CubicFun 3D Puzzles USS Constitution Vessel Ship Model Building Kits Age 3+ for Adults and Kids, Crafts Gifts for Boys Girls Women Men- 193 Pieces

bought as a gift for my father and he absolutely loved building it, plus it looks really nice when finished so he has it on his windowsill. Fantastic gift for a retired tinkerer who cant do as much as they used to be able to.

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 easierAt 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.

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!

Bought this for my nephew, he loved it but he had difficulty with the light fittings being very fiddly and intricate. I don't think he actually finished it.

Amazing puzzles for any age range. My nephew loves it.Once assembly ship is impressive and big .
