Hi, I am new to Model SHip World and I am in the process of selecting a project.  I would rate myself as an experienced intermediate model builder.  I have had experience with Corel, Amati and OcCre and prefer kits with good English instructions.  I understand that Billings Boats and Constructo instructions are more user friendly than Sergal or Mantua.  What would your advice be as to which I will enjoy more?  Thank you,  Jeffzee

I have the Caldercraft Bounty 'on the shelf'. It will be my next build. I am currently working on the Caldercraft 'Supply'. The second planking walnut planks on this kit were poor quality but the rest of the kit was quite Ok. I have looked through my Caldercraft Bounty Kit and the timber in it is much better than that supplied with 'Supply' - maybe because it was quite a lot more $$$$. It comes standard with copper plates and the plans seem quite good. So as Geoff says, take a look!
