Wooden Model Ships - How Hard is it to build? Wooden model ships have been in existence for a long time. Even during the times of the Ancient Egyptians, their ship-builders made wooden models which were scaled down models of the real ships. Discovering these ships from those times amply proves that model sailing ship building with sailing ship model kits was also a hobby since time immemorial. If you are interested in wooden model ship building, rest assured that there is no more satisfying hobby. There are two methods to build a wooden model ship. One is to build them by using plans and the other is to buy a kit. There are many kinds of wooden model ships you can build. You could build the easy sail boat to a slightly more difficult yacht.
