– CubicFun 3D Jigsaw Puzzle Rome Colosseum National Geographic 131 Pieces | DIY Building Model Kit, STEM Art Project for Kids Ages 8-12, Italy Landmark Puzzle Gift for Boys Girls & Adults

This 3D puzzle of St Paul's Cathedral is wonderful; the level of detail is incredible for a puzzle from the interior artwork and window panes to the brickwork and roof tiling, and the construction/'architectural' design of the puzzle makes for such a marvellous and enjoyable project putting it all together one piece at a time. The pieces themselves are made of EPS and foam board, which makes them lightweight and pliable whilst still being strong enough to easily support the entire construction once fully assembled. The pieces are not 'regular puzzle pieces', instead the pieces are numbered, bespoke pieces that primarily intersect, which means each section requires something a little different. Constructing the structure is somewhat challenging compared to 'normal puzzles', but if you/the recipient has any experience with other construction models (Airfix, etc) or is simply able to follow instructions to the T, then they'll be absolutely fine, a child could put this model together (provided they had the attention span). When fully assembled the entire model, inside and out, put together or opened up, looks simply superb! I am genuinely astounded by how great it looks, somewhat because my girlfriend and I have been building it whilst getting totally hammered, but mainly because I skipped over a fair amount of the instructions, yet I still have essentially zero complaints with how it looks or feels; it is solid even when manipulating the opening section, I am just so impressed!

I bought this model to do with my dad over lockdown etc. The instructions are clear, and easy if followed properly. Some fiddly bit, so if you have big fingers, you'll need an assistant at some points. :) Two things I wish I knew at the start: 1) The sheets are split into two categories. I got stuck on page 2 because my number 30 looked nothing like it should. You need to know that there are two types of boards, one with sticky back and one without. They are identified by round and square printed numbers both in the instructions book and on the sheets themselves. If you get to page 2 and it makes no sense, keep flicking through the boards towards the back and it will make sense. 2) The windows needs to be applied so that when they are on the board, the letters printed on them are back to front as you are looking at them. This allows a thin plastic (at first unseen) film of plastic to be removed from the back of them after application - makes it much brighter, but I didn't realise until I'd done the first set of windows. Generally whilst it's not easy enough to put together in a couple of hours, like the London Bridge one, as long as you follow the instructions to the 'T' it's perfectly achievable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that has a fleeting interest in this sort of thing. Difficult enough to keep interests, but not so difficult that you give up. I'm half0way through, and it looks amazing - really impressive. (I used the £8 off voucher and took out the credit card offer to pay £11 for it in total).

This is a great model to make , not necessarily easy , so take time in building and be patient

Amazing fun I had it built in 4hours and 30 minutes it’s fun and easy to do

Pure quality product. I loved every minute of this and only wish there were more available to make!

Easy to follow instructions.. have some tweezers at hand for small pieces. Paper and foam construction but solid

I found this puzzle did not come up to standard expected. Pieces do not stay together as they should do. Need, in my opinion to be glued. Exposed lining of product can be seen when items put together. Some excess product outside of distinct building work can be seen too easily. Difficult for elderly person to assemble.

Brilliant

Very interesting 3d puzzle worth the purchase and time.. will keep adults engaged for 2-4 hours. A good purchase and worth the money, good quality

molto ben fatto, facile da montare.

Efectivamente se realiza en una diez horas y es espectacular, le voy a poner luz para que luzcan las cristaleras. con luces está genial.

Purchased as a gift. He loved it and has it displayed.

Mycket fin produkt, lite svart att bygga men det är värd att jobba med den.
