    donrobinson got a reaction from Keith Black in What kit to get   
    One of the kits I had the most fun with was the Batelina from MarisStella. This boat gives you the taste of almost all the elements of ship building besides masting and rigging at a scale (1:10) that is so easy to work with. You will get a taste of planking,, shaping, bending and carving, all essentials of ship building. At a cost of under $100 you are not going to break the bank. They have a link on the homepage. Also check out my build in my signature, I did add a few extras but then that's what the fun is all about.
     Finally look for a model with a larger scale,  !;48 or larger. It is much easier to learn on larger scales and it's not quite as frustrating.
    Good luck and have fun!!

    Beautiful work Frank. It looks like to me that the top row of rings are independent of each other and not tied together, The second row of rings are looped around the first and  this row is then tied together. Just my observation. Hope this makes sense
