Cool fun little model for beginners!

GREAT FIRST PROJECT I've wanted to try one of these kits for a long time but didn't want to spend a lot because it was too complicated or flimsy. This little set of gears is amazing! Difficult but not that bad. Some parts have very fine detail and others are quite subtle. It takes patience and a firm but gentle touch to remove the fragile parts from the boards. I recommend using a graphite pencil (I only used the old #2) and draw on the inside of each tooth on each of the gears touching the others. Gears (each time you add a gear, check the movement and pay special attention to exclamation marks in the instructions!). I also ran a pencil over some of the pins that were difficult to insert. Especially in the last step, when attaching the model to the base, there is no good way to grab and insert the model, so I closed the pins. in graphite and they immediately slid off with some firm but gentle pressure. When I was done the model was a bit stiff at first, but I kept adding the pin to the gears and kept turning everything until they could move freely. In general I am very happy with this small model (and it is small). The quality and detail is great and I will be buying larger sets in the future. RELEVANT INFO: PATIENCE AND GENTLE TOUCH REQUIRED TO REMOVE PARTS. THIS IS NOT A WATCH TOY. THIS IS A MODEL OF MECHANISMS YOU TURN WITH YOUR FINGERS. THIS IS NOT WORKING HOURS. THIS IS FUN AND COOL LITTLE MODEL.
