In my previous treat I have posted the build of this fantastic model kit from Maris Stella. It was great fun building it. The quality is great.
It took me about 100 hours spread over 4 months. I recommend it for the experienced builder.

beautiful work on a wonderful model
 
Particularly fine job of rigging (in my opinion). I also like the baseboard and wonder what wood it’s made of.
 
Very nicely done, you should be pleased with how this looks and the fine craftsmanship!!!
 
Very nice, You did a fine job on this ship. 100 hrs well spent. She belongs to be shown off so she can be enjoyed. One day I hope to make ships look as well as her.

A Commitment to Authenticity: Our Research Journey




In 2022, we faced significant challenges regarding the perceived quality of the historical research underpinning our ship models. This vulnerability was exploited by competitors in attempts to discredit our products. In response, we embarked on a comprehensive initiative to solidify our foundation. We meticulously gathered primary source materials from relevant domestic museums, including manuscripts, contracts, books, professional studies, and high-resolution photographs of historical artifacts. Through dedicated study and analysis, we have since developed our own authoritative works and reference materials.



A major undertaking currently in production is a definitive book focused on the fleet of the Republic of Ragusa. This volume, spanning approximately 1,500 A4 pages, will integrate photographs of artifacts, our technical drawing designs, original research papers, and archival scripts, serving as an exhaustive scholarly resource.



Our research publication series began with the work “Navicello: Truth or Myth!?”



Furthermore, we have completed expanded research dossiers on the Ragusian Carrack, Cog, and Galleon. This deepened research directly informs a new series of promotional films for our ship model kit line, enhanced with professionally produced content that highlights historical precision and craftsmanship.

Subject: Clarification on Shipping Cost Calculation

Dear Client,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding shipping costs. To clarify, the shipping cost is not fixed; it is determined by the "Weight/Volume Factor." In practice, the higher of the two metrics—volume or weight—will be used as the basis for calculating the shipping charges. This means:

If the volume of the package is higher in proportion to its weight, the shipping cost will be calculated based on the volume.

If the weight is proportionally higher, the cost will be calculated based on the weight.

This industry-standard method ensures fair and accurate pricing for all shipments. If you have any specific shipment details you’d like us to assess, please share them, and we’ll be happy to provide a quote.





Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

MS Model Ship Kits
