I recently purchased the Matchitecture Mississippi Boat and can safely say that so far it has given me many hours of enjoyment. This is not a "toy" for kids and takes a lot of time and patience to put together. I highly recommend this for all adults who enjoy putting together detailed models. The instructions that come with the kit are perfect and leave no detail of the process out. Each sheet of the instructions is placed under an acetone sheet that is used to glue the pieces together on. The only thing that does not come in this kit is a piece of sandpaper for sanding off rough edges. I hope everyone who purchases this model will enjoy the experience of building their own Mississippi Boat as much as I have!

I bought this boat for my 10 years old son : After I spent a few minutes showing him how to safely cut his little beans to the correct lengh, and how to glue them together... He had NO problem building it !!... He was very meticulous with it and loved it... My other sons are not as patient, so they would work on it for few days in a row, then "abandon" it for a few weeks, then go back on it, etc... but they ALL loved the results of having built their own boat ! This became a "family project" with my 10 years old son "in charge"... Great to unite all your kids around one table and to have some quiet time in your house ! I have put a 3 stars on durability as this is a model to "expose" not to play with... I have put 4 stars on Educational value as this doesn't teach many things... but he certainly teaches to be cautious, meticulous and patient... and a 5 stars for "how much fun is this toy ?" since all of my 4 sons enjoyed it for many hours, and I enjoyed the silence I had in my house while they were working on it ! you can't beat that !!...
