Re: Longboat 1750
Dear Dr. Czytko,
The Armed Longboat arrived safe and sound due to the excellent packing and transport box.The unpacking instructions were very clear and made unboxing fun. Everything went very smoothly and it was great working with your team. The model is exquisite work, far more than I expected.
Thank you,

Hallo Herr Czytko,
… das Schiff und ich sind gut angekommen. Es sieht wundervoll aus. Es ist nicht zu überdimensioniert, aber dennoch ein Anziehungspunkt im Raum. Die Details sind einzigartig und man entdeckt jedes Mal aufs Neue etwas anderes. Herzlichen Dank.
Viele Grüße

Re: Baghla of Oman
Dear Michael,
I received the ship today after clearing it through the customs inspection myself. It seems that the model has arrived in perfect shape, due to the exceptional packing work done by you!
I want to thank you once again for discovering and sharing with me such a unique and meaningful work of art. As I told you before, this is the type of vessel that was sailed by my ancestors for trade, and I find myself mesmerized while observing the details of the ship and imagining what a life they must have led. In about two weeks time I will have the pleasure of presenting this as a gift to my wife upon her graduation from INSEAD’s MBA program. (She is soon to enter the business of international trade, much like her ancestors before her.) I enclosed a photo below of the unpacked model in my home. Many thanks for your diligence and thoughtfulness throughout this process. I do hope that I will have the pleasure of meeting you in the future.
All my best,

Hallo Herr Dr. Czytko,
… der Transport mit Verzögerung hat gut geklappt und die Elisabeth ist dank ausgezeichneter Verpackung ohne Schäden angekommen. Sie ist sehr schön und detailreich gearbeitet, was schon auf der Website zu erkennen war. Dennoch ist das Modell in natura noch einmal eine Steigerung. … Ihnen nochmals herzlichen Dank für den ausgezeichneten Service, frohe Ostern!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen von der Förde

Re.: HMS Agamemnon
Hi Michael,
The ship finally arrived yesterday. I took a glance inside the box and took the attached photo. …. A friend helped me this evening to transfer the ship out of the box and into my home. Very impressive model!

Re: Polar expedition ship Scotia
Dear Dr. Czytko,
Scotia
arrived today in perfect shape. … Very pleased with model. It met
all expectations. It has been so much fun to get to know you and to
work together. … You can’t believe how much fun we all had opening
the box.

Re: Scandinavian Yacht 1840
Hi Michael,
All is good and the model is beautiful ! … unpacking the box was really easy and straightforward.
Happiness and prosper in the New 2022 Year !
P.S. I noticed in your shipping instructions you quoted John LeCarre. 🙂 My girlfriend and I like his work very much. “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” ; “The Perfect Spy” are my favorites (imho they don’t even belong to that fuzzy and often cheap genre called “Spy Novel” and rather are great studies on human’s psychology and character).

Re: Dutch Statenjacht
Hello Michael,
Thanks for the instructions. I safely removed the model from the box and mounted it in my display cabinet. A very beautiful ship, many thanks to Mr. Ferlemann. I’m very pleased with the high quality of the jacht.
Hope you are enjoying your time off with family and friends!

Re: HMS Endeavour
Good afternoon M Czytko,
Endeavour did arrive on time. I could not resist to open the box and I put it in a safe place I am sure my grandchildren will not visit.
I join you a photo of the model.
Hope you are well and will have a happy Christmas in spite of omicron (virus)

Lieber Herr Czytko,
Der Schoner “Hay” ist auf dem Fischland wohlbehalten angekommen, nachdem er Deutschland halb “durchschwommen” hat. Einen großen Anteil daran hatte Ihre geniale Transportkiste ! Alles ist so, wie ich mir das gedacht und vorgestellt hatte ! Wir wünschen Ihnen und Ihrer Familie nun ein schönes Weihnachtsfest, einen guten Rutsch und für 2022 nur das beste, besonders aber Gesundheit.
Ihr Klaus H. und Familie ut Wustrow, Germany, December 2021.

Lieber Herr Czytko,
Das Modell ist wohlbehalten bei mir eingetroffen, dank Ihrer genialen Transportkiste. Und was die Qualität der Arbeit betrifft: Phantastisch! Ich bin selber Modellbauer und kann dies gut einschätzen. Ganz, ganz toll, ich bin sehr zufrieden. … Ich hoffe, dass ich demnächst wieder einmal nach Norddeutschland fahren kann, gerne möchte ich Sie dann besuchen kommen und mir Ihre Ausstellung anschauen.
Herzliche Grüsse …

Re: L’Ambitieux
Bonjour M Czytko,
Je suis entièrement satisfait de mon achat. Quel maquette magnifique ! Comment le modéliste a t’il pu réaliser un tel navire, aussi détaillé, à une échelle aussi réduite (1/96) ? C’est un travail de haute précision et parfaitement réalisé à tout point de vue. Je recommande entièrement votre site.
A très bientôt Michel D., Valenciennes, France, November 2021
