Loretus Posted July 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2017 Hello everyone! This is my first post in MSW, although I have been following some of the build logs here. I am about to finish my first ship, which is the Drakkar by Amati (currently doing final rigging adjustements) and I think I did a pretty good job (for a first build). The thing is this hobby has catched me and now I want more! I would like to build something maybe a little more complicated, but not too much. Right now I am looking at the HMS Granado by Victory Models, but I am not sure if I will be able to pull it off due to my lack of experience... any advise? any other recommendation for a second build? Thank you! russ and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsjax Posted July 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2017 A very good model for a second build is the Model Shipways kit of the Skipjack "Willie Bennett". Enough detail to make it interesting but not so complicated as to be beyond a second time builder. russ and mtaylor 2 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

knightyo Posted July 20, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2017 I'd highly recommend the Syren. The instruction provided literally walks you through every process, step by step. Also, if you get stuck at any point, there are a lot of logs to view, and people within the forum to help; especially the creator the the model, Chuck. Instead of a possibly frustrating experience, you'd most likely have a very good experience. mtaylor 1 Quote Alan's POB Build Log HMS Triton 1/64 Alan's POB Build Log USS Syren 1/64 Alan's Build Log Nina 1/106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted July 20, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2017 I think that with one model under your belt already that Granado is a reasonable 2nd build. If that's the one that catches your eye, then have a go at it. mtaylor and John Allen 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Loretus Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted July 23, 2017 Thanks everyone for your answers! I'll have a look at your recommendations and make a decision soon. The Lady Nelson seems another good option to me. I'ts great to have the more experienced modellers share their opinions with us the newbies! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
