The King of the Mississippi
I chose this model as there was a great youtube tutorial.
I learned lots as I foraged into the world of wooden model ships. Thank you Juan!
The kit. I love Artesania Latina, a Spanish model company as their ships
are relatively inexpensive yet high quality with lots of brass fittings
and hardwoods. The instructions can be hit and miss, but after a
few ships under your belt, you can figure most things out.
On this model I learned planking and bending wood. And patience!
