Je mets 4 étoiles pour la beauté et la qualité de ce modèle.
Par contre le livre d'explications mérite juste 2 étoiles. Les photos pour le montage des voiles sont trop petites et manquent de clarté. Quelques photos de plus en gros plan aideraient beaucoup. J'ai fini mon modèle avec des voiles fixes sans les cordages. Sacrilège.

Para ejecutar pagina 41, fig.8 y página 43, fig. 5. hay que volver a desmontar las piezas superiores.. Estas piezas deberían ponerse justo después de meter la cuerda
Terrible instruction book. I have had to guess at installation of the thread. Page 41, picture 4 shows the thread gobup the mast. Picture 5 show it coming down, but there is no indication of where it attaches on the upper mast.

Excelente producto y en verdad es nivel avanzado, algunas piezas son difíciles de desprender pero desde ahí se ve el nivel de dificultad, yo he roto, las piezas 108, 109, y 110 por aplicar fuerza excesiva, pero es un gran modelo

Hi Gonzalo Federico,
Thank you for your feedback.
Please fill out the form for spare and replacement parts on our website - https://ugearsmodels.com/request-for-additional-parts.html. We will send the parts at our expense. We are a Ukrainian company, and because of the russian attack on our country it takes us more time than usualy to prepare and ship the parts. We will email you with the tracking number of your parcel as soon as it is shipped. Hope for your understanding.
Best regards,

Muy buen trabajo de ingeniería, algunas piezas ocupan mucha destreza para colocarlas ya que las puedes llegar a romper, un gran reto, este es el tercer modelo que ensamblo y estoy muy contento con el resultado, sería bueno que se incluyeran algunas piezas de repuesto por algún accidente a la hora de ensamblar.
Gran trabajo del equipo de Ugears, gracias.
I got this model 2 years ago as a present. Sadly the toothpicks were considerably too thick to fit into the predrilled holes. I had to grind every single toothpick off to make it thinner. They were also too strong to be cut by a cardboard cutter so I had to buy a wood saw. Considering the high number of required toothpicks, the building became more and more annoying cause it mainly consists of preparing the toothpicks for me. It was also frustrating when they broke during preparing.
I stoped building the, per se beautiful, model, when I realized that two elements with each 5 toothpicks should be rotatable (the 2 winches at the sides). Since I grinded them off only until they fit barely into the holes, the winches absolutely not moveable in my model.
So sad, I really was enthusiastic when I first saw the model but was left frustrated and with an unfinished model. The included toothpicks are just not suitable for the drilled holes.

I got this model for my birthday and i had a lot of fun building it. I am now looking for some other models to build. I think its a really good birthdaypresent.
:)
Looking for something other than trains, trucks and cars. I have done the research vessel and thought I would have a go at this. Firstly, this is a beautiful model with sleek flowing lines. Much more care must be taken as the model is not as robust as others, just take your time. The build is advanced and the rigging a bit tricky. The winding parts are a bit of a gimmick, especially the anchor. Still, worth 5 stars.
The toothpick diameters are too small for the pre-drilled holes causing parts to fall apart. The rudder rubber band provides too much tension for the rudder to work properly. The rudder lines make a sharp right angle under the wheel housing causing it to cut into the soft wood holes. Needs a pully.

This is an amazing build, I helped my 11 year old son and it has been a brilliant lockdown project.
The thought that has gone into this kit, with all of the moving parts is superb.

Stay safe and have a nice day!
Loved this project, so much fun, turned out beautifully. The only thing I had trouble with was not where the ropes go but what they do.

Hi,
thank you for sharing your experience. We have prepared the dedicated series of videos "How to install rigging on the Trimaran Merihobus" on the Ugears Youtube-channel. They will be helpful during the assembly. Here is the link

It is beautiful but I had a hard time to make sure pieces were smooth enough to turn and still have a hard time to understand where some of the roping goes. But an imagination to put this together. Lots of fun
Administrator
Dear Isabelle,
thank you for your feedback. We prepared a visulization of the installation of the roping. You can find it on Ugears Youtube-channel.
