Review on 🧩 UGears 3D Wooden Puzzle UTG0031 by Dred Swindler

This is my first Ugears kit and I chose it because it was one of the more difficult models and was likely to take several hours to complete. I watched a few YouTube videos and knew what to expect and when it arrived it didn't disappoint. Everything was well packaged and I also appreciated the spare parts on more breakable parts. It took me about 13 hours to put the kit together and that's because I took my time. I have carefully sanded and waxed all moving parts and checked the work each time something new was added. I managed to break the camshaft when depressing the valves and had to disassemble the engine to replace it, but the parts saved me from ordering another one. The model works exactly as it should. It starts, the engine runs and both forward and reverse work. Now that I know it works, it only shows up on my desktop. Anyone who thinks this is a toy is wrong. It's very delicate and many parts will need to be replaced if you keep messing with it. Although I don't mind. Anyone who builds a car from thin pieces of wood shouldn't expect it to withstand repeated use and abuse. This is a great kit. The laser cut pieces are absolutely perfect and everything fits together exactly as it should. There were a few tricky components during construction, but that only added to the appeal. Can't wait to build another one now!
