jefzee Posted December 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted December 26, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2014 welcome "Jefzee" Take a look at the Caldercraft/ JoTiKa range as well . All the best, Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted December 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 27, 2014 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! geoff 1 Quote Hornet Current Build: - OcCre Shackleton’s Endurance.
