## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth build
*by C***Y on March 6, 2023*

Out of all the brands, this is so far my favorite wood build.Pros.As much as i like 3d models i did like the toothpick method over having another sheet of tiny pieces.There is a smaller sheet of extras that have a higher chance of breakingAll pieces were cut on point, no trimmingModel turned out soooo smoothCons.As much as like the toothpick idea, it was a pain at some point (had to bring out the superglue for the last step bc 4 rubberbands on each side of those T pieces pulled them from the gears)Not sure what happened but after winding it up the tires wont spin. Possibly user error but im not crying that a model intended for display isnt flying across the floor. The back of the booklet provides ideas as to why scenario ______ is happening but i reeeaaallly dont want to take it apart just to find thats not the issueJust being picky w this point, would have preferred if they use the sheets in numerical order rather than hopping all over the place. Would have made troubleshooting a bit easier.Overall.Even w my cons 100% i would recommend/gift this model. Doesnt take forever like some models and they just did a great w the pieces (cut, amount, details, look). Dont let my cons stop you, at the end of the day yeah its a bummer i wasnt able to run it across my floor but the main purpose is to build secondary is for display. Aside from one part out of the 68 pages, EASY to follow directions and its VERY CLEAR on what its symbols mean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product
*by H***A on January 7, 2025*

Very good product and entertainment

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The fun of this model is in the assembly of it.
*by D***E on November 3, 2020*

I got this model to help kill some time. It absolutely did that and more!This model has some challenging assemblies. The two gear boxes (one in front, and one in the rear) have to be carefully sanded, tolerance checked and matched in order to accomplish smooth operation. I ended up using CA+ superglue on the mating surfaces of the moving parts and then sanding with 240 grit to take out any rough spots. I would also recommend using a dry graphite lubricant for all contact surfaces of moving parts.The engine assembly took me a while to complete because I hardened the wood surfaces with CA+, built up the rod journals with spare wood and then sanded them round. I also glued each rod together (on the crank), sanded and tolerances for smooth movement.I highly recommend CA/CA+ superglue, a sanding block, a variety of round items that can be used as sanding blocks, and sand paper ranging from 180 to 400 grit.The toothpicks that are provided are low quality and made of wood. I stopped by the supermarket and picked up round toothpicks made out of bamboo (higher quality and very strong)In total, this model took me 30+ hours to complete. The fun of this model is in the assembly of it and the satisfaction of a job well done when finished. It now sits on the shelf and is a nice conversation piece.*If you plan on putting this model together in an afternoon and then play with it, you will be very disappointed.*
