I've assembled two mayflowers and at least 2 paper villages by AG Smith. The ships made nice table decorations for thanksgiving. They were satisfying to build but not that easy. It took about a week in one hour sessions. I found that a glue stick was the best assembly adhesive. Depending on the dwelling/ship there may be internal cutting required necessatating a razior blade or X-acto knife. I would like to see a companion set to the Mayflower in the form of Plymouth Plantation-pilgrim houses, indian longhouses, plymouth rock etc... I'd also like to see this ship kit in a waterline model vice the full hull.

Mayflower Model - Challenging & Fun Even for Kids
21 May 2002
After reading reviews talking about the difficulty of putting together this paper model, I nearly didn't order it. The ship requires a lot of precise cutting, some of it quite small and detailed, and I wasn't ready to trust even my 14-year-old with an Exacto blade. But I needed something to help my kids get a concrete grasp of the Mayflower and other ships of its day, so I went ahead. After all, I figured, it's not expensive, and even if the kids don't finish it, they'll at least have learned some things.
They finished it. Not a professional job, mind you, but much better than I expected, all the way down (up?) to the incredibly detailed rigging and sails. The printing and color are beautiful and detailed. You'll have to ask someone more knowledgeable about ships how accurate the model is, but it more than achieved its purpose for our family.
The other day, while visiting a ship museum, our 13-year-old came across a model of the Santa Maria by the same publisher and asked if we could purchase it. I guess we know HER opinion.
Most impressive!
