Metal Earth Windmill 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

For a long time, I've been pretty interested in these little metal models. A few weeks ago I bought the Chrysler Building. Now I am absolutely in love with these. By the time I built this one, I'd already built several others, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa (which taught me a lot about what mistakes to avoid).I had an absolute blast building this, but I wouldn't recommend this as the first model. Some of the directions are not particularly intuitive and it helps to have experience with other models before trying this one. If you've built a couple of others, I highly, highly recommend this one.

Very fun to make! The pieces were tiny and required a delicate touch. Easy to follow instructions. I found using the tip of an exacto knife and small needle nosed pliers worked well for folding the tabs and bending the metal evenly. I did scratch the metal in some places with the knife but mostly on the bottom.

These metal models are very tedious, but lots of fun. I haven't assembled this one just yet, but I'm expecting it to be little different from the previous ones I've done - a whole lot of squinting to see the little tabs, and a lot of bending things with tweezers. In the end, though, they come out loking pretty darn cool.

Nice fun and easily to assemble.

excellent. I am collecting these all. i love them, tiny little metal works. I have made several already and plan to make several more great deal... probably for older kids. Patience is definitely needed for these. My opinions are my own an not of others. I opinion-ate my own stuff. I get from no one! Well worth the buy!

I loved putting this together! The windmill turned out super cute. I was a little skeptical at first. I wasn't sure what it would look like. The blades do not turn, for those of you who are wondering. It was a little difficult to attach the shaft part to the building, but it finally went together. I think this is one of the harder ones, at least for myself. But, I think anyone who enjoys models or metallurgy would love doing this.

These are really fun puzzles that will hang around after assembly as cool mementos. My STEM-inspired granddaughter enjoys them a lot as well.

This model looks fantastic when complete, and I found it easier to put together than the one I started with (the Mitsubishi Zero). The instructions are very clear and easy to understand, as you assemble different components before attaching them. I thought the recessed windows were an especially neat touch.
