I got this from Ages of Sail. Great service, by the way. Ordered the ship and had it in a week, during Christmas shipping time. I sent them some emails with kit questions and received very prompt responses. I chose this because it is something a bit different and my CFO (wife) liked it, which helped convince her that the price is not do bad. This is a large, heavy box. Everything came well packed and packaged to minimized damage. The build diagrams are large, clear and well organized. There are, for all purpose, no written instructions. The only written page contains directions such as use wood glue for wood-to-wood joints and super glue for all others. The quality of the wood is top notch. All pipes/tubes, such as the smoke stack, are different metals. The prop shaft is brass, for example. There is very little plastic/plexiglass in the kit. Almost everything is white metal with very little flash. Below are some pictures. I will update as work progresses. This looks like a fun build and an interesting subject from a manufacturer that I have not seen previously.

Mariefred The coal-fired steamship Mariefred was built in 1903 for the trade-Enhörna Stockholm-Mariefred. She has sailed under the same name and with the same steam engine ever since. The vessel has been owned by the same shipping company, Gripsholms-Mariefred Ångfartygs AB since 1905. All this makes Mariefred one of the worldwide unique ships and an indispensable part of Sweden's cultural heritage! Built at South wharf in Stockholm in 1903. Length 32.84 m, width 6.33 m. Coal-fired steam boiler. Speed 10 knots. 230 passengers.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
