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.
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.
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. UA-cam and the internet in general is a great place when you run into people like you. All the best.
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?

Thank you most kindly. I'm working on the San Felipe now. It will take a while.

Hi Andreas. This would be a good one for you if it wasn't for the price. Way over priced.
Are there any fun beginner level ships you would recommend?
