Appreciate all of the advice and warm welcome

Vanguard's Zulu and Fifie are incredibly tempting, especicially after reading the build logs chris posted. They look like very high quality kits and the manual pdfs I took a peak at are very detailed.

I am kind of coming into the hobby backwards, appreciate the craft of the models but do not know much about ships/naval history at all. Will take my time to research and find something I am passionate about.

Thanks all for the advice. I don't plan on starting a project until later next month, so will take my time to research and find something I am passionate about building (while still being achievable with no experience). Will also read some build logs from other users in the meantime to learn more about the process

Hi all, 

I am new to modelling and discovered this wonderful site last week. After a few days of lurking, it seemed best to make an account! 

I was hoping to elicit some suggestions for a first project. I reviewed the pinned post in the wood ship kit discussion board but am still at a loss. 

Vanguard Model’s Zulu looks lovely, but it seems more like a great second project. I am hoping to find a first kit that isn’t as expensive, so I would be less worried about making mistakes. 

Are there any models under £100 that are forgiving for a first timer? From the models recommended in the first build post it seems I can get most of the Artesania Latina kits and some Model Shipways’.
