Adam –
Great kit! This thing is amazingly detailed and I love all the articulated features. I can’t get mine to actually run, but I just wanted it on display either way 🙂
Only flaw (pretty substantial, in my case) I can see is that it should include more substantial axels so I can stop stabbing myself with toothpicks repeatedly. It’s INSANELY hard to get 3-5 toothpicks through 8 separate sandwiched layers of plywood without breaking them, even after waxing them up. Needlenose pliers just crush the toothpick and make them too weak, and trying to tap them in with a hammer often blunts the ends or breaks the toothpick. In some cases, you finish a gear assembly only to find the axels are now to short to sit in their receivers, and you need to pull it apart and start over. Would love to see some sort of different or larger hardwood used, or maybe just make the holes a little bigger to reduce the force required to assemble.
Other than that, great! Would recommend!
