Dream Cabriolet VM-05

Very challenging, access to replacement parts would be nice. Some break easily!

In the process of assembling the car. I lost a couple of fingers a few years ago so therefore I do find some parts difficult to fit. Still I manage. This is my fifth model I believe and although I have had to request spare parts the fun of assembling them is great.
Very pleased with the models, very pleased with the service.

Have assembled many wooden puzzle kits before. This one was unnecessarily frustrating to build. Locating parts on boards took inordinate amount time. Punching them out without breaking them, even after having cut the attachments with a fine blade was difficult and resulted in many broken pieces. The attachments were in the wrong places: at the end of a curved piiece that didn't need to be attached at that point rather than leaving it unattached there. The curved front of the hood broke almost immediately as i carefully bent it (I have never had that problem with other similar parts in other kits) so I just left the hood unfinished. Getting the gears to mesh properly was also difficult at times.
All in all, I did not like this kit - did not feel like a rewarding accomplishment when finished, more like a struggle to get to just finish it and put it at the back of my display of the 15 other kits I have assembled.

This one was a very intricate model, and lots of pieces. It is a very beautiful model when finished. Hood opens, doors open, windows roll up and down, and the trunk opens up. You can even jack it up and change a tire. Very nice kit.

Well designed and engineered model . 5 Stars to your Team .It took roughly a month to build. some frustrating assembly problems with getting the gears to rotate and final assembly rear wheels do not rotate. This is the third UGEARS model.that I have built. Excellent instructions and the video helps with the build.

Absolutely perfect! Can't decide what model to do next. Roadster was the first, and this is the second, so i went straight to the deep end :D

Brilliant design and attention to details.

Go Ukraine!!

Beautiful model, but my enjoyment was quickly replaced by heartbreak when, on its first wind-up, the engine crankshaft snapped and locked up the engine model. If I ever want it to drive, I’m going to have to cut the driveshaft to remove the engine model from the mechanism. Even if I got replacement parts, I can’t see any way to replace the broken pieces without dismantling (and probably breaking) the entire car. Such a letdown.

As always, very thoughtful and detailed design! Son has built quite a few of the Ugears models, but though he worked diligently on this one for almost a week — we just couldn’t get it to roll once complete. Also some of the piston heads seem to fall off with regularity…perhaps a friction issue? We are still generally pleased with the overall quality of product, this one was just a little bit of a let down at the end.

This is a great model. It is fun to build and great to play with. This is my 5th model and I love it. Will buy more.

Dream Cabriolet was challenging and rewarding to build. BUT there were some frustrations that UGear could correct 1) Rubber bands were old, brittle and easily broken. They sent some new, but not quite enough 2) Toothpicks were too thin. I resorted to glue, and then bought some at grocery store which worked 3) In some cases, parts were all over the place. Instructions helped somewhat. Okay, but could have been better
