Review on 🧩 Unravel the Wonders of San Francisco with 4D Cityscape Puzzle! by Simo Ramsey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very informative jigsaw puzzle about history

I really liked the jigsaw puzzle. I've never solved a riddle like this before. The puzzle is completed in 3 phases. First you solve a simple puzzle like any other puzzle I've ever done. (720 pieces). The basic puzzle shows San Francisco when most of it was still undeveloped, but the street names were determined. Second, you create a modern puzzle using flexible foam with a raised top that rests on a historical foundation. Third, you make building parts out of plastic. But you don't just stick them into pre-punched holes. You place them in the order they were created in a specific order. And as you do, you'll see how high-rise architecture has evolved into the building skyline of 2019. It was educational and amazing to see the location of the buildings appearing side by side as I laid them out. With each new building I added, I deliberately stopped for a while to enjoy the view of the city. By the time I was done, I was already planning to pick and seek out other cities I could do from the same historical perspective while still solving puzzles I love. All puzzle pieces are of high quality. The styrofoam parts were good. But they don't stay straight once you start putting in plastic cases. But it wasn't that bad. Likewise. the plastic buildings were preformed and left on the plastic trees that come from the plastic model making. So when separating the housings from the mold mounts I had to get out my Exacto knife to trim the plastic burrs. Otherwise, burrs can tear through the paper top of the flexible foam pieces. This is how I did it for each element of the building. it was pain But there was simply no choice. The puzzle really paid off.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
