Really fun ship to put together but not easy. Feb 05, 2012 By Bart
I put this ship together 2 separate times. The first time when I was about 12 or 13 and the second time when I was about 22. The instructions are really clear and easy to follow and the pieces are of really good quality. Revell has always been one of my favorite plastic model kit companies. It is a really fun ship to put together but it's definitely for someone who has experience.

I remember the very first time when I put it together, I didn't care much about painting it or putting on the sails. I just cared about actually putting it together. The second time however, I paid close attention to the details and painting it. You can build the ship either with sails or leave it without the sails and just have the ropes. When I built this ship the second time, I left it without the sails. Attaching the sails would be a nightmare... maybe I'll do this the 3rd time around hehe :). Attaching the ropes to the masts was definitely the hardest part. I had to use 2 different tweezers and use them as if they were my fingers. I also had to use glue so that the knots wouldn't untie.

Check out my uploaded pictures of the nearly finished model. (Not all of the ropes have been tied around the masts)

Detailed Oct 14, 2010 By dri
First of all I must say that this is my first try on something like this. I tried to make the ship as detailed as I could and I think it the end result is good, the ship has a lot of little details that make it really look interesting, which is obviously good.
The problem that I have is that I am an adult and it was pretty complicated to put together some things, I do not know if a kid would actually have the patience and ability to make it without getting frustrated. I think the order in the instruction manual is not the better.

Not for Beginners Dec 02, 2011 By Pearl Gates "Someday Maybe who Knows Baby"
I built this when I was 12 years old. It took a lot of time and experience to get to this point. When finished it was very cool to look at. This was the hardest model I ever made and took perhaps a few weeks to complete.

A Great Disappointment Jun 17, 2010 By Frank Alameda
I was very disappointed with this model. I purchased it to keep me occupied and help me relax while recovering from surgery. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect and only made me frustrated. Supplied instructions are often very hard to follow. They could have made assembling this model much easier by simply providing some detailed images of the final result. The only photos available are on the box and too small to see any details. Many parts just didn't fit together tightly which affected the attachment of other parts. Too many parts broke away from the trees with unwanted attachment pieces larger than the details necessary to identify the piece. Also too many of the pieces that are supposed to fit with pegs into predefined holes, were impossible to insert. I'd like to mention that I called their customer service on one occasion when I was stumped and was very pleased with the response and help I received. My intent was to practice with this smaller scale, fewer pieces, model first and then invest in the larger sized, many more parts, model. I've read some good reviews on the larger model and can only assume that it's a very different product. After my experience however, I am afraid to invest the money and end up with the same disappointment.
