Piececool 3D Metal Puzzles for Adults and Teens, Notre Dame De Paris Church Metal Model Kit, Challenge French Cathedral Brain Teaser Architecture Building Blocks Puzzle, 382 Pcs

I am not new to 3d puzzle assembly, but this made me sweat! Spent around 2 weeks to finish which is a very long time for me, but it was totally worth it. The end product is amazingly beautiful

This is only my 2nd model that I have assembled. The first one was the their Sherman (?) tank - very interesting putting it together. You definitely need steady hands and a good magnifying pair of glasses.Notre Dame is my 2nd model. A lot more intricate. Step 1 took me over 2 hours but I think progress will be quicker one the fiddly little bits are done. But hey, what's the rush. I want a model that will be the best it can be; not that I am a perfectionist.Time will tell, but I don't think you can beat piececool models for the price and the enjoyment of building. Done right, it will be a model you will proudly display.This won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Not for a beginner! Start with some simple kits like Metal Earth music instruments and work your way up. I had to buy some tools to do Notre Dame. Some of the parts are tiny. I use a lighted magnifying glass and it is a MUST for me. Knipex needle nose pliers 35 21 115 works well for me. This model is stunning! It is small and compact. You must have the patience of a saint, but it is worth it. Precision is a MUST if you want the finished model to look great.Just finished La Sagrada Familia and it was difficult. There are 18 steeples that are mostly 3 parts and you need some tapered tools to roll them to the correct shape. Lots of bending for the sanctuary around the steeple of Mary.

I really enjoyed.

Came in a nice box and parts are nicely painted. Instructions weren't the easiest to understand and assembly is fiddly at best. Tabs on parts would not fit easily into the slots resulting in broken parts. Shaping the roof parts was near impossible. I have given up on this because too many parts broke and the structure is not stable even when I tried to shore it up with glue. Personally I won't buy another puzzle like this again.

Very small , good design. Impossible to build without the right tools . Some pieces don’t cut clean and need to be smoothened out so that they mate perfectly! Some pieces were just way too tiny for my big hands. Instructions were vague in some places . Overall, took me a month prolly, 2-4 hours a week , completed it but couldn’t assemble it the way intended in some places due to how tiny some pieces are ! Good challenge if you have the patience. Value for money , quality is sketchy especially smaller pieces .
