Microworld Red Devils Scorpion 3D Metal Puzzle DIY Assemble Model Building Kits Laser Cut Jigsaw Toy D003

I've built many metal models from maplemu, piececool, and microworld and this one is the best by far. Took me roughly 36-40 hours to complete so this is not for the faint of heart. The margin of error on a lot of pieces is so small that the way you lock them together could determine whether or not you succeed (twist or fold the tabs). The finished size is roughly a 12 inch cube so its very big. The essential tools I recommend are some tweezers (point and flat tip), flush nippers, and a mini needle point pliers.My only complaint is that the pieces aren't numbered on the metal sheets so you have to keep referencing the beginning of the manual. This can easily get confusing due to so many near identical pieces. With how tightly the pieces are packed on the sheets, there wouldn't be room for the numbers anyways. This messed me up several times and I easily spent several hours of the total build time just on double checking the numbers.Some tips: triple check orientation of some parts using locking points as reference. Twisting a tab will lock it much better than a fold but it will also make it harder to fix a mistake (you will make mistakes). Some locking points will be very flush with a side wall or will barely stick through a locking hole. Wedge the pointy tweezer in there to shove the tab out far enough to grab with the plier and finish the lock.

I've done a lot of metal earth models so this is the next step up from those. Its nicely made and heavy duty. Instructions are in Japanese though but if you have experience with these types of models you should be able to figure it out just fine. Its definitely not for beginners!! Thank you!!

Pieces broke very easily due to flimsy paper-like metal. Better off with a wooden model. Very unfortunate, was looking forward to this.

This model looks amazing and is bigger then any other I have done or seen. My only complaint is the instructions, some pieces are not labeled properly and many of the pictures do not explain or show what correctly needs to be done.

My wife got this for me for my birthday, and I've been plugging away on it sporadically. There are about a million parts, each one of which needs to be trimmed from the sheet (I used a toenail scissors) and then to have the attachment stubs smoothed away (I used Xuron Photoetch Shears). All that prep work causes things to go pretty slowly, although everything fits okay, except for one part on the mouth pincers which Did. Not. Want. To. Go. Into. Place.So, just because of the number of parts, it's going to be a big big job to finish this baby. I'm going to buy her the biggest, most complicated quilt kit I can find for her birthday, just to get my revenge.

At the expert level I had some issues with the instructions where I had to disassemble and reassemble some parts to get it right. Legs are the toughest at first but get easier successively.

This is a really awesome piece. It took my husband a couple days to build, but it's incredible.

it like tin foil. And if you bend it more then 3 times it snaps. Then its useless. I
