Hello all!
This is my first post hereabouts, registered some time ago to learn something about the hobby. Didn't plan to post yet, but I found this thread by coincidence and felt the urge to chip in.
I built a lot of (plastic) models years ago and recently got inspired to start building ships in wood instead. My goal is to scratch-build but I wanted to start learning by building the kit I wanted to have as a kid - Corel's Amphion. Talk about disappointment - only a couple of hours of research showed that the ship in the kit has nothing in common with the Amphion except that her lines were drawn by the same gentleman. I have nothing against fictitious ships but when the entire kit description is made up it's quite a let-down, especially when half the fun - for me at least - is doing the research and recreating something out of the past. I will order it anyway, if for no other reason than because I promised I would decades ago, so I hope the kit itself is nicely designed.
