SAILINGSTORY Wooden Sailboat Model Ship Bluenose 1/80 Scale Replica Medium

Overall very satisfied, love the sail details, makes it. The first one that I received was damaged. Check very carefully when you open for cracks. The main body and adornments are decent. Easy to install sails and with just some fine scissors trim off extra loose end thread .

This, this is a beautiful model that is fun to put together as well as simple. This vessel is something near and dear to my heart. Because it holds memories for me. She is beautifully depicted and very well made and is a lovely addition to my home

I got this for a friend in another country has a gift and it arrived safely in its original packing and was easy to open and display. They sent me a picture of it in their window because they were absolutely thrilled with it! Great quality and really beautiful

Easy to finish assembly. Nice detail. I have it on my fireplace mantel.

Beautiful schooner.

This is a lot of bang for your buck. It’s very nice for an office or any nautically themed room. Shipping was fast

Easy to assemble Had fun doing it. Looks great as living room item. The sail and mast rigging took some concentration but got through it.

Just like the description says, this isn't a "model" or kit. Think of this like a piece of IKEA ffurniture you have to assemble. Should take you about 10 - 20 minutes. Once it's done, it is nice, but not something that you can kill a whole afternoon putting together.

Generally I like the look of the model however there are some quite glaring non scale parts to the model but would not be noticed by those who don't know how the original was, When I first assembled the masts and rigging (which I found reasonably easy) I found that the rigging at the end of the main boom would not reach the hook on the deck (see attached image) - I initially created an S bend in a piece of thin wire to extend the length so it would reach that hook. I then noticed that the main reason was because the rigging attaching the bottom of the main sail was far too tight resulting in the sail being half wrapped around the boom instead of the bottom of the sail being slightly above the boom as it also was in real life. I unpicked the rigging and 'eased' it out using a spare piece of rigging rope from the kit I was trying to build. This and another 'easing' of rigging allowed the rigging at the end of the main boom to reach the hook on the main deck (see attached image). This was my main complaint about the model and many buyers may not have the expertise to correct it.

للاسف خفيف الوزن ولا يوجد اهتمام بالتفاصيل مثل الخيوط وبقية القطع

Had a look at the market, for models of the Bluenose. Some cheaper, but poor quality. Others were superb, but at a cost. This model is a 'goldilocks' model. Has some bits of rigging that require some patience, but the finished model is great value and enhances my study.

Brilliant craftsmanship

J'ai acheté le modèle large : 33 pouces par 25.5 pouces. Aucun regret. Ce modèle est très facile à assembler : 10 à 20 minutes. C'est magnifique. Je le recommande. J'ai beaucoup de commentaires positifs depuis son installation au mur. Le modèle en lui même est suffisamment détaillée et très léger.
