Build Log Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Senorbob]

I’m not finished with this model yet but I’m already thinking about my next build. I want to keep the scale 1:24 so I see the Glad Tidings Pinky Schooner (Model Shipways). Then looking at some building logs (the Russian lady and others) this kit seems to be way above my pay grade. What do you think

I have built the Glad Tidings. It's featured in the Model Shipways advertising, so they liked the result. It is on this forum in a couple of places. Paint and strip veneer hide a multitude of sins. I found the Kit challenging, but with a good set of plans, instructions and everything you need pretty well supplied. With patience it isn't much more challenging and difficult than the lobster smack (which I have also built and is also on this forum) just more of it. The Glad Tidings kit is a good logical next step up from the lobster smack. It requires slow, well considered, patient and thoughtful procedure, but is definitely within your skill set!
I'd recommend it. You could have a lot of fun with it and will find it a valuable learning experience.
