PenombraET Posted March 23, 2022 #1 Posted March 23, 2022 Hi everyone! It's been a few years since I last built a model and I want to get back into it. I am having a hard time deciding what kit to build. I would say the level I am looking for is medium-advanced. I don't have specific preferences, but I would like something with plenty of small details. What would you recommend? ccoyle, Ryland Craze and JeffT 3
Ryland Craze Posted March 24, 2022 #2 Posted March 24, 2022 Hi PenombraET and welcome to Model Ship World. It is hard to recommend a particular ship model kit that is in the medium to advanced skill level without knowing what type of ship model you would like to build. I know a lot of our members are building ship model kits from Vanguard Models https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/ plus the designer of these kits, Chris Watton, is a member of this forum. Here is a link to the many build logs of the Vanguard kits. Maybe you will find one of their kits that peaks your interest. https://modelshipworld.com/tags/Vanguard Models/ JeffT, Dave_E and Gregory 3 Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat

mtaylor Posted March 25, 2022 #6 Posted March 25, 2022 Welcome to MSW. As to your question.... any preference on the size of the finished model? I'd think Syren's Winchelsea or Vanguard's Sphinx might fit the bill. These are pretty new and also complex.
