ROKR 3D Wooden Puzzle for Adults-Mechanical Car Model Kits-Brain Teaser Puzzles-Vehicle Building Kits-Unique Gift for Kids on Birthday/Christmas Day(1:16 Scale)(MC401-Grand Prix Car)

Great quality and fun to assemble.

spare parts added, and no glue needed.recommended

This puzzle was genuinely enjoyable to put together, and I'm very pleased with both the experience and the end result. Some of the pieces, especially the bendable ones, are quite delicate, so it takes a LOT of mindfulness and effort not to break them, but the piece I broke was able to be fixed with a bit of careful gluing and patience. There are a few spare parts, but not of the most breakable ones, but that's understandable. Generally great, but just be sure you're extra, extra delicate, and cut out the pieces using a small blade if you're not 100% confident that it'll come out easily in one piece.

When completed this ROKR Grand Prix Car 3D puzzle is a very rewarding experience. With only 220 pieces this is not a complicated, time consuming build. 95% of this puzzle is very well designed and engineered resulting in fit and finish that for the most part is very well achieved. There are, however, a couple places where I suggest caution. The seats, the body shell and the rear fascia are each scored to allow each of these pieces to bend and take a final curved form. To prevent these pieces from breaking where they are scored, I suggest lightly rubbing them (top and bottom) with a little warm water and then allow them to soften before assembling. Step-10 of the assembly (when the build is about 90% complete) the exhaust headers are to be inserted into the exhaust manifold which was assembled way back in Step-5. The exhaust headers are curved and have tiny "barbs" on both sides of the end that is to be inserted into the manifold. The curved shape is weak because is runs across the grain of the plywood. The "barbs" make this assembly very difficult and making this assembly with the exhaust manifolds (left and right) already in place is nearly impossible. I suggest carefully cutting the tiny "barbs" off the sides of the exhaust headers ... and ... "dry fit" (then remove) the exhaust headers into the exhaust manifolds in Step-5. This should result in a very rewarding build.

My husband and I enjoy putting these together. We’ve done several now. You just need to have a gentle hand and loads of patience. They’re a fun activity to do together.

This car is very well done. As in all wooden models take the time to use a pointed exacto knife to cut the little support nicks on the back side, the give a light buff with sand paper. Just a note that this same model is available elsewhere for 13 dollars. Couple of parts are easily broken so take care with the small items, I used a toothpick to ream the hole small holes out a bit. You may also need to glue some pieces. Take your time and you will rewarded with a nice build.

Beautiful workmanship. I only wish it had been larger size. Definitely worth the price.
