Your help please with next model kit

[Koopyetz]

I'm  wondering about my next kit after Emma C. Berry. 

 

I find the laser cut parts enjoyable to work with . I appreciate especially the frames precut in this way .

 

Im find that the lines of the hull with potential for exposing the frames to be what I see in my next kit .  

 

Something at a bit larger scale than the Emma.  Something with single deck . Also , the wood provided in Emma ( basswood ) is a bit delicate to work with 

so would like to work with a harder species of wood.

 

Thank you

I’ve been contemplating something similar (exposed frames) for the future and the CAF Le Coureur is one of the few kits that I’m aware of that is POF and would allow for exposed frames.

An alternative could be scratch building a section to expose frames in that area maybe?

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll research the kit.

I jumped from the Caldercraft Badger to the Amati/Victory Models Pegasus as my second build.  It's a fantastic, well made kit with great wood and other materials.  The Swan Class were really beautiful ships, and there are a number of logs here to help if you get stuck -- and then of course there is series of The Fully Framed Model books that can help if you want to kit bash and add additional details.
