Hello guys,
Since I've only built an Armed Longboat, I have decided to do Mayflower as my next built. But am at a lost which model to pick between Shipways' model or Amati model?
Please help me decide. Thank you
 
If I’m correct, I think the Amati instructions are in Italian. The Model Shipways is definitely in English.
 
The Amati manual is bilingual - means you have an english text and also the italian. But most explanations are shown in sketches and small drawings
So less text, but sketches

we have several building logs of Mayflowers here in our forum, so maybe a clicking through the logs can help you making a decision
