I think @MarisStella would be better served answering the specific questions that modelers ask rather than the multiple re-postings of the same material. It is wonderful to hear about all the research that MS is doing in their endeavours to provide accurate models, but if modelers (who have...

I had to chuckle looking at your log for the small boat. I had a weak moment a few months back and decided a good break would be building Pavel's 1:48 scale small boat. Big fingers added a lot of frustration to manipulating small parts. I broke more than a few, gave up and put the kit back on...

I built a similar (but different model) boat from Pavel. I wouldn't say there were any real errors in the kit, but I found it quite challenging and some pieces were not long enough. My boat is shown here.

She said she has not seen an email and Crowne does not seem to know anything about this.

Thank you. My wife purchased so I will have her check her emails .

@MarisStella Am I correct in assuming that @Modelship Dockyard is a distributor of Maris Stella in China?

I have the Cog and know how it should be. To get a kit in an unmarked box with a bunch of junk was definitely a birthday surprise…

It is not strange,the kits can be manufactured in China ,I emailed Zoran from Marisstelka ,lets see what he replies

MarisStella is based in Croatia. Compare what's published on the official website. China? Incredibly strange. http://www.marisstella.hr/model-ship-kits-details,118,ragusian-carrack-nava-217-wagons-77-5cm-3051-1-59

I have a friend. He assembled a model from "MarisStella (Croatia)". These models are more like blanks. You have to think a lot. He spent about two years making this model. Our model is very similar. The drawings are of very poor quality. I requested them by email. I decided to make the base for...

Croatian Maris Stella also proposes a beginners' series. I don't know how good or bad they are, but maybe someone else on this forum does. http://www.marisstella.hr/model-ship-kits-details,302,beginner-set-level-1

...not reach that phase yet. What kind of glue did you use to glue the veneer deck to the bulkheads and then the deck planks to the veneer. Marisstella warns against veneer warping if glued with water based glue. The thin plywood deck base supplied by Amati for the Xebec was, in my opinion, a...

...toothpicks (see photos). These will be covered by a longitudinal plank, to be glued at a latter stage (which was already foreseen by MarisStella). Finally I sanded the walnut and plywood keels near the stern post, so that the it is narrower at the bottom (as instructed by MarisStella). A...

...or cloth wing coverings) and getting quite an unexpected response! A few of the other kits I've seen that are interesting includes the MarisStella Stilac and other similar ship models, the Liburnian Monotreme, and one of the Viking Osebergs. One thing is certain: the community here is very...

...very precise. Bulkheads required only light sanding to fit in the keel. In despite of this, I already have some ideas that deviate from MarisStella instructions. First of all, the keel of the model, made of 4 mm plywood seems a little fragile and too flexible to my liking. It does not...

...to build - I couldn't find a complete build log of it, although it has been launched some years ago. This seems to be reckoned by Marisstella, that improved several aspects of the building method and instruction book to make life easier to builders. The future will tell if the choice didn't...

My Ontario nuild is based on the Marisstella kit drawings and other sources https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/hms-ontario-1780-scale-1-32-pob-full-version.1185/post-37933

Firstly, many thanks to all those who responded and offered their help!!! I really appreciate it! Now, some answers to everyone. Thanks for the link. Yes, it is possible to order from Ukraine, but there are three "buts." Firstly - not a small amount of delivery, as well as the product itself...

For the lightest pear, you might consider bleaching the wood you have to lighten it. I wanted lighter planking on the deck of my Ragusian Carrack, so rather than buying new, used bleach to lighten the walnut in the kit. Experimentation would be required to get the required hue, but it might...

I've had this new and updated kit for about 2 weeks now and have started assembly. It came with the 3D parts, upgraded blocks and canons and I purchased the sails as well. One thing you really need to do especially for me is read the 293 page manual, which seems to start half way through. I...
