Review: This one should not be your first - This product and all of the Metal Earth items are not toys. They are an intricate model that takes patience and skill to complete. They were not FUN to put together but challenging. The result s very satisfying and the models striking. Do not give this to a child or anyone who has a short attention span or gets frustrated easily. They are fragile before you start building, during the building process and after. The metal bends very easily and care must be taken to properly shape those pieces that require shaping. The right tools are essential. You will need fine needle nose pliers, tweezers, straight edges for bending, a shear cutter to remove the pieces from the metal sheet and a good magnifying lamp. The effort will be worth it. For your first model you should choose an easy one such as the Washington Monument. Then you can graduate up to the more difficult . Stay away from the tanks until you have gained some experience. These are not your everyday kits.
Review: Very good - Nice christmas present

Nice christmas present

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ In the end I really enjoyed putting it together
*by O***S on October 16, 2016*

I have somewhat mixed feelings on this product. In the end I really enjoyed putting it together, it was challenging but still doable in a few hours. I disagree that it is possible to do using a needlenose pliers, I would recommend having two tweezers on hand instead. Be sure to fully look over the directions and understand what the steps are. I took off a star for two reasons: it is a VERY small model and someone with large fingers might have problems with assembly (this is not a problem I had but is something to be aware of) and the design of the prop attachment could use some work. In the end, I glued this portion on as the way they want you to attach it is not really feasible given the delicacy of the model. Overall I had fun putting it together and it looks great, but it could be a challenge for some. I learned a lot from the assembly and will change how I do things for my next one!
