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!
