CubicFun 3D Puzzles Large Pirate Ship 26.6" Difficult Watercraft Model Ship Building Kits Toys for Adults and Teens, Queen Anne's Revenge 308 Pieces

Still working on it BUT I spent about 5 hours the first day building the majority of the ship and I was having so much fun! There's moments when a part has troubles connecting or I pulled out super glue to make sure it stayed, but it has easy to follow directions and is very satisfying to see the work you've done at the end! The lights are bright, I turned them on when they were on the ship, but have not done it in the dark once it is fully assembled. It's a paper/cardboard material so it isn't sturdy plastic but the pieces once locked in place make it sturdy enough to display. The detail is great too because I am putting parts on the deck where I'm thinking "does this matter?" And yes! For detail, authenticity, and to be true to the ship, that tiny part needs to be there. I have had no missing pieces as it all comes in sheets with the pieces you push out and it's very nicely laid out so they're easy to find.

Gave this as a gift to a fellow Titanic enthusiast and here's what she had to say:"When I received the Titanic model, from some good friends, I was touched by the thoughtfulness, but unsure of the value. My previous experience with paper models were that they looked cheap and were flimsy.CubicFun's Titanic is over 3 feet long, with LED lights and looks expensive when finished. It is amazingly detailed and cleverly engineered. The quality shows in the richness of the colors and the near perfect registration. The only item that was not perfectly printed was the White Star flag which was correct on one side and backwards when the ship was turned around. That said the product is paper over foam, which while being sturdier than paper and cardboard, can't hold a tight tolerance. This is why when you assembly it, I recommend an Exacto knife to enlarge the slots that the tabs go in and glue to hold the tabs in the slots that are too big. If you don't you will be fighting pieces falling off, while you are adding the next piece to the model. Also if you want to move the model, everything needs to be glued down. I recommend a thick gel paper glue that does not dry sticky, I used one made by Kindred stamps but I am sure that you can find similar glue. Less important, but a nice touch is to have several wide point Sharpy Markers, in brown, maroon and black to touch up edges of the tabs and foam so they don't show. I put the kit difficulty between an adult Lego set and a plastic model Airplane.I do recommend the kit to any Titanic lover. Sure is cheaper than than the almost $700 dollar Lego version."Donald J.

This was made of quality material, instructions very easy to follow. Looks great when finished. The lights make it very cool.Would definitely buy again.

I really had fun assembling this puzzle, but you have to understand that nothing stays together with punch and push type assembly. Let me hasten to say all the tabs and slots fit together, but to say they will stay together is not exactly true, with all the movement required to build this model. For manufacture to say no messy glue required is misleading at best. Things just keep falling off, you do most of the upper decks, and then they have you turn boat upside-down to put on the bottom. Over all this is an attractive finished product. Worth your time as long as you have some glue handy.I put this on my recommended list.

This was an awesome kit. I built it with my ten-year-old son. He could do a lot by himself, but definitely needed my help with some bits as a few of them were hard to place. A couple of pieces tore a bit, but could still be used. For the price, I think this is a really good kit. Once it was put together, it has held together well being transported to school for a project. It did take a few hours to do. Overall, my son and I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Everything is well made and pretty. Instruction book is clear and well written. It took me about 11 hours to finish assembly and here are a few lessons I learned:1. Do NOT do it on the floor. Your back will complain a lot if you do.2. Do it somewhere with good lights. Or else your eyes will complain.3. Punch all interlocking holes before assembly and found something good to do the punch. I used things coming out of the holes (long ones) but would probably find something better if I have to do it again.4. Follow the instructions, especially while wiring the lights. Picture 1 and picture 3 are the correct wirings for two trickiest layers of light and picture 2 showed the wrong wiring ( which I had to redo to picture 3 because the layer above it would not fit well with it being wiring like picture 2.One thing that can be improved is to shorten some of the wires. Half of my time was spent on wire and re-wire the lights.Overall, it's fun to play with, especially staying home during the pandemic. And the outcome is absolutely beautiful. It will make a great gift.Edited to add: I see some comments complain about things do not fit. If something does not seem to fit, make sure you are putting them in the right hole. Everything fits great on mine but there were a couple places that I could not push in at the beginning but they all turned out that I tried to put them in the wrong holes.

I purchased this for my elderly father who gets bored very easily in the winter when you can't do much outside The finished progress is gorgeous when the lights light up really looks amazing The product it was not intended to be glued together just put it together as a puzzle after reading other Amazon reviews where some of them suggested a dab of glue we did just that and turned out perfect no you cannot take a back apart it's glued together but we actually made a shell and set it up on a shelf on the wall and in case you turn the light on at night very nice product you will love it. The box says it's a 4 hours to put together I doubt that seriously especially if you are using a dab of glue like I suggested
