Fantastic work.
I was trying to decide on a first build, and after reading your log and others here , including info to the practicum, I am pretty sure this is the kit for me.
Thank you for such a detailed and useful log

Looking good.
I am thinking of getting this as my 1st kit. Just tossing up if I should get the mermaid or the Norfolk . And if I should get the deluxe with copper plating or not.
Would you recommend them based on the manuals and quality ?
My other option was a model shipways armed virginia sloop, which is much cheaper, even after exchange rate and export...but I'm wondering if the manual is as good as the model shipyard ones with the DVD as well.
Cheers

I'm tossing up between this, and the Cutter Mermaid by modellers Shipyard as my 1st model.

Thanks for your information Leanne, I'm very tempted to go with the Mermaid, as you have convinced me the documentation will hopefully guide me through!
I just need to decide on the deluxe or not.
I really like the look of the copper hull, but am not sure if that would greatly increase the complexity or if it is a simple part compared to the planking of the hull.
Cheers
