Muscongus Bay lobster smack: A new Shipwright's Series kit

摘要

This kit is the third in the new Shipwright's Series of progressive model tutorials designed by David Antscherl for Model Shipways, a division of Model Expo. These kits are filling a void in our hobby for simple but good kits that teach the new model builders the necessary skills to enable them to move on to build bigger, more complex kits.The Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack kit is labeled as a Skill Level 3 kit. The first paragraph on the first page of this level 3 kit has the following advice from the kit designer: "This is not a 'first time' beginner's kit. I want you to be successful, so strongly recommend that you build the Model Shipways dory or pram kit first. You will learn the basic skills and techniques needed to successfully complete this kit." The author thought this important enough that red ink was used for the entire paragraph.
