I just got back into modeling after 30 or so years by building the 1/72 scale Uss Gato kit from Revel. It turned out good and reignited the desire to get back into modeling.
I just received the Heller 1/100 Victory and have started with building the cannons while I await the arrival of the PE kit I ordered from Daniel. The kit I have appears different from others I see posted on this site and unboxing videos. All of the parts are molded in light tan, not multi colored. There's also only two small rolls of thread and no anchor line. So the question I have is what extras are must haves to make the model good? I'm looking at the wood deck offered from hismodel as well as the Amati line kit he offers. Are those good choices or are there better ones out there? What about wood blocks and such? I've never done a sailing ship model so it's all new to me.
Any help and advice you can all offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
