I was thinking of.,hms victory/ sanitisma trinidad or the us constitution ,thanks for the advice im in darwin australia any help would be great.

Hi, Show,

I'm newbie and working on my first model, but I did my research about "best kit", even wrote a topic about it and have to say that there is no such thing like "best"

If y'are gunning for HMS Victory I'll  recommend you Caldercraft version, but you know - the best model is the finished model

A friend of mine bought this kit, yes it's expensive one but it's marvelous!

Excellent quality and very clear/understandable instructions even for a beginner like myself. And the reason that I vouch for Caldercraft version is because of instructions.

If y wondering about the kit I'll advise y to check "build logs" - as many as you can. I'm positive that you will find all answer in logs (works for me)

So, if y still choosing y can take a look on Panart - San Felipe. In my opinion is also a good one

Happy building

Cheers,

Asgard

Hi Miro,

 

If you start a Build Log for your San Francisco (in the "Build Logs for Kits" forum) we might get an idea of your skill level. Then we would be better qualified to recommend a second model ship for you based on that. All the kits you are looking at require a high level of skill, and will take at least 2 or 3 years to complete so bear that in mind.

 

BTW - it doesn't matter if you are a fair way into the San Fran. You don't need to have a shiny new unopened box on your bench to start a Log .

Hi Dan,

I'll collect some photos during the process and make a Log.

Hi All,

After some research I've decide to make some kind of a pool.

So far my choices are:

Ship                                          Manufacture

Wasa                                         Billing Boats or Corel
HMS Victory                             Billing Boats or Corel or Artesania Latina
HMS Agamemnon                   Caldercraft
HMS Prince                              Constructo
Vasa Swedish Man of War      Sergal/Mantua 
Montanes                                 Occre
Santisima Trinidad                  Occre
San Felipe                                Panart (my favorite)

Again, please share your knowledge/experience/anything and help me to decide.

Looking forward to hear from

Cheers,

Miro

Hi All,

I'm looking for advice and I think that this is the right place

So far I have some experience with building trains and plains. Currently working on my first kit - "Nuevo Galeón San Francisco II" Artesania Latina and for now everything goes well.

Anyhow, I'm looking for my next model  My budget is around 600-700 $. Could y recommend some kit/manufactures. Right now on the top of my list  is OcCre - SANTISIMA TRINIDAD / MONTAÑÉS and Artesania Latina - HMS Victory 

but I'm open for any advises/ideas.

Cheers,

Miro
