Maquette de bateau Callaghan

I love it ! It’s beautiful and very detailed

Very nicely done. For the price it is outstanding.

I have bought five ship models from Wayfair, three of this size including HMS Victory, Royal Louis and St.Espirit. All are outstanding models and easy to recommend for those interested. As other reviewer has noted there were a few minor items on various models but very minor and easily taken care of and Modern Handcrafter was quick to respond to any issues. What I like about this model is the sails are not furled. When the sunlight hits the sails it always give me pleasure to view this model of the bygone era of sail.

Excellent model for the price, but a couple of things: 1. the sales are not well unfurled the ri8gging is too tight on some corners an easy fix, but quality control needs a bit of attention. 2. There is one cannon missing. 3. The aft jib was stuck down in the aft gangway and was difficult to get into proper position. A little more attention to specifications would make this a 5 star item. As it is, these are minor details that are fixable with a little string, which would be nice if it was included, as getting the proper color match may be difficult. There is so much detail, it must take years to perfect the construction of these models. I'm tempted to buy another one! :)

This is my second purchase of a large wooden ship and as with the first purchase, it makes a great addition to our nautical-themed family room. We placed it on our fireplace mantel under track lighting and it looks great and receives many compliments. Extremely pleased with this model ship.
