At first I was a little leery of this ship model. While I appreciated the minimal packaging, I wasn’t sure the gift was going to be worth it. As we unpacked it, the details that went into the ship were enthusiastically met! I am looking forward to the completed ship build.

I’m sure if you’re already into the wooden model building this might be a rather sophomoric review but this was my first build. It was rather simplistic in nature. Not overly detailed but still something to cut my teeth on. It was VERY delicate parts-wise and saying the instructions were overly vague is being overly generous. I struggled through it and added a few additional details of my own. Everything. And I mean ‘everything’ was wooden. Even the cannon. I put those to the side and ordered some nice looking brass colored metal ones at the right scale to replace them. It came out much nicer than I had expected. I am satisfied with the outcome.

Do not waste your time or money. I have built better kits. This kit has HORRIBLE directions. The quality of the materials is low grade which breaks easily, and you have to try to glue the pieces together. I will not order this brand again and hope others don't waste their money. The amount of frustration that there is when working on this would cause anyone to just throw it away. The maker of this product needs to go back to the drawing board to improve their product.

I'm still intimidated by this project so I mostly just stare at it hanging out on my desk.

I had just begun my first build of a wooden boat model. I originally purchased what was supposed be a beginners level kit ( so it was claimed ). After beating up this first model right from the beginning I thought I had better drop down to something easier and less expensive to gain some experience. While this model is certainly much less money it surprised me how difficult it's still going to be for me. Obviously this model requires planking which can be seen by the parts photo and which is probably the hardest thing to get right. The "instructions" are minimal, do not suggest what colors to paint or a reference to any real ship type. The laser cut parts are very nice and sharp. It does not come in a box but a plastic bag so I was glad it arrived in good condition considering the fragility of the parts. It may be a good starter model but not as easy as a once piece carved hull.

Tough to assemble. No instructions. You definitely have to have patience

Although the laser cutting quality is quite good, everything else is not great. The instructions can barely be called "instructions". My copy is so lightly printed it's almost not readable. There aren't any instructions for rigging, and there's LOTS of it! I'll build it, but I have relatively little hope of completing this model. I'll spend more time looking up rigging instructions and how to construct the masts than I'll spend building the damn boat.

my first ever model, of any kind, i really enjoyed it . unreadable instructions, steps done out of order and mistakes ran the distance, but.. i absolutely enjoyed it.. all that matters.. i keep seeing this turning up everyplace for sale , as high as 40 bucks , the lowest ive seen was 10$
