  1. As I was doing the next part of this build I realized that I did not have the proper tools for the job. I needed some chisels to make the cutouts for the uprights so I was forced to order some..
  2. I have decided that for my first build log (ever) I am going to build the Mantua Model 1:12 Norman Catapult. I decided on this so that I can get some experience working with wood before trying to build a ship. I have a lot of experience working with plastic and some with metal so it will be interesting to see how those skills transfer to working with wood. Here is the kit: And the first pieces put together:
  3. Hello, I am newly interested in building ships. I have mostly built 1/35 military kits, including resin and photo-etch. Also some mecha kits. Until recently I was not that interested in ship building. Then my brother died and I inherited his collection. He had a lot of ship kits in his collection and I decided to try and build at least one. I read the article on choosing your first kit and some of it I had already thought of. I don't think I have a lot of patience for doing a lot of rigging, so all those are out. I have narrowed my choices of first kit to the Mantua Models Caeser or the Amati Egyptian Ship. Both look fairly simple to me. I would be interested in hearing other peoples opinion on them. I think though, for my first foray into wood kits I am going to build the Mantua Models Norman Catapult to get some experience working with wood. Thanks for reading, Chris
