Review on Handmade 8664 Billy Teahouse - Market by Brady Penczak

This set is awesome and I will definitely be buying more of these in the future. This set is quite complex and I wouldn't recommend it for young children or beginners. for model building. Especially when it comes to assembly, nothing is heavy enough, but materials are limited. The instructions show how to cut the materials to get everything you need. If you don't follow this or make a mistake you will get in trouble and may have to run to your local craft store. I don't speak Japanese so the instructions were a bit complicated. There are several instructional videos on the internet to facilitate the learning process. They don't cover 100% (which foam is used [30mm, 50mm], how the cuts were made, etc.) and some videos seem to differ in the kit content (I think this has changed over time ; nothing radical). If you are good at shape matching and are patient, you can figure it out. It took about 16 hours to put together and it was my first of these kits (I have many years of modeling experience). To assemble, you need to collect a lot of tedious and delicate things. The end product is wonderful. Not recommended for those new to modeling (unless you are patient and dedicated). Recommended for the relatively experienced model maker who wants something like a challenging Sudoku puzzle that you can display or give as a gift.
