Lady Buyer –
Made of Quality Material
This kit was purchased for my husband and he loves working on it. The materials are such quality and includes everything you need to make the ship – even paints and stains. All the tools are included and the kit is well worth the price!!

Poor value
Very difficult kit for even someone above novice level. parts do not fit well, no fun at all.

Great kit
I took this trip on a long cruise and built it in my cabin. I brought it home protected by Sox in my suitcase. It was fun to build and looks great on the shelf.
B. W. Hirn –
Level 2 building skill.
The wood is good and the die cuts accurate. The instruction book is good but suffers from a lack of proof reading. A nice little build so far. Strong hand helpful when bending and holding parts longer than normal for glue to cure.

Awesome but not for beginners
Came with nice tool set which you will need. End product is gorgeous. You should have some complex wood model building experience to do. Not for first model beginners.
