allanyed Posted June 4, 2022 Share #5 Posted June 4, 2022 Bienvenu Monsieur Haricot. Kev gives great advice!! 31 minutes ago, Peanut6 said: Be sure you check out the "For Beginners - A Cautionary Tale" thread. Too many newcomers start with overly complex or one of a plethora of poorly designed kits. If wooden ships are your choice, take a serious look at the Model Shipways' Shipwright Learning Series designed by David Antscherl then you will have few, if any, problems if you follow up with a more complex project from Syren or Vanguard.
