Fascinations Metal Earth Harry Potter Metal Earth Hagrid's Hut 3D Metal Model Kit

I love these detailed metal sculptures I can build with nothing but tweezers and a magnifying glass. Some of these pieces were small enough to fit on the tip of my finger. It was incredibly satisfying to do.

It took me about 3.5 hours (taking all pieces out and assembling). I didn't have any tiny wire cutters. All I had were some small needle nose pliers. I broke three pieces, but I think they'll go together okay with glue. (Two of the ones I broke were the little awnings over the doorways. They were very difficult to bend to a right angle without breaking). The third piece I broke was the wheelbarrow, but luckily, a few things had extra pieces, and that was one of them.I am looking forward to doing The Burrow and maybe a pirate ship. The only other one I have done was a Big Ben and it only took like 10min. It was very easy. I wasn't quite prepared for this level of intricate-ness, but I enjoyed it anyway. They can be very relaxing when you're not breaking pieces and dropping them. Haha.

This definitely isn’t for you if you can’t have patience. The pieces are very small and very hard to detach from the metal sheet. I did end up breaking both sets of stairs from bending them too far but I was able to fix this super glue and you can’t tell. This was my first metal earth I’ve ever put together and it was difficult but very cute in the end.

I liked this model a lot! I'd say it was one my favorite to put together out of the 25 or so I've done. I think it's a true moderate difficulty; the only parts that gave me trouble were attaching the roofs to the main buildings (I had to bend in the roof sectioning near the female side of the connection to get it to work) and attaching the smaller structure to the base, but that's par for the course, really. It took me just under 3 hours to complete.I would advise breaking from their instructions in only one way: when making the bottommost part of the bigger structure, instead of making a big hexagon and attaching it to itself and then attaching everything that goes on the outside of it (like the front and back doors and the window bits), just attach all the little things first and then bend it into shape. I'm not sure why they have it the other way around, it would be way too difficult to get any tool in there following their way.I'm a massive Harry Potter fan, and I'd recommend this to any fellow nerds out there!! I'll submit pictures when Amazon allows it!

I know it gives the dimensions but once it’s built it’s still so tiny. I like how small it is, but putting it together was a bit difficult. Definitely recommend a tweezer set and a magnifying glass. The metal is thin so it is delicate. Still love that I have this and will be ordering the other sets.

An excellent set, but if you haven’t done one of these before, don’t do this one. I suggest you start with a bridge. Builds like this one are not good for first timers, they require patience and skill.This particular build was very detailed, and the instructions were clear. The final product looks great and I couldn’t be happier.

I am a HP fan so I saw this hut and knew I wanted to assemble it. I am 32 years old and not ashamed. IT IS ADORABLE. The style of the hut, the mini gardening accessories and the platform it all sits on. The pumpkin is not attached to anything but it sits inside the wheelbarrow just fine. Very enjoyable to build. I find the name HP makes the product a little more expensive but I still don't regret buying it.

I’ve seen some very harsh reviews of these Metal Earth Models written by people who don’t know how they work. People get upset because they bend too many times and they break the metal. If you go slow and really pay attention to the directions, this won’t happen. That’s not a flaw in the product, it’s the nature of thin sheet metal. I love these little models and I’ve had fun assembling many of them.

Slightly smaller than I expected but really detailed. I thoroughly enjoyed building it.

Ma fille est enchantée par ce cadeau qui demande des heures de patience. La petite taille de la maison va très bien pour les collectionneurs Potter car on lui trouve une place. Une fois montée la maison peut se prêter à la peinture : un +.

EXCELENTE

Very nice details. Great quality. Had one part that gave me some trouble but it was nothing in the long run.

Modelo un poco complicado de hacer por la cantidad de detalles que tiene. Aun así se puede hacer con paciencia y queda muy bien. Las piezas que se rompen mas fácilmente traen alguna de recambio, por si acaso.
