TIMBERKITS Ocean Motion Automata Scenery Mechanical Wooden Puzzle-Model Construction Kit, Wood, for 9 to 90 years

Instructions inaccurate but we'll worth the effort

Great when painted, works well.fun to make.

I thought I would make something to wile away the time and entertain the grandchilren and this proved to be a hit.I painted all the bits before assembly and let my colour blind imagination run wild.It was really enjoyable to make and it is satisfying once it is all assembled to see it working.My next kit is on the way!

This is a very nice kit and the instructions are very good. It looks a bit boring if you don’t paint it, but it is essential to paint it before you start construction. Unfortunately I didn’t and it was very tricky trying to paint it after it was finished.

The media could not be loaded.  Really enjoyed painting. Acrylics and water based varnish work well. Fiddly assembly but enjoyable. A little bit of separation of veneer on back plate but little bit of glue and paintbrush fixed that. Going to do London next.

excellent wooden moving model ( automata) with lots of different ways to decorate the levels /layers to adjust how it looks . Good idea to stain/colour wood before you glue together . Smooth down pieces gently to get the best fit, be careful some are very delicate.

A great idea that looked promising,Disappointed with the quality as one of the sheets of wood laminate was warped and had been scorched by the laser cutting and had peeled apart.Enjoyed putting it together but found because of the imperfections is difficult to operate.

I bought two of these to give as gifts. I know from past experience they are beautifully designed and engineered and appeal to all ages and interests. I shall be buying more.
