    Less than 24 hours from purchase to completion! This is the only wooden model I've built, except for some dinosaurs and unicorns fro the great-grandkids, and I'm impressed with the precision of the laser cutting as well as the way the kit is engineered. The lighting is included and runs from a USB C plug. Could do with clearer illustrations in the instructions though.
    The final 8 parts are so fragile they give you 2 spares... so of course I broke 3! CA to the rescue.
    Not a bad outcome for £13.59 though. Highly recommended.

    Good result Peter.
    How's the finger ends!

    I find these 'kits' a great way to unwind. Superb fit too.

    The only down side is they can be a tad expensive for what they are. Still good fun to build though.

      No problem with the fingers Ron, thanks. Most of the fits need squeezing rather than pressing and I used the flat of my tweezers where I needed to press hard.
