3D Wooden Flying Dutchman Pirate Ship Puzzle Kits for Adults to Build - Ideal Model for Puzzle Building Enthusiasts

I bought this set as a gift for my nine-year-old son, who is a Lego fanatic and usually finishes sets the same day he gets them. We've been trying to find other types of model kits that can hold his attention the same way, and this one was a totally unexpected win. He sat down and completed 99.9% of it in one day—with no help from us. That’s never happened with non-Lego sets before!We’ve tried several wood model kits in the past, but the vague instructions always frustrated him. This one was different—the directions were clear and easy enough for him to follow on his own, and once he got started, he didn’t want to stop. He never complained about fragile or flimsy pieces, and the set actually feels sturdy, which is a big plus since it wasn’t cheap (around $45).It’s definitely more than I usually spend on a model kit, but the enjoyment he got from it—and the overall quality—made it well worth the price. I’d happily pay the same amount again for another set from this company.He still has to finish the sails, but he had such a blast building it that I had to leave a review and beg this company to make more like it!

This is a really nice model.Schematics are very good and easy to understand. Very enjoyable to make!

Fun as most good builds should be.Expect a little jumping through boards to find pieces. A little frustrating but I can appreciate the efficient use of material.Directions could be a little bit better with higher resolution pics. My eyes are not as young as they used to be. Even with reading glasses I had to use a magnifying glass.All in all… A total fun build.

It looks great and i stained it an espresso color from lowes. You want to paint or stain beforehand of course. Difficulty was relatively easy. The hard part for me was having patience building it because sometimes the pieces wouldn't fit precisely, so be prepared to take the time to sand you dont want to break the pieces since the wood looks like veneer. I personally never sanded it but i broke a couple pieces. Also it is fragile, when bumped or moved at times the wood shaped "ropes" seem to be the loosest fitting. Might be worth it to super glue them in places. Overall i am happy with the way it looks and the process of building it was an interesting view point. You get what you pay for so dont expect a high quality, sturdy wood.

Enjoyed putting this model together. Easy to follow instructions and sturdy parts. Only criticism is that the bottom of the hull is open and it would have been better for it to have been finished properly. Rigging was easy to do.

eady to put together, exactly as shown!!

I you are looking for a challenge and you love puzzles this is great for you

These puzzles are great and very well made! Took our 17 year old about 2 1/2 hours to put together.
