Review on 🏰 CubicFun Basils Cathedral Russia Architectural Model by Devon Leach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Saint Basil would be proud.

This puzzle was fun to put together. For the most part, the fit and finish was surprisingly good for a paper/foam product. The pieces separated easily from the sheets and with care there were no tears or folds. As a fashion designer, I always value precision and a good-looking finished object. This meets most of my expectations. I gave 1 star because of the poor design of the collars around the domes. They seem too short to fit around the top of the dome, leaving an unsightly gap where the ends meet. I couldn't get the holes to fit the tabs without bending the tabs. I found a much better way to assemble them, using a pair of flushing pliers to cut and cross the tabs, then glue the collar to the dome. Everything fitted together and looked a lot better done that way. This was my first Cubicfun puzzle and I was lucky enough to order a giant Notre Dom puzzle for my next project. wish me a lock :)
