"king of the Mississippi"
scgrand1
approximately 6 months to complete but enjoyed every minute of it. Made a few mistakes along the way but because of how busy the boat is only I know where the mistakes are, unless YOU look closely. Came up short with the railings but the manufacturer sent me what I needed. If you go to my pictures you will see what this boat really looked like on any given day. On to my next project, USS Nimitz. 38 inches long, can't wait to get started. Richard

 
"Just the best"

I love building wooden ships, as a matter of fact I have 4 going right now 3 of them three masts type and this one. In the 30 or so years of building wooden ships I can honestly say I have had more fun building this then any of them. Everything goes together without a hitch. The plans are top notch and very clear with a complete parts list with lengths of material so no guessing. It has gone a lot faster then I had anticipated, I think because it is so much fun. Everyone that comes in and sees all the ships always go to this one first and ask a lot of questions, so I had to bone up on steam-powered paddle boats. If you are new to this hobby I would recommend this over something with a lot of rigging (which can be very intimidating for a beginner), it has very little rigging, and you don't have to worry about planking issues like getting a strip of wood around the bow.

 
"quality product"
shimkofranko
just finished the king of the Mississippi steamboat took almost 3 months working sometime almost every day. I have built sailing ship models but this was by far the most challenging. the finished model is outstanding. like one gentleman in a previous review said his wife was going to display it in the living room. I was kind of skeptical about that comment but the same thing happened to me. in thirteen years of marriage my wife was never to interested in my projects but she too is wanting to get a display shelf for the model. patience is something you need if you are building this model. it is surely an advanced kit but well worth the effort. artesania latina built an outstanding quality kit
