This was my first time doing anything like this. My family and I each got a different one for Christmas. We had so much fun! Highly recommend! Also the Deck Box is super cool! So I\'m sure with someone who is familiar with doing these sort of things it would not take as long. Lol!!

Let me start by saying I\'m a retired man who\'s addicted to laser cut wood models. Rokr, Wood Trick, Ugears and more. I\'ve built models of all skill levels. This model has lot of pieces but really isn\'t that hard to put together. However, there were some issues. First, the toothpicks Ugears provides are not at all made to the tolerances that the laser cut pieces demand. I\'ve found this in other Ugers models too, such as their Trimaran. The toothpicks in this case were WAY too fat. However, I\'ve purchased generic round toothpicks at the grocery store that fit perfectly! Fortunately I had these on hand. A nice feature in their instructions is that they show you where pieces are located on a sheet. Unfortunately, the illustrations are so small you\'ll often need a magnifying glass to read them. Also the sheet numbers were not clearly marked on the wood sheets. The drawings made it easy enough to figure out which sheet was needed for each step. As far as the functionality of the moving parts in this model, pieces moved as they should if you\'re careful during assembly. However they are not durable enough for much handling. The stress on some pieces of thin plywood is just to much....and yes I lubricated everything properly. Another feature that would be nice is a parts list. None is provided. They supply some spare pieces but there\'s no way to know what or where these pieces are. The sheets merely randomly put a + sign beside extra pieces. My box was also missing one of the rubber bands. One last comment...I stain all my models. Oil based stain is required. I stain a sheet at a time and just touch up pieces where required after assembly. They look so much nicer and more finished.

This is my second UGears product... Last year my husband bought me the Marble Parkour kit and I loved it so much. I really wanted a Hurdy Gurdy and while \"real ones\" take great skill or cost a mint to own with out even knowing if I\'d like it this one made more sense. So he got me this as my gift this year and I was so excited I even gave it a little color before I began assembling to make it my own! I have a feeling this will now be a holiday tradition cause spending 5-6 hours after holiday madness nerding out on an intense craft project like this is so therapeutic and relaxing. I had so much fun building it and now I just need to teach myself to play it.

This box is beautiful and functional. It was very fun to build

My grandparents got me this for Christmas and I really enjoyed it! The instructions were easy to follow and the end product is pretty cool!

Had a blast building the Amber box with my son for my wife for Christmas.

Picture directions were easy to follow with warnings to make sure pieces are facing the correct direction. Works very well. Fun to put together!

I have ordered many 3D wood products from wood gears and they all have been great. If you do have any problems they are great to work with. Highly recommend!

I received this for Father's day, I loved building it and though it took some time, it was relaxing. Since receiving it I have purchased two more trains

Beautifully crafted. Fun to build. The pieces went together easily and the instructions were fabulously simple to follow. Thank you!

This is a very well done wooden construction kit. The design and function are very clean and interesting. I do have trouble with the rubber band motor construction because the bands have to fit so closely into the end pieces. They also have to be inserted very carefully so as to have the different rubber bands wind up with the same length from one end piece to the other. The gears and the gear supports must be carefully sanded and then lubed with the wax if the gears are going to work as designed. You must carefully study the instructions and follow them exactly or you will get in trouble as I did by installing one of the rear wheels backward, causing me to have to take it down and turn it around so that the wheel will stay clear of the other motion parts located behind the wheel. It is a great deal of fun and I get a lot of satisfaction from the model building. I built and flew many radio controlled models years ago and these models bring back all the fun I had then. I can recommend these models for someone who is patient, meticulous and willing to take the time needed to make a really great functioning model.

This was a great experience and a joy to build. The front wheel assembly needed some troubleshooting. It took me 7 days of a little at a time. Very rewarding.Thank you UGEARS!

I was looking for a new thing to keep me busy during these stay at home days and I\'m so glad I found a add for Ugears models. I had a great time building this model. This was my first model I have built in over 50 years, so i took my time and it came out great. I enjoyed it so much, that I\'m starting to work on the V Express Steam Train.
