Model good but the hinge pinsNot good .iron pins would beGood

This is not an easy model to make. It is often very frustrating. You have to deal with a lot of internal mechanisms, which may not be ideal for a casual model maker. I have been making models for 20+ years so not a beginner. Pieces are held together with wooden cocktails sticks. The tightness means that its often very difficult to slot the sticks into the available holes. I spent most of my time shaving down the sticks with a sharp knife. You also need to use elastic bands to wind up and power the moving parts. The pieces are easy to break. I am not a clumsy person, actually very careful - but I broke 5 pieces in total, luckily they were non essential internal parts so they didn't show. I worked on this for a full month (a few hours every day) so you need patience to do it. Once it starts taking shape, you do start to feel satisfied. So its fabulous looking when its all over, just be sure you want to put yourself through the ordeal.

I new this kit wasnt going to be easy, over 500 parts, but found not enough spare parts to replace the ones broken trying to remove from board, also only one size elastic band, which means trying to cut and tie to a specific sizeI found the arrows showing were specific parts fit are barely visible on the instructions, in all enjoyable to do but manufacturing could do better

Great model to pass the time, very well made, good instruction book, some bits a bit fiddly but that might be because of my fat fingers, end result terrific.Already looking to buy another.

Debut Ugears kit for me. This is the highest quality, precision engineered adult toy making. I probably picked difficult model to start with but loving it! Highly recommend if you enjoy putting things together. And here in ireland they have real people on customer support - thanks NN.

Having put one of the cars together as my first attempt at these superb models and enjoying every minute, I went for the Bigboy truck. The more time I spend building this, the more I realise what a fantastic product it is. The thought that has gone into these is amazing. This one would be a difficult first go, but once you work out the instructions, and what the symbols mean, they are easy to follow. I am half way towards building the Bigboy truck and still enthralled with it. Shut myself in the shed, with the radio on and a cup of coffee, and I lose track of time. Some of the parts take some persuading to come out of the cut-outs and it's no good using brute force as breaking one of the pieces would cause problems. Everything fits together superbly, and it's great when you start to see it shaping up. I love them, and going to spend a fortune on them in the future, but they are worth every penny.

Arrived a day earlier than expected, very well packed. I have made two kits from Ugears and this is similar but more complicated. To date have managed to assemble the gearbox for the drive mechanism. Great fun and cleverly designed. Find I must wax every gearwheel and bearing to ensure the mechanism will turn. But then it does work. I would have thought it a bit too complicated for a 14 year old unless really committed to modelling. It needs time and patience and I find it a challenge and relaxing. Would thoroughly recommend.

A great wooden model kit which is definitely worth the money. Some parts are fiddly to do and having an understanding of where to put pressure on parts to fit together is an advantage. The instruction booklet is easy to follow but the mirroring part could do with actual pictures to follow to ensure all is correct.

goed te doen

Idéal pour se reposer l'esprit, c'est vraiment ludique et cool de voir la maquette évoluer. C'est un très bon produit qui permet de faire de belles œuvres. À recommander.

Schöner Truck, Schwierigkeit des Zusammenbaus würde ich bei 4 (1 für leicht bis 6 anspruchsvoll) ansiedeln, Qualität ist Top, Preis Leistung ist auch gut, Passgenauigkeit ist gut.Ideal als Zeitvertreib bei schlechtem Wetter

Veramente non serve colla, solo tanta pazienza e cura nei particolari. Bel passatempo. Due, tre giorni a tempo pieno.Alcune parti sono molto delicate, utilizzare sempre carta vetro e cera fornite per gli incastri, gli elastici sono difficili da tagliare e annodare. Prendere anche il rimorchio. Lo completa.

Instructions were very clear and all parts were quality made.
