Cinquième maquette, et toujours Satisfait du produit. Plan facile à suivre, éléments solides, un résultat parfait.
You can locate replicas of the unique tools that Jacques-Yves Cousteau utilized during his investigation on the yacht.
Before being transformed by renowned oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, this ship was merely a minesweeper.
Cousteau modified the vessel into the fabled Calypso by adding the Helicopter Padan, an underwater observation chamber, scientific tools, mini-submarines, underwater scooters, and more.
We made an effort to accurately replicate the small elements of Calipso when creating our model of the research yacht
Almost all specialized equipment can be moved, including rotating-propeller helicopters, miniature submarines that are lowered using a winch, and anchors that are raised using a "chain."
Additionally, the model contains a special hand mechanism that propels the boat. It can go 3–4 meters on a level surface, thanks to the wheels.
One of the most well-known ships in the world is the Calypso.
A unique wooden 3D model from WoodTrick to add to your collection is the Ocean Exploration Yacht. All Jacques-Yves Cousteau's admirers and those who enjoy yachting and marine exploration will enjoy this model. If you follow the directions strictly, assembling it won't be challenging.
You don't need to be concerned about the environment being harmed because all of the materials we use to make the model are safe. Rubber bands, toothpicks, and wooden pieces make up this 3-D wooden model.
Our model now has several qualities with a nautical theme. For instance, because Calypso is a research vessel, you can view particular research equipment on board. Many of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's ship's instruments were his creations, and they have always been there.
The finished model will look great on your table or shelf and make a wonderful gift for puzzle enthusiasts!

Mooie bouwdoos, maar motor niet sterk genoeg. Is leuk om te bouwen. Bennog niet helemaal klaar.
Super model

Fantástico 🤩
Fantastic ship model, lots of moving parts to play with, had fun. Review on the Incredible Gears channel.
I enjoy doing that it was different but it’s pretty cool looking
The ship was fun to build however the lines indicating where pieces should go were not very clear at times. It could just be my eyes. I made the model stationary. Take care.

Tout est très bien
No lo he recibido. La verdad la enpresa de transporte lo ha devuelto al remitente por no tener una factura de compra. Ruego enviar factura de compra a ups y al cliente (yo) para poder tramitar la documentación aduanera. Cuando reciba el producto cambiaré mi opinión.
trés bon produit j'ai fini ce matin problème j'ai monté quelque chose à l'anvers il ne marche pas tant pis trés beau quand même
super
The model looks reasonable and assembly is relatively easy however my main criticism is the elastic band powered drive which only moves the model about 1 meter before the band is run down. It also means that because the elastic bands are wound up tight the model jumps initially then almost instantly slows to a stop. Why have you guys not used a battery powered electric motor instead of elastic bands very backward technology.
Perfect fit..excellent quality..

cutting could be better, otherwise like it
My score is based on the fact I haven’t started it yet. It certainly looks good as all the kids do.

Great service and good items. A joy to build them will be buying more.
Parts hard to get wood but good model
Super Modell und sehr stabil beim zusammen bauen. Woodtrick ist in meinen Augen der beste Hersteller von 3 D Holzpuzzle. Macht weiter so ♡ Grüße aus Beelen
Store owner replied: Hello Burkhard! Thanks so much for your feedback. We are glad that you like our models so much :) Have a wonderful day, sir!
this is my third or forth model from these people and i am still impressed by the non use of glus, no trimming needed and everything fits perfectly
The engine was difficult to complete. 2 of the cylinder heat pieces cracked just pushing it into the cylinder shaft. Wish you supplied extras. I was able to glue the cylinder head pieces together and it took a fair amount of time to sand them so the would fit.
Store owner replied: Hello Paula! Thank you for your feedback and for choosing us! We deeply appreciate it. We will take your notes into consideration. Have a wonderful day! Best wishes, WoodTrick Team
This is a great build with a lot of pieces. Very detailed. However it would not run when the gears with the engine are too small and would not let it run at all. Expensive for just a shelf ornament.
Store owner replied: Hello, Gary! Thank you for your feedback. Please contact us at this email info@woodtrick.com and describe the issue in detail. We will make all our efforts to tackle it shortly. Best wishes, WoodTrick
This was gift for my husband he loves your product. He finds them the sturdiest of all the models out on the market. It looked wonderful.
A great build. Would not recommend it for the novice builder. Many intricate details which need to be followed precisely. It looks fantastic.
