LED Caribbean Flying Dutchman

It is incredibly fiddly but well worth it! It is quite big for the price as well and looks great on my shelves. It took me about 5 hours to put together. The instructions were clear and all pieces numbered, so no problems there. Some flexible pieces felt as though they might tear as I was trying to join them together in places, although I managed to make it without damaging any. Really pleased with this and will be buying more in the range!

Very impressed. It's huge. It glows in the dark. Pieces were easy to remove from the boards - much easier on my hands compared to the wooden models. Build was easy but care is needed because it is made from a plastic coated cardboard type material which is easy to bend - had to use glue on two places because I was not careful enough and the joint broke. Instructions were good but could have been even better - noticed two parts not properly mentioned but they were obvious. Hours of fun making it - good value for money. I would definitely buy others simply for the activity (its a very stress relieving and rewarding exercise) but am not that keen on sailing ships. I am also not sure we have the space to put the finished beasts. The attention to detail is amazing. Highly recommended.

This is fantastic model and the detailing is superb throughout. I love the look of the Flying Dutchman and the LEDs bring it to light. All the additional elements that build up as you go such as the ghost faces on the portholes, the extra panelling and so on, really add depth to the model and makes you think they could have just stopped there with some of the details, only to find they keep adding more. What's especially good is that no two components are exactly the same - different graphic detailing on everything means they didn't just copy/paste from one side to the other. Instructions are easy to follow and the build was a lot of fun - just being cardboard, take your time! Some parts were tricky to slot together because if you don't have something correctly lined up earlier, then later when you need to attach an adjoining piece you could find it won't reach. Some tips - pinch the ends of the tabs before insertion so they go in easier At the end, many of the wasted punched out pieces I was able to use to fill in gaps were pieces didn't quite go flush together and where light from the LEDs bled through. Those little centimetre long panel pieces that you'd throw away were excellent for glueing into the gaps and blocking up the bleed in many places.

Nice looking model. Had fun, but not in 4 hours. It DOES NOT take anywhere near 4 hours to complete, people who say they did, did not, trust me. I put good time, care and patience and it took me around 10 hours fully to complete, which took me over 2 days to have a brake. A few points to note. A few parts bent and almost broke. The first was when you have to add the lower hexagon shaped cover for the middle mast, I had to dissemble the full mast and netting to put on the cover, because it only states on the last page, when to add the cover, after you already assembled the mast. I feel this needs changing. Second almost broke area , and is bent currently until I figure out why, is the two rope parts that go from mast 1 to two to strengthen the masts. These are added near the end and I struggled a little while trying to get the ropes to keep attached to the areas marked, but the ropes ended up bending because the masts where already in position strongly and they just bent out of place. A solution would be to have the middle rope abit smaller or how best attach the ropes without having the strain of two built masts resisting with each rope, thus forcing them to bend. Last problem was the sails. They kept popping out of position alot when trying to attach them to the mast. Again this is just resistance from the sail having to bend slightly. The lower part doesn't seem to fit under the U shaped part you add to the back of the mast to the sail, in order to secure it. The paper it's made from is good, just needs a better way to allow the U shaped part to attach without forcing the paper out of position if it can't go under the U shape to securely attach. Overall a nice looking ship, will look out for others if made available. Happy model building!

I absolutely love doing these! PLEASE RELEASE MORE!! First, I made the Flying Dutchman. I loved this ship in the movies, so it was a no brainier. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed making it, and how cool it looks when complete. This promoted me to quickly purchase and build the red Queen Anne’s Revenge. This one was also really fun to build, and so much detail! I love the rear window and the gold detailing that goes on. I had to finish the set. So I have just today completed the black Queen Anne’s Revenge (The Black Pearl). Difficulty wise:Queen Anne’s Revenge was definitely the easiest one to complete, so a good starting point if you want to do them all. This was followed by the Flying Dutchman as the sort of middle ground. The front mouth was quite tricky at times. Oddly, the most difficult of them all was the black variation of the Queen Anne’s Revenge aka, Black Pearl. There is a lot of really tricky parts in this, small pieces and the sails/masts are a lot harder to get together and keep together when attaching to the main ship. Like other reviews, I was a little disappointed that the cannons on this one are also card, unlike the plastic ones in the other ships. But overall, I highly recommend anyone to give these all a go. I had great fun and I think I’ll carry on and do some others from the range. *Please do Silent Mary from Pirates Of The Caribbean!! Edit (again) I have just completed the San Felipe. This was another really enjoyable one to do. The colours on this one are amazing, and it really does stand out. The Mary Rose would be a great release too!

I loved it, was amazed, and got hooked on this new hobby of puzzle-type models. I start by saying that the size is considerable, almost 1 meter long. Materialally, it is luxurious, firm but manageable cardboard to make all kinds of curves and shapes, giving it a very realistic appearance even though it looks like a puzzle. The details are incredible, taking care of the slightest gap so that everything that ends up in sight is interesting. The assembly took me about 6 hours, and of course I did it in one go because I was super hooked. It is not very complicated but you have to go with a firm step since there are many very small parts that can be easily damaged if you do not treat it with care, for this I recommend using a punch for the smallest parts and thus not bending them when having to cut the parts leftovers. The instructions are very well written and illustrated, and if you have any questions, also with the illustrations and small guides on the pieces themselves, you end up solving them easily. The lights are perhaps what can make you waste the most time at first, but as soon as you get the hang of it you realize that it is very easy to follow the lines on the pieces. The stability once assembled is good, there are more sensitive parts but at no time does anything deform, and all this using only the parts, without any glue or anything. In short, a piece of gift, decorative, entertaining and that at night with the lights looks luxurious. Very highly recommended

Wasn't sure at first. Never built a model kit before made of cardboard/foam material. The compliments I got from family & friends, they were genuinely impressed with the quality of the product. Even more impressed with the LED lighting. I cursed it a few times during the build, it takes a kind of finesse & respect for the material. I am very happy with it, find myself keep admiring it with a sense of achievement. A challenge on a different level.

Took about 12 hours to make an absolute pain in the neck.. if you’ve got big hands and fat fingers, you’ve got no chance.. Now it’s up it does look nice, especially with the lights on.. and my son does love it… but if he knocks it over, it will definitely fall apart very flimsy

Yapımı muazzam keyifli ve dikkat istiyor. Lego veya üç boyutlu puzzle yapmayı seven biriyseniz muhakkak bu ürünü de değerlendirin. Tamamlayıp baş köşeye koyduğunuzda evinize çok tatlı bir hava katacaktır.

Es un artículo de primera calidad,su fabricación es de ensambles perfectos y el manual muy práctico y fácil de entender, el resultado es muy satisfactorio, un excelente producto !!

Muy bueno, queda genial terminado. Lo hice con mi familia (4 adultos) y tardamos varias horas en hacerlo. Hay que tener cuidado de no saltarse ningún paso pero ha sido genial construirlo entre todos y el resultado ha sido fantástico. Muy entretenido. En cuanto a la calidad hay que tener en cuenta que es cartón y hay que tratarlo con cariño pero si se tiene cuidado merece la pena. Compraremos alguno más.
