My carnival is outgrowing my little table! This was a challenging (in all the right ways) build and the result is fantastic. Can't wait to show my granddaughter.

Instructions were good, fit was fantastic, materials quality great. I think I got 8-10 hours in it but I'm slow and white edging takes 3 stinking coats.

I didn't get as much coloring as I usually do, the preprinted designs were to nice to risk covering up.

Glad to participate in the event!

Not to much time spent on it, just 145 (tiny) pieces.

Not bad quality but very thin wood, so a lot of breaks with my ancient sausage fingers involved. Doesn't matter, I've got glue and binder clips for clamps and I know how to us them.

As usual I spent more time coloring than building but that's what makes this kind of model for me. I like the final result. You can tell because the thread ropes are there even thou I have to tie them with tweezers and it it takes many tries to make it happen. Totally could have left them off and no-one would be the wiser.

I also included a projected image of the eventual Caribbean deployment for this cruise ship, which I'm guessing will go very well.

The monocle, great build, very well engineered, telescopes and actual works, although I'd go with something else for birdwatching.

One of my favorite builds and displays. Went together without a hitch until the final piece. Much thicker forms than most ROKR kits, did not use a drop of glue.

I did try to glue the final piece, a little u shaped bracket that holds the scope to the stand. I put it in backwards and broke it trying to get it back out. I tried gluing but it just didn't hold. I tried manufacturing something from scrap but it was beyond my skill level and the scope slumped to one side or the other. So I went on and ordered a replacement - only 5$ for shipping - and it came today.

I am finally able to call this one complete!
