Review on 🏰 CubicFun Basils Cathedral Russia Architectural Model by Micael Casillas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't use LEDs in puzzles

They make a cheaper version of St. Basil's without LEDs. I say take this. Most of them look like they block the light inside, which looks really cool when lit. It's not like this. They're outside around the tower structures and they're white so it doesn't look good in my opinion. Again, there is no reliable way to fix the LED bulbs. The instructions show it pushes deeper than mine should obviously go in. I had to widen the holes a bit to push them farther, but that exposed some of the black tape. The build didn't go bad. BE CAREFUL WITH CROSSES! I bent one a bit and later it broke. I broke the first piece with the Cubicfun puzzle and now I've made many of them. I had to fake what was left in the bulb and it doesn't look quite right but it works. I moved it backwards. You will need glue for the tower spikes/bulbs and other parts. Most sections just don't stay in place and that was the worst part. Pretty standard despite how they are advertised. In any case, I like the extra fixation. The rest looks good!

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
