waagbuck,

I'll echo the positive comments on the Venture 60; it was one of the best kits I've ever built. The wood, die-cutting, etc., was just flawless.

The problem is that this won't be much of a "winter project". As Bill alluded to, the Venture is nothing more than a Four Star 60 with class. IOW, it will go together quickly and easily.
