Stunningly beautiful but tedious to put together
The finished product is absolutely gorgeous. I've gotten several compliments on it. I've never put together a metal model before and learned a few things.First of all, I should mention the parts are of the best quality. Perfectly cut with the finest details. There were no missing parts, however most are exactly enough.The hardware is smooth and shiny. It comes with all the tools you need, including a pair of tweezers, screwdriver, allen wrench, and a hex bolt wrench.The little nuts and washers are a little hard to hold onto. They and some of the parts are extremely small. Things will slip out of your fingers, so work over a covered table. I used a pillow case, so if dropped, they wouldn't bounce out of sight.I worked on it over the course of several days doing one or two steps a day. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Everything is done in pairs. Both left and right. The main difference being the direction the hardware is facing.The only thing I found tricky was how tight to make the hardware. I wanted some play in some of the parts, like the claws and tail, but if you don't get it right the hardware gets loose quickly.Keep the screwdriver handy if you want to play with it after it's put together. 😉

Way better than I expected.
Quality: 10/10Difficulty: 4/10Instructions: 9/10Recommended Items:- Magnifying glasses or one that's stationary (not required, I didn't use one)Alright so I went out on a limb here and decided to try this kit out. Below is my ADHD brained review:Let's not lie, it does look pretty dang cool. I chose the green one and it's gorgeous.Quality:Alright let's talk quality. Every part, nut, bolt, screw, etc... are made of a good quality metal (not a clue what kind, but they feel a good quality). I'm going to say it's not aluminum, it feels heavier. But overall, everything was a higher quality than I anticipated.Difficulty:Now for the Difficulty, there's only one spot in the Instructionsthat took me a bit to figure out. This is the part regarding the legs. Match the small pieces to small pieces and large to large. Don't try and mix/match,you'll thank me later.Another item I struggled with, are the small parts. Having a way to magnify would have been my preference. I did accomplish the build without though.Everything else was pretty straight forward. You get cards that show what every piece is, based on which part package you pick up. I was really surprised by this, very handy!Instructions:I appreciate that they did a pretty dang good translation. I've had models before, where all I had was just a picture. These guys did a dang good job making it really easy to do.Again, calling out the wording in the instructions for building the legs. This part needs to be corrected, as it takes a bit to figure it out. How to do the kegs: match the small pieces with their corresponding small counterparts. Do not mix large pieces with small pieces.Overall Rating: 10/10. I'm already looking to get another one. I really hope they expand these to include more models.

Decent kit. finished without problems
This was the first kit I built, and it took me most of 2 days. Some of the parts are really small and easy to lose. In part it took so long because I kept app the parts in their trays and bags until I needed them and used the tweezers to grab them. You need to be careful about not losing fasteners. I ended up with one extra of the most common screw and 1 nut. I had several leftovers for other parts. Maybe the bag they came in was common with some other kits. In a couple places the drawings weren't clear and I had to backtrack and redo when the result was wrong. It took me a while to figure out why I got one of the claws wrong. It turns out there';s a subtle difference in the orientation of the top and bottom pieces of the claw such that the gears work one way and not the other.

Hundreds of tiny parts; Keeps you busy for hours!
This was purchased as a gift for my father for his 60th Birthday; He was excited to assemble it, and the final result is veryneat and has a good weight to it! The project lasted several hours. Be aware, there are a LOT of smaller parts, all of which can be tricky to put together during some stages. The instructions weren't too bad. The assembly seemed fun, and with all the hundreds of small parts, I suppose the value was worth it. It'll forever be a happy memory!

Great project
Great project. Loved building it wish the most common bolts and nuts came with extras and not the uncommon ones. So don’t lose any

Hard but manageable!!
Son loved building it. He did over a 2 day span (he marathons these types of projects). He said it was annoying having to hold tiny short screws perfectly still during the assembly when connecting sections, but he enjoyed it 100% and learned some more patience and resilience!
