Jerry patrick Posted August 26, 2022 #1 Posted August 26, 2022 Hi: I have been building ship models seriously for 6-8 years. Just finished a New Bedford whale boat, which I have mounted on davits. Looking for ideas on what next. Dave_E, mtaylor, AJohnson and 1 other 4 Quote

allanyed Posted August 27, 2022 #7 Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Welcome to this motley crew. Where does your interest lie, merchant, navy, which century, &c? Barring scratch building, if you feel you have enough experience to tackle a more complex kit, study the build logs as suggested. There are a few good kit makers as well as a number of others that make one wonder if they have any idea what a ship actually looked like so caveat emptor.

HardeeHarHar Posted August 28, 2022 #9 Posted August 28, 2022 Greetings Jerry, welcome to MSW. Your question about what ship to build next is a good one. Having finished the relatively simple build of the HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat by Artesania Latina, I jumped overboard into deep water and am in the extended process of building the Bomb Vessel HMBV Granado by Caldercraft. I looked through the build logs before choosing this one, and one of the primary reasons I selected it was that there are numerous finished build logs for this kit on the forum, and every one of them is an extremely helpful resource. In addition, each one of the build logs produces a wonderful finished product, and sets the bar very high for those that follow. I second all of the advice offered by others: review the build logs and forum content thoroughly, think carefully, and consider available resources and time. Then make a wise decision so you can learn and enjoy and share your experience and knowledge with others as you go along! I'll be looking forward to following along on your next adventure if you share a build log. Cheers mate, Brian mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Brian Current Builds: HMBV Granado 1/64 Caldercraft; HMS Sphinx 1775 by HardeeHarHar - Vanguard Models 1:64-V2 Completed Build: HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat 1/25 Artesania Latina; Master Korabel - 1:36 Yefin Nikonov's Secret Vessel On the Shelf: HMBV Granado 1/48 CAF Model
