Mamoli models
Kits of non-floating Mamoli ship models are very popular, thanks to a large selection of models with many elements at an attractive price. The parts of the kit are cut using modern laser technology, which ensures that the individual parts fit perfectly. All accessories in the kit are made of wood and metal and are largely pre-machined.
Anyone who aspires to own a hand-built boat must be prepared to work in the evenings for many weeks or months. It means having some skill and knowledge of leveraging different materials, adhesives, paints and varnishes. The kit mainly contains basic building material, building materials and a number of small or miniature parts and decorations. However, this job will give you an insight into the secrets of shipbuilding, the history of real ships, and can often lead to a community of people who share the same passion for model ship building.
Construction difficulty
Advanced ship models require previous experience with building models and mastered techniques of individual technological steps, such as gluing, bending, hemming of sails, etc. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the drawing documentation, individual steps and plan the entire procedure. It is necessary to study any details and it is necessary to take into account that the construction requires a certain degree of creativity and independence, because the instructions do not have to deal with the production of every detail.
The models are extensive and detailed, take a long time to complete and require a lot of finishing work on the parts.
