It's in The Works

I am an habitue of 'The Works', a chain of discount book, craft, and toy shops, and visit any branch that I come across. Sue and I recently visited the Retail Outlet Centre in the Chatham Maritime area, and as there is a branch of 'The Works' there, I paid it a visit.

The front and back of the box look like this ...

... and the instructions and components look like this:

I probably won't build the models straight from the box but will use the components to build vessels of my own design.
