Review: Very Fun and Worth the Extra Money for UGEARS - As I've said on other UGEAR models, these are made in the Ukraine, not Asia and well worth the extra money for quality and supporting the Ukrainians. I go beyond the directions and sand every piece. I also color parts of them with watercolor to make them more interesting. Highly recommend all UGEARS models.
Review: very good quality model - THis is a very interesting model with a lot of pieces to assemble. It will take you plenty of time and a good deal of patience to get it right. I have built ten of UGears models and several from other companies, this is not the most difficult, or the most complicated. Thend rocker gear motor in this is not very complicated, it just takes patience to get it assembled. Sand the gear teeth lightly with fine sand paper (I use 320 grit) and wax them well ( a common paraffin wax candle works better than the supplied wax). Sand all the bearing surfaces and wax them well. The pendulum gear and rocker need to be smooth and waxed. If it moves or slides, wax it. I don't think you can overdo it. once the mechanism is together, you need to wind it (the instructions say 5x360 but that is wrong, it should be 5x180) and run the mechanism. You will have to help it along by hand the first couple of times, but after it wears in it will begin to function on it's own. It usually takes four to six runs through a winding to get it working well. The rubber bands fit the wheel parts just fine, but you have to stretch them to get them in. You might need two people, or a bench vice like I used to get the bands in the small retainer. Wax the tabs on the wooden parts before you push them in, they go in much easier, wax the toothpicks too, it really helps. There are only a few pieces that use toothpicks, and they are on the external components, not the gear mechanism. This ends up being a very nice looking model. It works well and mine runs about 9 feet on a wind. Another quality product from UGears.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great model that takes some time to build properly
*by C***Y on January 7, 2021*

This was a pretty fun model to assemble. It was definitely time-consuming to do it properly. I’ve done a lot of these type models and this one ranked as one of the most time consuming. I could have done it much faster, but I didn’t want to break anything and I wanted it to function properly the first time. I succeeded in that, but with a lot of effort and patience. Like their other model kits, the instructions were mostly pictures. This is great as it provides details and makes it easy to know where pieces are found where and exactly what the pieces will look like when assembled properly. Other pros of this kit are the multiple different types of materials used in the construction. Of course the wood pieces are similar to other models, but the use of rubber bands to attach the life rafts to the ship and nylon cord to form handrails added a fun challenge. I also liked the larger piece of sandpaper that came with this model compared to their others. It was helpful for the larger pieces to be sanded more quickly and also made it a little easier to hold for sanding the small pieces. A small criticism would be that some of the sheets were cut with wood knots on some of the most prominent exterior pieces, which takes away from the beauty of the completed project. I understand that’s how wood is sometimes, but surely they could use those pieces as interior pieces that don’t affect the exterior appearance. Overall this was a great model and I would recommend it for experienced builders of these type models, or for a beginner with a LOT of patience, but it really isn’t for kids or people who don’t want to spend some time to build it properly.
