ROKR 3D Puzzle for Adults 469pcs Electric Vintage Car Steam Engine Model Kits, Mechanical Wooden Assembly Puzzles Vehicle DIY Hobbies Christmas Gifts for Men Women

I loved building this little steam engine. The parts are all well cut and fit together with very little sanding or adjustment. I especially love how detailed and intricate the design is, and that the pieces came in different colors to add contrast and make for a great display piece once assembled. Instructions were clear and easy to follow.This kit comes with everything you need right out of the box, but I did add a dab of glue very occasionally just to add stability. I wouldn’t say glue is necessary though.I like to take my time building models, and I finished this one in about 5 days, working on it for just a few hours each day. Already looking forward to the next kit from this brand!

I've built several Rokr models. All of them were excellent in terms of cost and the detail that each model has. The instruction are thorough and the parts are of very high quality. Great fun for a retired guy and my grandchildren love them.

If you like a challenge, you will love this kit. Instructions are clear. The pieces come of the sheets nice and easy. If you are new to this type of kit, try something else... or, really take your time. The finished product is outstanding.

Its really great..but move slow...parts will break.

I bought my engineering husband this for Valentines Day. He put it together right away and bought a plastic cover to put over it so he could display it. He really enjoyed putting it together and it looks great in his office.

Not for a beginner in wooden puzzles takes creativity in putting together without breaking something. I enjoyed the model fun to build be patient.

I have built 6 other Rokr products and all included good materials, clearly written instructions, and pieces that fit together well. I looked forward to this model and I did finish it but it tried my patience. Like all Rokr products, it's important to read the instructions and follow the prompts, this set of instructions were often confusing, particularly the illustrations. Upon opening the box I carefully reviewed all the parts that were included, however many were mislabeled and I had to hunt around to make sure I had the required parts to begin. Rokr parts have always been well made, in this case, parts were flimsy, often not staying attached to the section you were working on, I have never had to use quick drying glue to hold sections together on all my other models but with this one I had to use glue to stick pieces together in critical sections. I also found there were fewer videos available to help construct areas around the back half of this model. Some parts that were used to join pieces together did not hold and I was forever having to double back and reattach critical areas. The illustration on the videos shows an assembly to attach the cart to the steam engine, there were no such parts in my model. As for working, some sections do but the gears did not match up properly to move the model. The smokestack was a bear to attach and I broke an already weak axle, but glue and a narrow aluminum strip enabled me to put it together....even stronger than the original piece. I did finish it and cosmetically it looks fine sitting on a display shelf. It appears to me that the designers of this model tried to do too many things that potentially could cause a problem in building, it's the first kit that I have had a problem building. I like the looks of the model and the colors, but it was a difficult build.

A fun build results in a nice working model. There are lots of small screws. I had to reinforce a few joints with CA glue.
