UGEARS

Bought for my boyfriend. He loved it, definitely took longer then 8 hours so even better in my opinion. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I prefer this over the one Lego made with it's eye watering price tag and all the plastic of course!

Excellent produit. Rien a redire. Il faut lire la notice et ajuster les pieces avec soin. Ne pas hésiter à utiliser le papier verre sur certaines pieces.

First of all: Slava Ukrainie.
I bought this set a while ago, sadly my mail review does not work. Anyway, building this model was HUGHE fun. Do NOT expect the set to run free of issues, this is WOOD. I had a piece of wax from a chinese model which helped a lot. Don't know wether a real candle would have worked as well. The most fun for me as a kind of an engineer was the actual gear, I rebuild it five times so it was correctly assembled and fit, also in the frame.
To bad it's done. A special gimmik is the gear moving the top doors of the tender.
Using tooth picks is a great idea, opended my mind for simple solutions. If one breaks (or even more) you find some in your kitchen in a drawer. IF you inserted some wrongly, yu can use a dremel or proxon with a 2mm drill to oben the connection.
I also like that there are some replacment parts.
Tips; use wax when installing tooth picks on the picks.
Heat the wax with a ligher, especially with the gear wheels. it'll cover the wood and then add some more.
If a tooth pick does not fit, try another one, there is quite some tolerance to the diameter of such material. eventually you'll find one that prvides a good fit and is not too tight. Do NOT use force! A small pair of pliers helps.
To UGears:
Check your assembly manual, some numbers (one or two) are not correct.
Have it checked for usability/comprehensiveness. At some (rare occasions) I had difficulties to follow the instructions.
Add a piece of wax.

great work, good prescision, great fun.
Too bad it 's done.. I think I will got for the marble towers next

Have look at

This is the best of Ugears spring-powered models. It was a good time putting it together. I was amazed at how well the electronics worked with minimal hassle. Finally a spring-powered model that works well. A+++

Awesome build....so much fun

UGears is my favorite kit company. I have dozens of finished kits on display. This one was an easy one I picked up to fill some spare time.
Well, by the time I opened it up, I had decided to make it far more challenging.
Had I left it alone and assembled it as designed, this would have been done in an hour or two, with no complaints about the typically high quality materials.
Turns out, however, that carving every scale and feature on the dragon and the box with a dremel requires extra patience! In the end, I was able to stretch this project out over 5 weeks. Oh but it was worth it!

The Ugears catalog is great! So many models to choose from and you can find you skill by looking and reading about the models. Some have instructional videos and they are most helpful.

Ugears models are absolutely the best to build. I’ve been building their models for years and have tried some of the other companies, but I find that the Ugears models are far superior in both instruction and materials. This model was really a great one to build and came out very well.

What a great puzzle. Really liked this one.

De 10 impresionante.

It was a birthday present for my boyfriend and he loved it! Eventhough it is an advanced level, each step is explainded carefully, which makes it so easy to follow. Every detail is perfectly taken care off and it does move smoothly. The only downside is that you have to be very carefull no to break any pieces while taking them out of the boards.
We had suck a great time building it together!

But I think that must be a 4.5. That's very interesting but it works not so perfect. There are some problems. But at all I think that's great for this type of puzzle!

I am sure that is absolutely great !
But it is a Chrismas present for one of my daughters, so I did not give it to her !

Amazing build and service
