    The 3 builds are all old, and not that informative about the quality of the kits. Think I'm most likely are going to aim for the Mantua kit, as I think it have the best looking deck of the 2 kits.

    Not much feedback...

    Hey all, I have set my eyes in Gorch Foch as my 2nd ship - and hopefully for my Christmas gift from the wife. However there are 2 models out there, either from Mantua or Occre. From other reviews of the manufacturers, it seems that the wood quality of Occre lacks a bit. But what about Mantua, how are they? And who makes the overall better instructions? The price for the kits are somewhat close, just that the Mantua kit comes without sails. /Henrik

    Hi Dimitris, Thank you for your reply - I really enjoy to follow your build. It will not be my first ship, I just like to plan ahead. I think I have settled for the Marie Jeanne from AL as my first build.

    Hi all, I have been lurking around this forum for a while now. In the past I have started a few builds, but always had trouble when I came to the planking. But after I found this forum, I think I would manage with a new kit. I will start with a smaller set from most likely Artesania, but my goal is one the naval training ships. But which set should I go for; Which set have the best plans? Best fit? Best components? I'm looking for the a build around 100cm long, but there are more manufacturers making the same ship. The ships i primarily have been looking at are; Skoleskibet Denmark by Billing Boats, Gorch Foch and Amerigo Vespucci. My budget is around 350-400€. Hope that I can get some feedback on which set to choose. Kind regards Henrik
