Comment: The model came in a cardboard box that contained the model in the wooden protective shroud. It was sturdy enought that it took me 30 minutes just to get the model out . The detail and quality of the model is better then I expected. I am totally satisfied with the product and company. I would not hesitate to buy again from this source.

Very impressive

Comment: When this ship model first arrived the box took some damage. A few pretty deep gashes. I could see inside past the foam. I was like Great, now this 500 dollar model is going to be damaged and it's probably going to be hell trying to return it.
But I opened the box and to my surprise they shipped it in a sturdy wooden cage with foam padding between the cage and the model so keep it from getting damaged. Thank you modern handcrafts.

Best Quality For Your Money That You Can Find
Reviewed by: Casey , Date: 9/14/2022 , Source: Amazon
Comment: You can't go wrong with the this ship for its craftsmanship. It was packaged very securely and arrived quickly. The "medium" size is still very large and is better for apartments or anyone without a whole dedicated space for it, I've seen the large 37" and it starts presenting displaying challenges being that big. For ~$600 absolutely no complaints on my end.
