What wood should I use for my ship model? What is the difference between all those plywood? Why shouldn't I use walnut wood?

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Wood for Ship Modeling

There is not an easy answer to all these questions, but let's try to understand the main material we are using a bit more.
I often see that beginner ship modellers have no idea why there are using a certain type of wood or in same cases what are the advantages or disadvantages.
In this video I try to make things a bit clearer for people who are just starting their kits and might find some useful information when they will start to build their first scratch built model!
