I have built a couple of small ones in the past, but the ones I own now are antique.

Follow the recommendations about starting small (no masts) and build from there.

Thank you, that makes sense, alot of work goes into rigging and sails etc and when I look at some of the beautiful models out there, it always makes me wonder how someone could have the patience and skill to not only build it, but make it look amazing Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote
mtaylor Posted October 18, 2022 #12 Posted October 18, 2022 ModelShipWays does offer a "beginners line" of ships. It's three models and each one builds on what you learned on the previous one. It's a good concept, not a huge outlay in cash.

flutlo6180 Posted October 22, 2022 #13 Posted October 22, 2022 Hi Ross. Welcome aboard! When you select the kit consider starting a build log. It is the best way to meet members and get advice and makes the daunting task a better experience.
