a pleasure to make
What a great product! I had done another companies Notre Dame and it was fun but not as much fun or a nice a end result as this model. This model besides being the prettiest building that I have found in metal models is also one of the best thought out and solid to construct. It went together so well and getting the individual sections together and then the easy final assembly was so much fun! The finished model is so solid and well constructed. The details are beautiful! A few words about tools. These models are very intricate and having the right tools is key to ending up with a nice finish. Getting the micro model tools with the tiniest little micro pliers made a huge difference. Highly recommend you have the right tools. All these tools come in handy and the cost is minimal. My ninth model and by far my favorite! Now if Piececool would just PLEASE PLEASE make a model of the Sagrada Familia!! Please!

Challenging yet rewarding
One of the biggest challenges I have undertaken in this sort of hobby, it is extremely rewarding after you complete the whole piece, but it is not for beginners, pieces are very small and sometimes not so ease to assemble, but that is part of the fun in this kind of project, if you are starting please try a different more approachable piece first. FYI special tool are required.

Great model, challenging, beautiful result
If you’ve built any of these metal models you know the deal. This ones not for beginners. There are some challenging operations with some extremely delicate pieces so if you’re buying this for a kid they should be older, patient and already have experience with these kits. All said the resulting model is stunning; such minute details. Unlike the “usual” shiny steel models these come with printed colors and graphics on them. Really neat.

Very very small
Not for those with vision issues or fat finger issues... invest in a good magnifying glass. Bought for husband who loves all puzzles but he is struggling a bit with this. It is very small and the parts are delicate. Beautiful.

Difficult to work with.
I purchased this as a gift for my wife who enjoys puzzles and crafts similar to this. However, the product was much smaller than I anticipated it would be. The pieces are very intricate and she had difficulty taking the pieces off of the packaging. She even went and purchased a small jewelry tool set to help with working with them. But after 3-4 days of working on it in her free time she gave up as the pieces kept breaking as she tried to get them out of the packaging.

Piececool St Basil’s Cathedral: Challenging Metal Model That Started My Hobby
Took weeks to complete this challenging Piececool St. Basil’s Cathedral metal model, but loved every minute—my first metal model kit that sparked a new hobby, perfect for decompressing after intense workdays with its intricate details and rewarding build.

Stupid tiny and breakable details
It does look nice if you manage to put it together. The problem is in the size of the details. They are insanely tiny and the metal breaks easily as it is rather soft. One of the domes just fell apart like flower petals... you need a magnifying glass to be able to read instructions and get tiny parts into tiny holes... for this I am giving it a lower rating

Piececool models are cool!
This is only my 2nd model that I have assembled. The first one was the their Sherman (?) tank - very interesting putting it together. You definitely need steady hands and a good magnifying pair of glasses. Notre Dame is my 2nd model. A lot more intricate. Step 1 took me over 2 hours but I think progress will be quicker one the fiddly little bits are done. But hey, what's the rush. I want a model that will be the best it can be; not that I am a perfectionist. Time will tell, but I don't think you can beat piececool models for the price and the enjoyment of building. Done right, it will be a model you will proudly display. This won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Fragile, tabs easily broken as the metal is about as think as tin foil folded 3 times.
Came in a nice box and parts are nicely painted. Instructions weren't the easiest to understand and assembly is fiddly at best. Tabs on parts would not fit easily into the slots resulting in broken parts. Shaping the roof parts was near impossible. I have given up on this because too many parts broke and the structure is not stable even when I tried to shore it up with glue. Personally I won't buy another puzzle like this again.

Extremely Challenging but rewarding
Very small , good design. Impossible to build without the right tools . Some pieces don’t cut clean and need to be smoothened out so that they mate perfectly! Some pieces were just way too tiny for my big hands. Instructions were vague in some places . Overall, took me a month prolly, 2-4 hours a week , completed it but couldn’t assemble it the way intended in some places due to how tiny some pieces are ! Good challenge if you have the patience. Value for money , quality is sketchy especially smaller pieces .
