What skill level would this model be for building?

[TheModellersShipyard]

Hi drail80s, this model is a beginners model. A skill level 2, meaning that you would have some knowledge of working with wood and tools etc. The Mermaid is a great introductory model to the world of model ships.

Excellent demo. Have stopped ship modelling for now, but when I get back to my HMS Endeavour I think i'll get hold of this DVD for a revision course.
