Mini-Mamoli the best first ship model?

Picking your first wood ship model kit can seem daunting with the wide range of kits available. There are amazing models of fully-rigged ships-of-the-line but they will cost you hundreds of dollars and will take hundreds of hours to complete.

Instead, we're creating videos featuring ship model kits that you might find better for your first foray into ship model building. These are kits of smaller vessels that are reasonably priced and that you can complete in a reasonable amount of time, before the initial rush of enthusiasm begins to wain.

Everything you learn and the skills you acquire while building one of these models will leave you far more prepared to tackle that ship model you dream of building.

In this video we take a look at the racing schooner America from the Mini-Mamoli line of kits.
