Reviews

The reviews highlight a generally positive experience with the model kit, noting its challenging yet rewarding build process, high-quality components, and impressive display once completed. Common feedback includes issues with missing or insufficient parts like rigging line and a stand, as well as some inaccuracies in measurements, plans, and instructions that may not suit beginners. Additionally, there are mixed experiences with customer support, with dissatisfaction towards one provider contrasted by praise for another's assistance.

Lots of satisfaction in this build
My name is Ray and I'm 67 years old, this is my 7th build. This was a fun build for me. It had some moments of distress and some of joy (more joy than distress) It was a challenge for me and that's what makes a good model. I believe this was my best build yet. All and all the kit and the instructions were fairly good.' Could have used more rigging line. (had to order more) The scale was good, except for the stairs and the life boat. I made my own stairs but had to use the life boat. There were lots of measurements off the plans and the picture it's self. Which I enjoyed doing, makes it feel more like real boat building. If I had to rate this kit I would give it a B+. I would recommend this kit for those who like a challenge and problem solving.
FANTASTIC SHIP
This was a very detailed ship and very hard to build, But i loved doing it. It displays beautifully and is very impressive, The only thing I had a hard time with is there was no stand with the kit. I built my own stand from a small piece of plywood. This ship took me almost 4 months to build and i enjoyed every minute of it. Very challenging. My wife said it kept me out of her hair the whole time and she loved the displayed finished model. I think she was a little surprised i had the patients to do this ship. My first one was the small Bounty.
So Far So Good
Just started the model and so far so good. I have done 7 ships from this company and I think, if you have built a few wooden ships, they are the best. The instructions are not made for a beginner, keep that in mind when buying. The kit contents are in excellent condition and are of high quality. If you are interested I am building this model for a friend who has asked me to keep a log of it progress, I have a blog set up where you can check the build out. sanfranciscowoodenshipbuild.blogspot.com come and check it out.
