Constitution build or Not

Not quite what I was expecting

[@genojoe3176]

I have to agree with Greg, you are doing an amazing job with a build that is complicated and scary at the same time. But the end results will be gorgeous when compared to your other builds.

You have done a really nice job of it so far. Will look forward to seeing the Santisima, , that's a really nice ship.

Thanks Greg. Are you working on one now?

Well, the things you have to do for yourself are normally the better looking and historically and scale-wise more correct. I normally throw away most of the things supplied anyway, so I guess that kit would be interesting for me, after all. The fun lies in scratch-building. Much more satisfying in the end. Of course, its consuming more time, but hey, we're not in a race, are we? It looks great so far, by the way.

Hi Andreas. This would be a good one for you if it wasn't for the price. Way over priced.

[@mapograph]

Are there any fun beginner level ships you would recommend?

[@gordonback]

Good morning and thanks for the question. First off the company that makes the kits have a lot to do with their constriction. My recommendation is OcCre. They are the best as far as I'm concerned. They are a Spanish co. I would recommend that you go to their site and have a look at their ships. They have a customer service that can't be beat, a lifetime warranty on everything. Their instructions and drawings are top notch. To your question, All ship models will be a challenge. The hardest part being the planking. You Tube is a treasure trove of information and how too vids. I would hope that you have some experience building models. Finely My orders from OcCre got to me here in MO in a week. That is crazy fast. You can ask the OcCre people for a recommendation on a starter kit. Good luck

@@gordonback thanks for the recommendation. already im enjoying their website with great beginner models. KZbin and the internet in general is a great place when you run into people like you. All the best.

@@mapograph The OcCre Albatross is a fantastic starter kit. It is many a new builders favorite go-to.
