Gundorph Posted June 20, 2015 #1 Posted June 20, 2015 I wanted to hear what you think is the best kit? Is it worth paying a little more for the Victory Models HMS Granado?? Its gonna be my next build... And i want the best of these to kits... Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
FredSC Posted June 20, 2015 #2 Posted June 20, 2015 Take a look at Timmo's and Joe V's Caldercraft Grenado build logs. They are spectacular. I'm doing Grenado now (not at all spectacular) and think Caldercraft has put together a fine kit. I wouldn't know how to compare it to the Victory kit without having done that too. Quote
Gundorph Posted June 21, 2015 Author #3 Posted June 21, 2015 I have looked at Timmo´s and Joe V´s Granado Logs. And they looks gorgeous. I lean towards Caldercraft also... Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
jwvolz Posted June 22, 2015 #4 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the nice words guys. I can highly recommend the Caldercraft kit. Other than the outer walnut hull planking, which was "splintery" in my kit, the materials were first rate. Also one of the best manuals I've seen and very good plans. If you have any specific questions on the kit let me know. Edited June 22, 2015 by Joe V. Landlubber Mike 1 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W. Latham" Completed builds on MSW: Caldercraft HMS "Cruizer" Caldercraft HMBV "Granado" Model Shipways "Prince De Neufchatel"
Gundorph Posted June 22, 2015 Author #5 Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks Joe for the advise... Caldercraft it is... Ryland Craze 1 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
