Three masts, thirteen sails, and a whole evening spent at sea.
A three-master inspired by the great sailing ships of exploration: black and gold sails, thirteen canvas panels and a golden seahorse on the stern. It's the largest model ship in our catalog, and it goes together without a single drop of glue.
A 603-piece wooden model ship kit that snaps together
The 603 laser-cut plywood pieces join with tabs and slots: each piece locks into the one before it, no glue. The illustrated instructions take you step by step, from the hull to the masts, then the sails. Once finished, the ship is 47 cm long and 39 cm tall: a real display piece.
Who's it for? Builders who have already finished a kit and want a long project to spread over several evenings. A gift that impresses any lover of ships or maritime history.
Assembled dimensions: 47 cm long, 18 cm wide, 39 cm tall.

Expédier le "Seahorse", un excellent produit
J'ai acheté et assemblé le navire "Seepferdchen" début janvier 2026. Il s'est avéré que c'était un excellent navire. Le navire est d'une qualité de fabrication exceptionnelle, toutes les pièces s'assemblent parfaitement. Il est très utile de lubrifier le bâton de cire pour les "nez" et les trous percés, ainsi vous pouvez travailler avec les pièces de manière optimale. Il faut une main ferme et une attitude calme lors du traitement.
Il convient de mentionner les nombreuses décorations sur de si petites pièces, les composants en bois plaqués or, les magnifiques voiles en tissu, et les canons mobiles au design ingénieux avec leurs ailettes mobiles.
C'est dommage qu'il n'y ait plus de ces navires Rokr.
J'achèterais des modèles à tout moment.
magnifique et très bien conçu, bonne expérience
je recommande
Excellent kit. Très bien conçu. C'était amusant. La fonction des ouvertures du canon au-dessus du bateau de sauvetage est de premier ordre.
Livraison très rapide, kit au top, ça promet une belle activité hivernale.
C'était pour un cadeau et cela a été un grand succès. Le processus d'assemblage prend un certain temps, mais je pense que cela en vaudra la peine. Le prix a également été assez abordable comparé à ce que ces modèles coûtent habituellement.
Quelque chose de magnifique que je recommande à tout le monde, c'est tout simplement splendide et les pièces s'ajustent parfaitement.
Superbe construction, beaucoup de détails et une superbe expédition. Le seul bémol, c'est l'avant de l'arc du navire qui est en papier et ne rend pas aussi bien que le reste de la construction.
excellent modèle. Très bonnes instructions, c'est très agréable à assembler. C'est encore plus beau en réalité. tout s'agence parfaitement.
Je le recommande.
Franchement cool! Un plaisir à monter et la maquette est superbe! Bon pas évident pour les petites pièces lors ce que l’on a de grosses mains , mais ça se fait bien ! Je recommande
Le kit de modèle de bateau en bois est vraiment très beau, je l'aime beaucoup et j'ai hâte de l'assembler car je suis sûr que le résultat sera excellent. Tout à fait conforme à la description et aux photos. 😍☺️🤩
Bon matériel. Le passage des cordes de voile est un peu compliqué. Mais agréable, amusant et de bonne qualité. Bien fini.
Super, probablement la meilleure chose à assembler. Rapport qualité-prix. Je le recommande.
Je suis encore en train de monter le navire. Jusqu'à présent, c'est vraiment amusant.
