    So many great suggestions, but I'm going to go with the Model Shipway Grand Banks Dory w/ tools for $39.99. It appears to be a great price for everything that's included, plus the instructions look great! The potential to learn this craft in stages also appeals to me (Skill Levels 1-3). I look forward to starting on this wonderful hobby. Thanks again to everyone for their input. Much appreciated!

    Hello, I am new to this forum, and I appreciate getting your feedback. I need all the help I can get! When I was much younger, I did a lot of plastic modeling, mostly WWll vintage planes. I really enjoyed it. I'm now 80, single, and looking to get into wood ship modeling (kits). Recently, I had a very unpleasant experience after initially purchasing several wood kits from a company that has the worst customer service I've ever had. These kits, Mamoli Mini kits, were supposed to be beginner kits; however, the instructions were, to me, quite confusing and not at all clear for a beginner, so I returned them. Now I'm back to square one. I really need your recommendations for wood kits that really are for beginners. Clear instructions are a must. I realize there are build logs available for many ship models, but it w/b nice if the instructions were laid out clear enough that it wouldn't really be necessary for an initial build. Plastic hulls, resin hulls, pre-carved hulls, plank on frame hulls....I'm confused. I don't want to spend $2-300 on an initial kit. What are some options I could consider? Many thanks!
