They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.
This Friesland model has distinctive two tone colors wood on the hull. It also features plank on frame, three decks, and two rows of ferocious cannons on each side of the ship.
