Model building is not a quick activity.
Illustrating this is Miguel Angel Blanch ofModelismo Naval para Todos(Naval Modeling for Everyone).
The time spent, however, was well worth it.
He gathered his materials, including plywood and electronic materials to add light and sound to the ship.
Painting was far from the last step of the shipbuilding process though.
He also had to sculpt the transom, which is the vertical section on the rear of the boat.
It, too, was painted and modeled onto the ship to match the rest of Blanchs creation.
One of the final steps was making tattered sails, which helped bring the imaginary ship to life.

It took him 10 months and 280 to 300 hours of work.
The time spent, however, was well worth it.
Blanch has faithfully recreated a much smaller version of the ship that doesnt skimp on any of the details.
It looks just like the Flying Dutchman from the film.
After building the structure, he wired it for lighting and sound.
He recreated the pocket faces that line the side of the ship.
It took many layers of paint to give the Flying Dutchman the weathered, ghostly look.
One of the final steps was sewing the tattered sails.
