Too small
Way too small to put together.

Meticulous built
Nice weekend project. Must have patience for this one

Very difficult to do!
This was incredibly difficult to make! It was like a puzzle that you build... But with tiny pieces, using tweezers and no ability to redo if you make a mistake... Which I did. After bending thin metal the wrong way once... It tends to break when you do it the other way. It took hours, but I was determined to finish it for my daughter. I did get it finished... But I had to use a bit of hot glue to help it stay together

Don’t bother!
Don’t buy this, whatever you do!! It’s absolute garbage! The average piece is about 3/16 of an inch big, and that’s IF you can break it free from a thick metal grid. If you’re into extremely tiny things that require a microscope and several sets of tweezers to assemble then I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I found it impossible and extremely frustrating. I ended up buying the Lego model for my my son’s school project and we had a blast building it. Save yourself days of time and frustration. I’ll never purchase one of their products again.

Detailed and fun to build
Realistic model with great detail. Very difficult and requires careful building as mistakes can lead to the pieces breaking easily.

Waste of $.. such a scam
Not worth the money.. I feel like this was totally misrepresented.. seller should include pictures of the 60 pieces you have to tear off of sheet metal to place together. This is an impossible model to put together.. pieces broke.. stabbed me.. I’m a patient person but I gave up after step 6

Great piece for the collection.
I have purchased a number of these miniature models and each one of them has proven to be unique. Although the pieces are small there are tools that you could use to shape them that metal earth provides. Fun easy build and a fun display piece. Pieces a durable enough to waist and a drop or a number of folds.

Do not buy!
The model is so small and fragile there is no way to finish it without breaking pieces. Whoever thought creating a model like this must enjoy terrorizing people. I would not suggest anyone buy this product. if i could send it back I would but unfortunately, it is in pieces in in the trash.
