This clock was something I looked at for a while before actually purchasing. Clocks can be so unforgiving! I had already completed the Galaxy Marble Run and the Dragon Castle (which I loved) so I decided to go ahead and give this clock a shot! I wasn’t disappointed. I decided to take the time to stain each piece, which I definitely recommend. It just adds a beautiful flare to the project and lets you decide what you want your finished piece to be. Mine turned out to be exactly what I wanted! ...

One of the pictures shows me and my parents and a Battalion Chief at the Roseville Fire Department where after successfully building this beautiful piece I donated it to show my appreciation for towards the Department that rescued my family in 1991 from a carbon monoxide poisoning in our home. This puzzle/model is a wonderful piece and was amazing to put together all the details are just stunning. Thank you Wood Trick for creating this puzzle for all your fans to build , Everyone I show these t...

I had bought a marble run for my elderly father a couple of years ago. After he recently passed, I wanted to do one on my own, in his honor. Apparently I chose one of the hardest models -- the mechanical mustang! No, I wouldn't recommend this one for beginners. That said, after much trial and error I finally completed it. The final piece to the puzzle -- when the horse kept getting stuck before it made a full revolution -- was the shoulder blades and hind leg equivalent. I realized after much ob...

I had a great time building this truck ! It was challenging and fun. I only wish it was easier to put the spring in place easier. Trying to install it I broke a part and of course it wasn’t one of the parts that came extra. So I had to order a new one and put my building on pause. New one came in and it broke again. Not sure why maybe it’s my fault. Either way i skipped the spring and finished the truck without the wheels moving. This was my first time doing a wood project and it won’t be my la...

I'm about 1/2 way into the offshore drilling rig. It's very complicated so I'm going slow. The piece fit together perfectly (very tight). The complexity of this model is amazing. All the gears and bushing that must be sanded and then waxed is unbelievable (by the way...they do not send enough sandpaper and wax for this project.) The guy in the YouTube video does it in 9 1/2 hours. I don't see how. I probably have 9-10 hours into to it so far and I have a long ways to go. This rig is not for chi...

What an awesome model to build! Incredible detail. Fantastic engineering, fabrication, and instructions. I love no toothpicks, and very few rubber bands. With a dab of paraffin, the parts snap together perfectly. I like the spring drive as opposed to a wad of rubber bands. But suggestion to future builders: Be wary when "unpacking" the spring ... its highly compressed. gloves and eye protection are advisable. Also, when installing the spring, be patient ... it isn't real easy. My nep...

This item was a delight to build. It was relaxing and yet held a little bit of challenge in that thete are a lot of small pieces going off in different directions. Careful observation of how these parrs all connected together is required. I found that the application of color before the parts were released from the sheets to be useful and then only detail colors. The pieces are smallish but they were laser cut very well so not much pressure was required for their release. LED lighting, ribbons, ...

I had a lot of fun building this pick-up truck. This is my second kit with a spring assembly. It was much easier the second time, only taking about 10 to 15 minutes compared to over 1 hour when I built the Space Junk Robot. What took me the most time was hooking the end of the spring to the piece of wood. Each door opens, and after winding, the passenger front door is actually the "switch" that controls the movement of the car. It has 4 wheel independent suspension with the tailgate and front ho...

What a masterpiece of engineering, fabrication, and creativity. Thank-you for hours of joyful assembly! Fantastic model that children and adults will enjoy watching. For future builders: 1. It is very helpful to look ahead a few pages to see how the part you're building will be used and oriented. 2. As others have mentioned, I had to glue a third railing at the bottom of the "rubber band flappers" ramp. Some of the marbles would overshoot. (thanks for all the extra spare parts). 3. I re...
