The Flying Dutchman

[WtShark]

I've never done a paper model, well not that I recall.
My wife gave this to me as a Christmas gift and it's incredibly well made. Simple card stock, printed and I assume laser cut.
It's remarkably detailed for paper and is going together pretty easy, sure some stuff doesn't really fit, but it's paper... so it's easy to adjust.
Very simple, punch part, insert tab into slot and "massage" (force) into place. Actually, quite fun to build while sitting in front of the TV.
Includes 2 strings of LED lights, and they've been pulled through the hull and deck.
This is about 4 hour of work yesterday afternoon/evening, I'll post finish photos once done.

couple hours

... so cool! even card cannons!

 

[WtShark]

Ah yes,
I should have mentioned the other addition in this kit; 18 plastic cannons, slotting into the decks.
They were a sonofagun to fold though.

Haha, having seen everything paper from cymbals to carburetors in this forum, it wouldn't have surprised me!
Looking awesome BTW!

Impressive model and a fair amount of fun...... for cardboard.
