Note from Sergio: "I always tell people who are interested in wooden ships to start with something like the Nurkse. It’s not intimidating, the pieces fit well, and you get to learn the basics of how a hull and mast go together. It’s a small, honest project that looks great once it's finished. I recommend this if you want to test the waters of wooden modeling before moving on to the bigger ships like the Victory."
