Some problems with this model:
1.There was no wax included.
2.Some strings were missing.
3.There were some mistakes in the instructions (for example, the incorrect number of pieces).
4.It was hard to extract the parts from the plate.
5.It was physically more difficult to assemble the mechanism.
6.Using toothpicks as connectors turned out to be a bad idea.
7. Joins is too tired. That's why the toothpicks breaks.
Some advantages of this model:
1.It looks cool.
2.It can move, although not very well.
3.It was interesting to build. For example, the first model I assembled was a cash register — it was more interesting and physically easier.

bonjour tout comme le falcon le starfighter s assemble très bien et assez facilement c est un réel plaisir et que dire du choix des couleurs elle sont magnifiques moi qui peint mes maquettes habituellement j aurais eu du mal a choisir.
et vivement les prochaines assemblages.
cordialement.
A few things: 1. It's supposed to move but even after thoroughly checking and following instructions to a T it doesn't budge. 2. It says no glue needed but I had to glue the horns so they would stop falling off. 3. The wooden hook tool broke when using it to stretch rubber bands as instructions stated. 4. The stand it comes with that you put together keeps falling back from the model's weight and not holding it off the table. All that said, it was fun to build and looks great. I like that it came with line to hang it from my ceiling.
Excellent detaill, easy assembly. The frame on the one I built is now painted in gunmetalmetallic gray. It will be one part of a promotional display for the 2026 Watch City Steampunk Festivaal.
Always a real pleasure to solve these puzzles, the last one :the clock and in addition it really works.
A very interesting product. Special thanks to the developers. Everything is thought out down to the last detail. I have a collection of your advanced models. I plan to purchase a V8 Engine in the future.
This is my second Ugears model I have built. Learned from the first one to make sure you lubricate with the wax a lot. I watched the video and mine does not move like the Hexapod in the video. On mine each set of 3 legs on each side move together and not independently like the video. Any idea what I did wrong? Or is that the way it is supposed to work.

Amusing, fun to build.
Along with the Steampunk submarine and the 2.5D zeppelin kit it will be used at multiple events to advertise the annual Watch City Steampunk Festival.
Really great product. Just read and understand each instruction and you will be fine.
Very nice!
You have to follow the directions closely. You still may need to adjust the gears once it is set up. Be sure to wax the “shafts” to make this easy. Shafts = toothpicks.
Not hard (a bit harder than easy). Take your time, use care and it comes out nice!
I wonder if painting it would enhance it.
I think this is the most usable and displayable Millenium Falcon there is in that price range, and even better than some more expensive ones, in my view. The ingenuity of the model and its mechanisms is wonderful, and I think it represents a leap from other Ugears items in terms of sophistication. On the other hand, it's a bit difficult to put together, but not more so than other complex Ugears builds.
Definitely anadvanced build (not for the faint of heart)! This is my first Ugears project after doing six of a competitor brand. I find that the instructions weren't as detailed BUT the parts are much more sturdy. Actually thepanels are at least twice as thick.
I have it completed but I have a couple of gears jamming and Ihaven't found out whichones they are so it won't operate (annoying) but I will figure it out.
One other thing I discovered is that the "lock" is just a hair too long making catch on the drive gear!
Try it if you dare and want a challenge!

🔷 Building this clock was a huge challenge for me. At first, I could only get it to run for about three hours. But after disassembling it several times, applying wax, and sanding some parts—especially the hour-hand mechanism—I finally got it to work! As the photo shows, it ran for an incredible 6 hours and 25 minutes with the engine turned off!
After tweaking a lot with the pendulum, I was also able to achieve a difference of only 4 seconds compared with a stopwatch over that entire period!! This is a fantastic piece of engineering, and there were times I truly felt like a clockmaker 😜. It gave me many hours of fun during and specially after its assembly.
Thank you again, Ugears! You're geniuses! 🙏
Good job UGEARS!! 🙏 This vehicle's assembly was a brilliant and surprising, specially the back chain. It's the most complex model I've ever built, with the highest number of pieces. After finishing, I had to remove the front wheels to polish the wood and apply wax so they'd roll smoothly. Attaching the spring was one of the most challenging tasks I've faced in my 10 wooden puzzles. I finally got the tricar to travel an incredible 5.30 meters 😎!!!. Can anyone beat that?😉G
Superbe montage , aucun problème, une fois terminé, impossible de faire avancer la voiture , trop d’engrenages je suppose.
Mais quoi qu’il en soit superbe modèle.
This is a second Aero Clock that we have put together.
It worked as soon as we put the weight on it. We are monitoring the clock to get the time adjustment just right. It was assembled over a leisurely 6-day period with an about an hour or two per day. It is working perfectly with the balloon dropping each hour. The instructions are very clear, but you need to proceed carefully so everything goes together as instructed. We are very happy with the clock with the gentle tic-tock.
Now, this one is my favorite of them all!!! Not only has great looks but works great too!!! I did order another one to build and race them against each other!
This is a fun puzzle. Not too difficult if you follow the instructions. More importantly, make sure you sand and wax all round parts and the holes they go into; along with all gears. Sometimes sand between teeth to make sure there are no wooden remnants. It moves down the hallway fast. I can't get it to walk slowly. You will need to run the gears while holding the hexapod to mesh the gears to run smoothly several times.
This is a great little puzzle! I enjoyed putting it together, and it looks so good. It works very well as a nightlight, and very nice just sitting on a desk. Not for those wanting something quick and easy though - lining up 20 tabs requires patience!
I don’t know what inspired me to buy this—I haven’t thrown a paper airplane in 20 years—but here’s my assessment. It’s a unique looking device and propels the glider quite nicely. If you’re stuck inside for a bit, as I have been, completing this one will feel like a challenge well done.
A fun, fascinating, and useful puzzle! It's a challenge, though not a difficult build. (Follow the instructions carefully!) It's fun to show, and a secure storage. An excellent buy!
