I received my Santa Maria kit yesterday and unboxed it today. This is a heavy kit. Very well packaged and presented. I think it's a good value for the money. I've attached photos of the unboxing. There is a spiral bound instruction book. There are sheets with illustrations. There are...

I finished the Slipway this week end. Everything thing went together very well. The platform is extremely sturdy. It’s built like a torsion box so it’s perfectly flat. The clamps were the only things requiring a bit of adjustment. Next up is the

Hello guys and gals, I am new to SOS but building models. I am no expert so hope to learn a lot from the forum. I am going to start a build log if I can figure it out. I just received my next build from Pavel Nikkitin all the way from the Ukraine. Unfortunately he couldn’t send the ship plans...

Well! She certainly is a chubby little piglet and weighs about as much to. There is a lot of lumber in this build. As this kit comes with all pieces pre cut ( decking and planking ) I would consider this to be an excellent intermediate skill level ship to build. The finish done by pavel however...
