Recommendation: no 4.2 / 5 from 10 reviews

I was really looking forward to building this set, as I am in the offshore technology myself. I really liked the building, and am charmed by the little details of the ship. The ship has the same characteristic look as a lot of the supplier vessels I have seen.

by Richard

This use of multiple SNOT techniques in one simple Creator set, allowing you to review them with each build, is fantastic. This set shows clearly the strengths and limitations of these techniques in redirecting the direction of build.
