  1. Just get a basic PE set from e bay. Sometimes there are great offers on wooden deck stickers also.
  2. Buying a 10€ cheap kit for practicing on planking seems a good idea. Of course the outcome result won't be impressive, cheap quality wood etc. But even buying a book is more expensive and you won't get any practice which is the real thing.
  3. I found a series of video on YouTube, how to fully built HMS Beagle. That is pretty encouraging
  4. Are these kit complete?Or I need to buy other items for extra detailing, like photo etched parts?
  5. I am looking to buy my first kit, around 70-80cm long .I decided to go for a frigate model which suits my needs and my budget. So i found some nice models online and decided to share it with you. Every suggestion is welcome. My best option so far is this https://hobi.lt/en/hobbies/modelling/occre/occre-ns-mercedes-spanish-frigate-185-scale-wood-model-ship-kit-14007 or this https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/artesania-hermione.html#SID=1786 Do you think these models are suitable for begginers? Or should i look for something simplier, like these https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/model-shipways-rattlesnake-MS2028.html#SID=60 https://hobi.lt/en/hobbies/modelling/occre/160-occre-hms-beagle-ideal-beginners-scale-model-kit-12005 Also if you have a favourite sellen in EU, you can let me know here or via PM have a nice day all
  6. Its kinda confusing to me as the most popular brand in my area here is voted as the worst one. Maybe I need to order my kit from other European country.
  7. This small ship model looks very impressive. Way better than many big ones I ve seen. Looks like its ready to sail!
  8. Im just a newbie here but i think the poll result is a bit biased as the majority of users are from US, therefore they preffered local brands.🙂
  9. any tips, material used for making the sea? looks superb
  10. Hi, new member here. Im into 1/700 kits, i m building a collection of around 100 pieces, half made already , others are in stock as part of my collection. You can see a part of my stock in the assorted pic. I am thinking of building a nice wooden kit in the future but i havent decided it yet as seems to be a total different task. So i hope i get some useful tips and infos from the experts on this site have a nice all. Michael
