A good start. Every time....
You don't have to have built a model ship before. Or have a technical flair. Or know anything about ships. What's important is that you always choose a model which matches your own level of experience. With time and practice, you`ll gain the experience and courage necessary to try your hand on the large model ships, like the Norske Løve or Wasa.

Beginner

These models have a simple construction process some being supplied as pre-formed ABS plastic hulls. Even the plank-on-frame models are suitable for those who have never tried model building before. But remember that even the easiest model takes more than one evening to build!

The Experienced

This level is for those who have built a model ship before, and are more seeking a more advanced model kit. Familiarity with plank-on-frame construction methods will be useful. Although these models also have a simple construction, though you will meet a number of 'challenges' on the way!

Advanced Beginner

Models in this category are straightforward and easy to build, more complex pre-formed hull models and simple wood hull kits. These are good models to start with traditional plank-on-frame model ship construction. Modellers with kit building or some wood working skills will be able to manage these kits, the level of detail work on these models is however left up to you.

The Expert

Even the well-trained model ship builder will find many challenges - and many hours of intensive occupation - with these large and impressive models. These sets require lots of dexterity and a perfect technique. And you'll be on your own with a lot of the details in the models.
