TheOnlyWayToTravel1900 Posted July 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2023 Any suggestions for a good kit for a beginner? I'm more interested in doing a Ocean liners, so any ood kits that would help me head in that direction would be great.

ccoyle Posted July 3, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 3, 2023 Welcome to MSW! The answer to your question depends in part on what medium you wish to work in. Liners in wood are relatively uncommon, except for the ubiquitous Titanic kits. Plastic is another story, but I'm not familiar with what's available. If you are interested in card models, liners are popular subjects in that medium. I can steer you toward some entry-level card kits if you'd like. Cheers!

Kelp Posted July 3, 2023 Share #5 Posted July 3, 2023 There is a 1:570 Revell Titanic kit that is still fairly easy to find. There is also a 1:1200 scale Revell Queen Mary 2 and also a 1:570 scale kit of the Queen Mary (the older 3 funnel Queen Mary).
