Explore the Mystery of the Flying Dutchman
A legendary ghost ship called the Flying Dutchman. It can never make port and sail the oceans forever. This 3D puzzle of a ghost ship was designed with many fine details after building. There are two decks and a row of plastic cannons on each side, totaling 24 cannons. A ghostly bow with ferocious teeth, rotten hull, and battered sails takes you on a journey of exploration and discovery.
Enjoyable & Challenging to Build
This is a large and impressive ghost ship model kit for teens, adults, and nautical enthusiasts. Totally 369 pieces and about 27 inches long after finishing the puzzle. Comes with a clear illustration to follow.

Was fun to do but very small. Like tweezers to build small. I can see people losing there minds trying to build this

This was my first metal model. Firstly – even though it says no tool required, don’t even attempt it. You NEED the proper tools to build this. Luckily I bought the tools ahead of time. I soon found out that the parts are so small that a good magnifier of some sort is beneficial. So I bought a magnifying ring light which made a huge difference. Highly recommend one of those, or a head mounted jewelers magnifier. The parts are very fragile. You need to really make sure you understand every bend in the instructions because if you bend the wrong way, you likely will break the part when you attempt to bend back the other way (I had to use super glue to fix parts 5 times). The hull is super hard to get the right shape, and there’s lots of stuff attaching to it so it must be correct or other stuff won’t align. There are some parts that get ridiculously monotonous though – like building 18 canons, each canon is made of 3 separate parts, each part has to be hand bent into specific shape. So that is 54 parts that have to be shaped, which becomes a tedious process that makes you feel so glad when you get those done LOL
It really tests your patience! But if you just go slow, take your time, complete focus… Making this becomes a very zen like hobby. Hours would just fly by as I worked on this. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent building it. I have already committed to building more metal models in the future. It’s a great hobby.
