Metal Earth Eiffel Tower 3D Model Kit

Good value

Anybody who likes making models will love these

Wir haben ihn mittlerweile auf dem Couchtisch stehen. Er war relativ leicht zusammen zu bauen - als Geschenk für ein Kind würde ich jedoch dringend noch die Unterstützung der Eltern oder eines Erwachsenen empfehlen. Die Bauteile sind super leicht zu verbiegen und nur mit einer Zange aus dem vorgestanzten Metall zu lösen. Aufgebaut ist der Eiffelturm in etwa 6cm hoch. Bin begeistert von dem Mini-Eiffelturm, weil er wirklich toll aussieht aufgebaut.

For someone who always have trouble with Ikea product this is a great beginner toy! Finished in about 45 minutes, it’s a pretty display art that doesn’t take up much space.

this was great fun to put together looks great to, just brought some more. would advise using tweezers or something similar to help put together.

Magnífico

God I adore these. This was my fourth Metal Earth model kit and by far the easiest! I would absolutely recommend it as a starter kit for anyone unfamiliar with these models to get an idea of what they involve, if you have the correct tools of course (needle nose pliers, duckbill pliers, flush cutters, and tweezers at the least, though this particular kit needs precision tweezers). Be sure to check the dimensions and images of these first: they are SMALL and meant to be that way! Don't blame a product because you didn't research it beforehand, although I do think Metal Earth would benefit from offering product images that reflected scale. On top of having the necessary tools, understand that these kits take TIME and a lot of patience! This particular kit was pretty easy and only requires simple bends. Below I'll detail some notes and things to keep in mind for this build. The frames around the platforms can be a little tricky to bend at a perfect 90 degree angle without warping. Use the full length of your pliers to bend the entire part straight on two opposite sides first. Then just take the other two sides real slow with the duckbill pliers and move in small increments across the entire length of the fencing. The other thing to note is that twisting the tabs to attach the pieces is incredible difficult with normal tweezers for the ones that come up between the lil fences and the tower itself; I had to use angled precision tweezers that I just happened to have from a soldering iron set. If you don't have these, I'm honest not sure how you'd get those tabs twisted. So if you don't have precision tweezers and don't want to get some, maybe go with the cable car if this is going to be your first kit. But besides those things, this set is amazing for beginners I feel! All the pieces are very large in comparison to other Metal Earth kits, and it is a very straightforward assembly process that's hard to mess up. Just remember to be super careful with your bends: you only get one, maybe two shots before the steel is bound to break. Err on the side of caution with your initial bends and adjust as necessary.
