stripehunter Posted October 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2016 As I near completion of my AL swift, I need to start thinking about my next build. I had planned on working a sergal president (fictional ship rigged sloop) i have on the shelf, but i just acquired a corel victory cross section. Which would be a better next step in improving my skills, considering the swift im almost done with?

jhearl Posted October 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2016 I don't think it makes any difference. Any model you build should help to improve your skills. I'd suggest building the one that really excites you at the moment. I'm betting that's the cross section since you just acquired it.

donrobinson Posted October 5, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 5, 2016 I agree with John, although, flipping a coin is a scientific approach too Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsayrow Posted October 5, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 5, 2016 The cross section will give you a new set of skills: a square rig. Also it's a quick build. Out of the box it's pretty inaccurate though.
