3D Metal Puzzles-The Flying Dutchman

Super cool but incredibly difficult to assemble

This is a really thin fragile metal puzzle. The pieces that bend can break easily. Definitely takes skill to put together

This ship was a lot of fun to build. But make sure to bring your patience. Also don’t even think about starting on this project without getting some sort of magnifier. I had to buy a lighted magnifier because the parts are so small and intricate. Also make sure to look closely at the instructions. There are plenty of instances where there are tab slots next to each other and it’s easy to put it into the wrong one. Overall this was really fun and I’ve already ordered my next one.

I like to build the Metal Earth ones. I decided to give this brand a shot, it's almost better quality than M.E. Metal sheets are stamped perfectly, and the sheets have A,B,C...ect stamped into them to make referencing them easy.

This is my first attempt at model building but learned a few things right away. 1. The pieces are extremely small. If you don't have a magnifying glass and light, get one 2. Order the kit that comes with tools. I did but also ordered a second tool kit and was surprised by the quality. The included tools are such better than the second kit i ordered. It toom me about an hour to make it through step 1. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Keeping my expectations low but I'll likely keep building these.
