Welcome to MSW.

 

As for a recommendation, I am enjoying alert (first time builder), it is a great model and there are lots of build logs to follow along with.

Welcome Aboard to Model Ship World.  After you finish your 18th Century Longboat, I'd suggest the New Bedford Whaleboat by either Bluejacket or Model Shipways.  There are a number of build logs on MSW that you can follow.  The instruction manual for the Model Shipways kit is outstanding and is actually a mini treatise on the history and construction of whaleboats.  You can't go wrong with either kit.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
