Thanks for all the advice everyone. As it turned out, by the time I figured out which model I wanted to try, I saw the Norwegian Sailing Pram from Model Shipways was out. I liked the Dory from the first kit, so I decided to try the pram. I just got the kit, but need some tools before I start. Does anyone have any advice on a drill set? I noticed the kit lists a number of drill sizes and pin vises. I looked them up but there are a bunch to choose from. I was going to just pick one but figured I see if anyone had any advice. I'm planning to start a build log for this model once I get the tools. Looking forward to getting started.

Hello all, I'm glad to find this group. I don't know how often I'll post (I tend to be more of a lurker) but I have enjoyed reading on this site as a "guest" for a month (told you I'm a lurker.) A little bit of my hobby history, I started building models as a kid, always plastic types, but I was never very good at it. My friend's father got me interested in someday doing a wooden ship model when he built a few 3-masted ships (quite well I might add) when I was a teen. With my state in quarantine the past few months, I made the leap and bought a Grand Banks Dory from Model-Expo. It took me a month but I think it came out okay for a first timer. I really liked the straight forward instructions that came with it and the "pro tips" the designer included to improve technique. Since I had a good experience with my first wooden model, I'm considering my second. Only I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Daryl
