Microworld3D Metal Puzzle, Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower Metal Model Kits, Chinese Architecture DIY 3D Puzzles for Adults, Assembly Puzzle Brain Teaser Art Craft Toys - 357 Pcs

I've built a number of models from various brands to date, but this was my first model from Microworld - I am very impressed with the quality of the materials, instructions and sheets layout. Every single piece is numbered with a little "speech bubble" pointing to it and almost all pieces required for a particular section of the model are on the same sheet. This makes for a very smooth and easy to follow build. Instructions seem to be google-translated to English, but that's not a big deal, pictures are very clear and easy to follow. Having said this, this model is not for beginners, some of the components will need skills (there are lot of columns, semi-circular shapes etc.) and assembling 250+ pieces will need a significant level of finesse, time and patience. The result is well worth it though!

It took me just under 13 and half hours to complete this one. It is my 19th model. This one is not for beginners! I had no issues with the tabs fitting into slots unlike other reviews stated. The towers do come out a little wonkey if you don't assemble them correctly. Other than that it is a stunning addition to my collection. You will need to have some spacial reasoning as the instructions are the worst of any model I have done. They don't tell you to either bend or fold so you'll have to figure that out on your own. And yes it does matter which one you choose to do (bend or fold). Some pieces are mislabeled as well, but easy to figure that out.

Considering the rather high price, one would expect more from this product. I bought this as a gift and the person who received it was very disappointed! The pieces are very small and break very easily and some are not accurately made to fit the way they are supposed to. The instructions are virtually useless as they are mostly hard to understand pictagrams. This was obviously made in China to be sold internationally.I wish that I could get my money back and buy a more useful gift. This is going to go in the trash!I strongly urge anyone considering buying this "puzzle" or any like it to forget it. Don't throw your money away!

Overall it is easy to assemble, except a couple deviations of the tabs and holes, besides it took time to find parts as they are so similar and numerous

This is a great model with a lot of detail. It will keep you busy for days. The instructions are better than the typical metal earth instructions. This does require the right tools (metal earth tool kits works good) and working knowledge on how to bend and piece the metal pieces together. Great model but not for a beginner.

The material seems better and sturdier than other manufacturers. Beautiful colors. BUT, right at the beginning i got dissapointed on the quality of the design! As u see in the photos, it is far from accurate. I hope this and the other 3 equal pieces are the only mistake! True i am looking for perfection but this is by far even accurate! 🤦‍♂️

A great - albeit difficult - 3D puzzle of the great Christian Church, Hagia Sophia! The puzzle is a great reminder of the brilliance and creativity of the Orthodox Christians.

Nice metal to work with. Tolerance for tabs to slots seems a little looser than other models, which is a good thing. But sometimes there are too many tabs to get them all fitted. Bend some tabs out of the way and attach what you can, just so the parts hold. Even though it’s difficult to impossible to assemble the temple perfectly, if you finish it will still look good and you can say a prayer of thanks.

El rompecabezas fue un éxito, a mi hijo le encantó.
