Welcome aboard to MSW!  How do you like the Model Shipways Mayflower?  I've been pretty pleased with Model Shipways Flying Fish that I've been picking away at.  The Britania castings however, leave something to be desired though.  Welcome aboard.  I hope to see some pics of your Mayflower project at some point.

It’s only my second wooden build so I don’t have much to base an opinion on. The cast crows nests are junk and I’m going to try to make them from scratch.  I saw that done by another member and have asked if he has plans to share. Fingers crossed
