Metal Mechanical Wasp Black Golden

Excellent 3D puzzle with a beautiful finished product. Many of the leg joints do not fit well - too loose - causing it to be floppy and unable to stand when complete. I ended up taking the legs apart and using small pliers to squeeze the ends together slightly to ensure a snug fit. See photo, tighten all this type of joint end as you go. It now stands perfectly. Also, the nuts do not stay tightened very well, so I followed a tip from another reviewer and put a dab of finger nail polish on the tip to hold them fast. I gave it 5 stars because it is doable, and is so pretty when finished, but it is a challenge, to be sure.

Very nice product, parts were very well made, instructions were precise in order to build the product. It's a nice ornamental piece and people always ask where it came from. Building it required some time and ability to handle pieces like very small nuts and bolts but the end product is worth it..!

Great, challenging, high quality, puzzle that looks great. I would definitely recommend as a gift for older kids and adults. I’m in my 60’s and couldn’t put it down until it was done.

Great model. 10 out of ten. Not too hard but still challenging.

Love the puzzle, and the quality of the all-metal design. It was a lot of fun and was a decent enough difficulty to keep me busy. It’s heavy, and a decent size for my office as decor. Would be a great gift for anyone that likes puzzles. I would have given a full 5 stars if the joints in the legs were a bit better, as they were too loose and would not lock. So it looks squatty when put down.

Fun and easy build! Instructions were easy to follow and the kit included plenty of spare parts. Just a heads up though, the legs have difficulty standing up on their own. I personally made my metal wasp a stand out of a piece of wood and several small nails. Looks awesome!

This is a very complex model and provides hours of fun, a couple of things that I might add to help a future builder is; have a set of reverse tweezers, a couple very small drops of superglue and a micro screw starter. Items will come in very handy.

Attention to detail. During assembly you must pay attention to proper assembly, proper parts, proper orientation,,, . Follow the directions or you will have to disassemble to a point to get the end product correct. That's what you by this for. Takes you mind of everything because you need to pay attention. Putting it together is not hard, use the tweezers. The wasp looks and feels so cool. It's motivational watching it come together. Now that this is done and I made some personal tweaks, I would like to do another puzzle build like this but, not that the wasp is small but I would like one bigger yet just as complex/intricate!

el rompecabezas llego antes de lo esperado, muy bien empacado, es cosa de que lo armen ara ver si no falta al guna pieza, pero por el servicio que dieron no creo, el rompecabezas muy bonito y precenta un muy buen acabado.

This model was ready to go, everything including the tools were there. It is an amazing model and looks superb. Can't wait to finish it.

great item, highly recommend.

From the videos I watched I thought this would be a bit larger but it does look like a challenge which is why I purchased it

You have to be very precise with the assembly but the end result is a beautiful model Wasp that really becomes a coffee table piece or a display cabinet model to be admired and not played with. About 10 hours of assembly time, a steady hand and good bright desk lamp would help.
