My husband loves these puzzle sets

My husband is a mechanical engineer so these sets are perfect for him. He loves collecting these little models and making them more complex as he buys more. We should have a dozen of these now and will continue to buy as they loosen up on him. If you enjoy tinkering with mechanical things and don't mind small intricate details, this is for you.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

I had crumpled packaging, but the product itself is accurately described

I ordered it as a gift for a man who is passionate about assembling these sets. Not sure if it was the Fascinations brand or the carrier, but when I got it in the mail the box was crumpled and the metal sheet inside was completely bent in all places. Was very disappointed with this, not sure how much it will affect the completion of the kit. However, Fascinations' image is positive and the product description is accurate.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • There are nuances

Huge waste of time.: Puzzle

Great end product. The details are just amazing. Took me about 2 hours to assemble, which is less than I would have liked. I've built about 20 of these models and have found that ICONX models tend to be much more detailed and preferable to Metal Earth's standard models. However, I will continue to make many of these, but hope to see more complex models soon. If you're looking for more challenges, try ICONX Notre Dame Cathedral. I almost lost patience but the finished product is just stunningโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Frequency

I was very happy to find this as it is one of my favorite buildings. The assembly took about 5 hours. I used a utility knife to cut the pieces out of the sheet metal as they wanted to deform if I tried just prying them off by hand. Somehow I ended up with a loose turret, so pay close attention to that when assembling. There are other small details that I really liked. I also used jewelry making pliers to bend the pieces if needed so it was a cleaner bend. Overall I had fun putting it togetherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Empty
