CubicFun Flying Dutchman 3D Pirate Ship Puzzle with Green LEDs, 360 Pieces | 360-Piece Flying Dutchman Pirate Ship with Green LED Display-Ready 3D PuzzleS for Adults, Home Decor Gifts Christmas

My 11 yr old grandson had a blast with this build. I had to do very little on this project. Really all I did was wire the led lights and maybe a few things he had a little trouble with but he was able to assemble it himself and then finished produce is actually really cool. This is a great project to do with you children and they’ll be so proud when it’s done! Awesome family project!

I've done some book nooks, wooden puzzles, and the Cubicfun steamship puzzle. The quality of these Cubicfun puzzles is phenomenal, with sturdy board and construction that isn't flimsy at all when put together. This is my second Cubicfun one, and the results are incredible. Lots of detail, but simple instructions to follow. The little tool they give you to help punch out the items is the best to use for most things. I also had some fine tweezers, a file, and an exacto knife to help when the pieces just wouldn't punch out. The paper for the sails is not particularly delicate. Just take your time. I did this one in about 10-15 hours (I'm slow) and listened to audiobooks. Very relaxing. Everything fits pretty well, although some of the rigging and masts had to be adjusted multiple times to get taut. The LEDs were easier to install than I thought they'd be, and look phenomenal in both light and dark. Only issue is that the side board "sticker" pieces don't always stay on well, but it's not a big deal, and I might add some glue to those. But you DO NOT need glue for anything, and things will fit together better as you complete the ship, so don't worry if it seems not quite perfect as you're going along. If you're having difficulty putting a part in, pinch it a little bit and it helps a lot. Overall, I'd highly recommend this model.

Absolutely awesome gift for my 10 year old. She spent 3 full days on this over a Christmas break and it came out fantastic. This is a very detailed kit that is worth the price.

This was really fun to build but had I known it was cardboard I would have never have purchased, don’t get me wrong me and my kids had fun but the fact that it’s cardboard made it stressful to connect the pieces together if you looking for a build make sure it’s not a cardboard material also given the material some pieces look like they are not flushed so there a some gaps which bothers me a bit but still fun

Fantastic value and very attractive end result. However, the thin foamcore does make the build very challenging, especially when leverage is limited in inserting tabs. In particular, the complex rigging and difficult angles resulted in many bent pieces of "rope" and "netting." Although glue is technically not needed, some of the sticker pieces needed me to use a glue gun (super glue would likely work too). Not sure if my design differed, but the battery comparment and switch in the stand were relatively easy to access. It's also a great platform to kitbash and customize. I'm not sure, but I think the scale is about 1:100. I picked this up to try to incorporate in TTRPG. I included some pictures of 25 to 32 mm minitaures. It's a bit small, especially compared with the cannons and stairs. But it still works, or would be perfect for halfling or gnome sized ship. I'm likely going to remove the masts, spars and rigging for ease of play. Or refit the masts for magnets. Some tips: For poor leverage situations, squeezing the tabs before trying to insert was helpful. The numbers on the parts are usually on the bottom or hidden when put together. An exacto knife or a small precison screwdriver helps. It's very time consuming, but using a dark marker to color the exposed edges can improve the appearance. If you have time, replace the rigging ropes with black thread or twine.

This was an amazing puzzle to put together. Some of the pieces did not want to fold well or fit into the proper slots. The instructions could have been better, especially as you move through the puzzle. It was difficult to know exactly where the lines were pointing. With the stand, it's about 18-19 inches tall. This would make a great gift for anyone who is into 3D puzzles. All the pieces were on the appropriate sheets. It is well worth the price. With the light kit, this thing looks spooky in low light.

I want to start by saying this is the first time I’ve ever put together something like this. I think a lot of people getting this amazing ship have already bought a cubicfun ship or puzzle before and know what to expect. Even so I found this a blast to put together. So much so that I was having trouble pausing to eat or do anything else really because I didn’t want to stop until the ship was done! My fiancé put the bones of the ship together and then we had dinner and he wanted to do something else so I finished the rest of the ship by myself. The whole time I was thinking how awesome of a gift this would be for someone. Seriously great gift idea! The instructions are all picture instructions and being a visual person I found that very awesome. As some reviewers mentioned I did find that using glue in a few places was helpful. I just had Elmers glue on hand so I used that and I can’t see where I used the glue. However I recommend waiting a bit before using the glue. Some parts don’t get sturdy until a few steps later where they get locked in place by other pieces. What comes to mind is the plank walkway you put in front of the cannons. Mine wouldn’t stay put very well until the railing was attached and then it didn’t need glue. The Cubicfun logo you use as a hole punch is cool. Later on I found that a toothpick can work even better for punching out small holes. I found everything to pop out of the boards really well but I was careful not to rip anything. The good news is since you work on the internal parts of the ship first if you mess up a little in the beginning it won’t be noticeable. Putting this ship together kinda gets progressively harder and more tedious but it’s fun especially seeing it come to life right before your eyes. The LEDs as others have mentioned really make it something else. Finally, I’ll share why I bought this. I’m having a pirate wedding in October this year! I saw this and thought it would make a great table decoration! It sure does me hearties! So I’m buying at least one other ship now haha. Well worth the time it takes to put together and lastly I want to give a shout-out to the graphic designer(s) who did the artwork on this thing. It’s gorgeously detailed with barnacles and a skeleton inside a gibbot on deck!

Fun, large, some complexity and took way longer than suggested on Amazon page. Still a great model for the money and worth the result. Great Fun Project I Didn't Share With Grandkids!!

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.

Molto bello anche se un pochino delicato, ma merita molto. Davvero soddisfatto, 8 ore di divertimento

Echt mega verrast over de bouwkwaliteit! Alles zit goed stevig en doordacht in elkaar. Schip is groot en mooi. Bereid je voor op flink wat uren werk maar met de duidelijke instructie komt dat helemaal goed. Dit was de eerste keer voor mij om zo iets te maken en het ging me best goed af.

Jestem bardzo pozytywnie zaskoczony jakością wykonania, dbałością o szczegóły i dopasowaniem elementów. Super rzecz i efekt końcowy. Fajna zabawa za niewielkie pieniądze.

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.
