Metal EarthMMS122 Voyager Spacecraft Metal Model

I haven't made a model in years and this was a challenge given that my only tools were a pair of tweezers from a christmas cracker and a craft knife. I also found a set of drill bits useful as forms for bending pieces to required diameter.Not perfect but quite pleased with the result. Instructions were clear enough. Will invest in some decent cutters and thin nosed pliers. Hubble telescope is next.

A great little kit, very fragile and requires patience. I would reccomend you get some suitable tools when doing it,it makes it so much more manageable.

You've got one chance to get it right, no re bending /shaping of parts or they snap no tutorial available for this particular model. But still good fun trying. Would give it another go.

Arrived earlier then set date and the model is beautiful would definitely recommend.

In short - unless you have the skill, tools, eyesight and patience of a watchmaker don’t buy this. It’s rare that I give up on these kinds of challenges but After 4 hours of struggle just getting started I had to admit defeat. Life’s too short. For example it took me an hour just to extract one of the pieces from the flat metal sheet before even starting. Some of the pieces are so small that you could almost literally loose them under a fingernail. How they can claim this would be good for a14 year old is totally disingenuous to be frank. The only reason I give it 2 stars rather than one is that it’s such a good idea in concept and I’m sure there must be someone somewhere with the ability to put it together but It’s totally impractical In reality.

I love that kind of stuff

Great product.
