*by C***K on May 12, 2018*

This is a fabulous kit. It comes with a myriad of realistic cast parts and the blueprints are clear and accurate. The finished product is stunning. This is NOT a kit you should buy if you need your hand held throughout the construction process. Completing this model will take between 700-900 hours. You do not get step-by-step directions, meaning that you have to figure out some of the steps for yourself. If you are willing to put in some time and take some chances, you will be rewarded with a real showpiece.

much more complicated than I expected. Hopefully I will finish it or they will have to bury me with it !!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am in awe of the people who successfully build models like this
*by E***O on August 2, 2021*

The good news is that this is a very high quality, detailed kit. That said, don't think (as I did) that because you are good at building models your skills will carry you through this. It's not enough to be a good model builder; you also need to understand the vocabulary and terminology of 16th century military warship building. I'm not only trying to build the most intricate and complicated model of my life, but at the same time, learning a new vocabulary. The "instructions" are somewhat general, and assume that you are an old hand at building 16th/17th century warships. If you are NOT an old hand at building this kind of model, expect to do a lot of research prior to doing anything with the model itself. YouTube has a treasure trove of helpful info. All that said, I'm looking forward to the journey that has just begun for me...
