CZYY DND Ship Miniature, 3-Level Wooden Naval Battle Terrain Map

Painted this and added wind a Treant so it can be a living ship. Absolutely love it.

I definitely recommend this for an addition to anyone's table. I am running a seafaring campaign, and this is light, well-cut, and durable for the weight and price point. The assembly was a little tougher than I anticipated, but nothing that the average amateur can't handle. I confess I did break one piece trying to assemble, but it was easily fixed with a few drops of wood glue, and it's nearly impossible to see where it broke. Good stuff!

It’s great whilst playing but setting it up is difficult.

This boat is awesome! I've gotten so many compliments on it from strangers when using it for dnd in gaming spaces. The boat has great details on the floors of the different levels, showing what each room is used for. It's a lot of fun to play with, and the boat works well with standard minis. The boat assembly took me about 45 min. The pieces fit together tightly and securely. They aren't too fragile thankfully because I did have to use some force while getting the smaller pieces into place. The pieces are secure enough that glue isn't necessary in my opinion. I'm regularly glad I bought this boat, and I would absolutely recommend it.

We've been using this for over a year now and it's very sturdy. It was a bit of a chore to assemble but it looks really cool and it easy to move the figures in it. We get many compliments on it. It is an excellent value!

So, obviously I'm a gamer. We're playing Warhammer Fantasy Role-play 2nd Edition. The party/players wanted to go all 'nautical' and explore the world at large. Ok... and oh crap! Now I need ship models/minis/figs at 28mm. So I perused Amazon and found this company. They have different ship layouts, in 3-D, with all the stuff you'd expect on a ship marked/etched on the wooden ship templates. Awesome, right? So I bought this ship, a galleon. Though a little tedious, it wasn't really that difficult to assemble (about an hour... with beer). It looked good, and would definitely serve the purpose; but it was basically a skeleton of a ship (which irked me). So I decided to 'fix' it. I added the masts (wooden dowels @ 1/2", 3/8 " and yard-arms @ 1/4 "). It's literally marked on the 'printed', laser cut wood where they go. This cost me about $2 in material. Then I bought some canvas cloth for sails (actually 'ticking' cloth... a yard of it and I used like 1/8th of it... but had to buy at least a yard). So add about $6. Add another $1 for upholstery thread to use for some light 'rigging', about $6 in glue (Elmer's clear and super glue gel), and BAM! Kit-bashed the hell out of it! One additional thing... modeling clay (like $5) used to stabilize certain aspects (masts) before gluing. The point: For about $16, I made (or at least I think I made) this model much more than originally offered. I spent $39 on this, so after prime account, tax, etc... maybe 40-something. Add $16 for a total of $56, and now it's a much better & useful game/scenario piece. It actually looks like a friggin' ship! So take note (manufacturer). At least include the masts and yard-arms (cross beams) in your build kit. Note: The crow's nest was made from a Dixie cup, cut down in height and painted brown with some leftover spray paint. I poked a hole in the bottom and made 4 slits/flanges that I fit onto the main mast and then super-glued. Easy-peasy and works well. Assessment: This model is functional as is, but if you really want to bring it to life and are willing to put some time (4-6 hours) and additional $ into the build, you can really make something spectacular. So why didn't the manufacturer do it in the first place... at least some things. That's why 4 stars. That's why I included in the above pics of the model I got (Amazon) that D&D/Wizards of the 'Screws Consumers' has put out. Honestly, it's friggin' awesome! It's also pricey ($150). It has the masts, arms, and sails... is fully formed, has moveable parts (doors, rudder, cannon doors), is fully formed/enclosed, and has removable/stand alone decks. However, it's cumbersome because of this. Alternatively, this wooden cut-out model allows for easy access to all decks, but looks kinda cheesy/cheap unless you 'modify' it. I gave my take on modification(s) if that helps. I hope it inspires your own creativity if you want to make this wooden deck model something more... what it should have been from the get go (IMO). Would I buy again? Maybe... and I did (Viking ship) which I 'fixed' as well with mast, sails, rigging, and even shields along the hull (no pic). Note: I did minimum rigging so that accessibility for figs was still an easy option. Beyond that, I simply 'googled' sailing ships/galleons to get ideas/understanding of where the main rigging went. Figs/minis depicted are from Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy... Blood & Plunder 28mm game. Cannon figs from Ebay (pippd & others). Hope this helps or perhaps inspires. Not a bad model for the price... but could be more. Enjoy & Game On!
