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.
