So you have dipped your toes into building your first cutter or brig rigged sloop and you are looking at all those lovely three decker build logs on SOS and wondering if you are ready for the leap to something more complex and challenging. Really, you need an intermediate model, that bridges the complexity gap and lets you upskill a little and make your mistakes but at a reasonable price, so that if it all goes the hell, you won't be crying in your beer.
So, for me the perfect bridge is something like Victory Models - HMS FLY - £265. This provides three masts, more complex rigging, a forecastle and poop deck to deal with, a small stern gallery and about a 1250-1500 hour build and allows you to rehearse many of the skills you will need for larger three decker's at a very good price.
What intermediate kits would you recommend?
