Fascinations Metal Earth Premium Series Salt Lake City Temple 3D Metal Model Kit

Bought this to cage my rat in. He loved it so much I made him feel like a cat and then ate his own tail

My husband is a mechanic and even when he’s off work cannot seem to settle down for bed. So I needed to find something that would not only calm him but something that he could use his hands. I have been buying him these metal earth kits to help with his sleeping. This one by far has been the most challenging. He is usually able to finish a metal earth kit in three days. But this one he is still working on and not even close to being finished. He Is a former LDS member And although he practices another religion now, This means a lot to him to build. I would highly recommend this kit

Get the tools and if you are a beginner, do not start with this model. There are a lot 9f very small parts. I have put many metal earth together. It says no glue needed. Well if yo have small fingers you might not break anything. I get the gorilla glue eith the very small tip because I always break something. I do wish they'd make these with the embossing on it like some of the other models I've done. Perfect to make for your mormon friend. Get the tools!!!! Get the glue!!@

So fun, easy instructions, comes out nice. Fascinations is the best when it comes to these puzzles. Pieces all fit easily, no struggle to have to fit in a "bad" piece. After 30+ of these puzzles I know I can trust Fascinations with quality.

This is a good advanced metal earth model. Directions were mostly straightforward. I would recommend people to form the towers for the most part before putting the different struts to them as it's almost impossible to bend them straight after they are attached. Not overly difficult as there are no curved parts or bends to make, just a lot of small long pieces to bend which can be difficult to do straight with just pliers. I was satisified with the experience and end result. A base to attach this to would have been nice and solidified the structure a bit.

I liked the challenge, it took me a little over 14 hours (I can't focus very well, and it's a difficult puzzle). It's the temple my parents got married in and my mom loved it for her Christmas present. It's sitting next to her computer in her office. It has a lot of pieces that are basically the same, and all look the same but with very slight differences. Make sure to keep them separate when you put it together because the parts are small and easy to lose. Other than that, great puzzle, great detail.

Tried to let some six year olds try to put this together even though it's rated for 14+ I'm in my 40's and I struggled with it. The 20+ year old had no problems with it though. Maybe I'm just clumsy.

Such a fun and cool model. It definitely takes some time and patience but it is all worth it in the end! Not a model for beginners
