Metal Earth Praying Mantis 3D Kit

Not to hard

I love this model. A little much if you're a beginner as the peices are quite small and easy to break/bend if your not careful or a little more experienced working with these but, so cute and so worth the effort. I love it!

Very fun and good looking when complete. The only difficulty I had when assembling was in bending and controlling such small parts and minuscule tabs. With a little patience and some good effort, you’ll have a very cool model that looks great on a shelf. Not to be used as a toy, though! Many sharp pieces and very flexible, I suspect parts of it might snap if bent too far.

I had issues with this one. Some were not the model's fault. (One eyeball pinged itself into never-seen-again land and had to be replaced, badly, with aluminum foil). The abdomen being made of plates looks cool but is a bit tricky, as getting all of them properly curved took some doing and left a lot of scratches. I never figured out how to get the segment where the thorax and abdomen meet on as intended; the pieces simply did not match the instruction images. I turned it the other way around and finished it by ignoring the tabs to nowhere. So, not the greatest instructions, an extra eye would have been awesome(I never lost the pieces in other models they give extras of), but despite it all it's one of the most impressive when finished of those I have done so far.

I've never done any of these models before so this is new to me. I find it requires some patience and eye to detail, but it was a fun and interesting experience. The instructions were easy to follow, starting with the abdomen, legs, thorax, and finishing up with the head.I did not have needle point pliers but I was able to get by using tweezers and a sharp pair of scissors (for cutting the pieces out of the metal sheet). It still worked out very nicely!The final product is now finished, and it looks sturdier than I expected.

One of the easier Metal Earth models there, and very unique. As with other genuine Fascination items, the lines are nicely etched and the quality and look of the metal is sound, with a nice sheen. I find this to be a good introduction to Metal Earth before moving on to the harder buildings and Star War templates. If you have teenagers (or if you're an adult uncertain with your own tolerance for frustration), this model is a good place to start and see if you want to commit to buying the more complicated and expensive models.HAIKU SUMMARY:Steel praying mantisUnique time spent building itTake your time novice

I bought this to put together with my friend and we had a good time putting it together. This took us just under an hour to assemble. Now the preying mantis has been sitting at our desk in a flower pot for the past 5 month. It’s stayed in good condition even after watering over it.

there was a part of the contruction process that could have been completed very easily if it was just done a step prior. I also did not realize the tools "recommended" were pretty much necessary if you didnt want to cut your fingers open. The end product took me two hours to construct by hand and using tweezers but it looks good.

Beau!

Es ist zügig angekommenHat eine gute Qualität und sieht sehr schön aus

buen precio, entrega rápida

el regalo perfecto

Comme d'habitude aucun problème de commande délais ou livraison.Les éléments de l'insecte tiennent dans une seule plaque métallique grande environ comme une main, et se détachent par des mouvements répétés de pivot.Ce n'est pas mon premier Métal Earth, je l'ai fait à la demande de mon fils pour mettre dans sa chambre. Je me suis dit Ouais fastoche celui ci.Et bien oui mais pas tant que ça car la difficulté réside dans les grandes pattes super fines très fragiles qui se tordent au moindre contact.Le résultat est néanmoins superbe comme tous les MetalEarth.Je présise que comme tous les MetalEarth celà demande beaucoup de patience et de minucie : à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains.
