I was going to get HMS Pickle as a 2nd build..at the wifes suggestion no less!However I have been given Sergals SV Thermopylae as a thankyou present for helping a friend out...her late husband had bought it but unfortunatley was taken ill before it even arrived..so this is going to be my in-between project..looks fairly easy to do.You can get it from http://www.cornwallmodel.../mantua_thermopylae.htmlRob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

Hi Wallace and welcome aboard mate, I agree with Rob and his build of Thermopylae or perhaps the Cutty Sark which I am into, they are all pretty good for what you are seeking...good luck mate..  Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Hi wallace, and welcome. If your looking for a cheap second build, what about Ballahoo from Caldercraft? It may not look as exciting as Victory, but methinks it has everything we will need to learn. Also, being from Caldercraft, i expect it to be of good quality and is aimed at the novice builder as well! http://www.cornwallmodel..._schooner_ballahoo.html
Have fun with your Victory build Graham
