I like doing puzzles but this one was frustrating to put the tiny beads into the holders. Did it really bother me, no, but it was tedious. I still really enjoyed putting together. This puzzle looks really cool when assembled, even better then the picture but it wise to get some flush cut snips to remove from tray.

Looks amazing. It was a bit difficult to assemble for me, even though on the box it say level one. As I'm more used to plastic models rather than metal ones. The beads was the more difficult part to attach. It comes with magnets for it to be a wearable, but I use as a nice decoration on my fridge.

Ok…first for the downside. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS in English. If you read Chinese, you will have an advantage. If you enjoy puzzles, this is for you! If you have put together any Ugears models, you should be ok. Pictures….and it doesn’t matter what the language.You will need a set of MICRO pliers and a small side flush cutter. Also, I would suggest an orange wood stick, blunt on one side and tapered on the other. You would have to modify it yourself, a 2” diameter circle of wood about a quarter inch thick and a miniature diamond file to file off any sharp edges after you clip it out of the sheet.. I would also have some gel super glue.And one BIG thing, a must have….a lighted magnifier.Had I not worked micro miniature repair when I was in service, this would have been a nightmare. DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PATIENCE!!!Once the deciphering of the diagrams are done, no real issues. These parts are SMALL!! I worked in my easy chair in a lipped small tray. On the “instructions”, the blue circles mean you lay the tabs over, and the triangle you twist the tab. I enforced with the superglue.One thing I will say, after you bend and manipulate, you may have to manipulate more. I used orange wood stick to help change the shape if you need to. The wood will not mar your metal. You can use the wood circle to move larger areas without damage, rolling it.The last step of putting the magnet in the decorative shell, flatten up one bottom and place your magnet in, roll the side putting in the tabs, then drop the lid and fold the tabs. The magnets are very strong and work well.Overall, I really enjoyed putting this together.Oh, one more thing. The antenna are very fragile. As I was putting on the finishing touches, one of the antennas broke off, so I cut the other to match. Personally, I think I like it better.I enclosed two pixs…the topside and the underneath.

I really like puzzles and this is worth it!

I wanted to try out 3D puzzles and I’m so glad I started with this one! It wasn’t too complicated and the metal was good quality. I will be buying the other bug puzzles hopefully soon because I really enjoyed putting it together and it looks so pretty!

Good concept. But it's like putting tinfoil together. That said I apparently had the wrong tools. Magnifying glass a must and small fingers I'm to old and hands to big,!

Great quality. However the instructions leave you with alot of questions. Be prepared, these are tiny pieces and even littler ways to put them together. It will be a good challenge

Love these kits they are a challenge

Bought this for Xmas for my 20 year old daughter to take back on to university on the plane. She was so interested in it, she built it while still at home and she loved it. It does require a good fine set of side cutters to get the pieces out of the parts frames (they are cut out from small rectangular pieces of flat stock and have small segments uncut to hold them in the flat stock), and then small needle nose pliers to assemble, but otherwise are pretty cool.

I managed to make this despite having arthritis

Very happy and it's a great gift

Gift but recepient not able to complete as pieces very small.

I just wanted to make some cool fridge magnets. I bought the set and can't even put one together bc the instructions are so bad. Not for beginners.
