I'm looking for a nice wooden ship, to stick on a shelf in a side room. Now, I could probably manage a half arsed attempt at a plastic kit, but it needs to look decent and professional. Problem is, to buy a pre built, like this:



Is £1190.

Whereas I can get a wooden model and make it myself for around a hundred quid.

Are they easier than plastic kits, and having never done one before, how is the difficulty level?

Failing that, I've seen similar to the above, for about £300, similar size but a lesser quality (but still good):


If anyone knows any good and well priced supplies as to where I should be looking, that'd be great.
