UGEARS Triceratops

Bigger than I thought. It was a great project to put together. Be patient it takes time to make. The finished product is great looking.

This cute little guy took a long time to put together but trundles along nicely.. 4 stars for the model and the Ukrainian person who designed it (in the middle of a war.) Note that part of the proceeds go to the Ukrainian war/peace effort. This makes the price (which is reasonable) trivial.

I can’t even count how many of these things I’ve made, and this was definitely one of my least favorite. I love dinosaurs, so I was really looking forward to this one. UGEARS is normally the brand I use, so I knew what to expect wood-wise. Steps 2 and 3 took me FOREVER, and I think that’s what messed mine up in general. I messed up where to have the notch part at the end and I had already broke one of the pieces to hold it where it was supposed to, so I didn’t bother fixing it. Huge mistake. I gave up on seeing if everything moved because nothing was moving. My fault for messing up the head part, but so many pieces had kept breaking that I couldn’t fix it without running out of extra pieces.

The model was one of the most complex I have ever assembled compounded by poor and confusing descriptive illustrations. I had to take apart and reassemble parts several times because the instructions were not clear and without sufficient detail. The model when assembled is very impressive but any small mistake can cause it to be inoperable. Avoid the frustration .

- Made in Ukraine - Does not come with glue - Does come with a bit of sandpaper and a wax stick This is the first 3D I've done from this brand. It's decent quality wood, very little knotting and, most happily, no scorch or burn marks. Cuts are clean. There is a "helper" tool that helps you get the smaller parts off the board. This one is pretty complicated. I'd put it at "hard" difficulty level. The spring that comes with is quite sturdy and should last a good long while.

I like to have games and puzzles at my place for when my nephew visits. This particular one seemed a little advanced for his age, but I figured we could work on it together. We're probably about 1/3 of the way finished after two visits, so we have a ways to go. It's been really fun so far, though. Some initial observations: The design on this puzzle is so impressive. Each new thing I learn about it makes me want to purchase each of the different models they sell. I already promised my nephew to order the T-rex once we finish with this one, but I might grab the dragon for myself, beforehand. Initially, I though they were a little overpriced, but having worked on one in person, I've changed my mind. The end result alone is probably worth the price, but the experience of putting it together is worth so much more, imo. Easy 5/5 stars.

Complexity: This is a fairly complex building project, so I'd recommend it for 10+ year olds to adults; or, 8+ year olds with supervision from an adult. Instructions: While this is a complex building project, the instructions are very well done, and clear. Finished product: The finished triceratops looks amazing; it's very much worthy of displaying! Overall: I put this together with my youngest nephew. While this building project was above his level individually, it was a great project for the two of us, and we had a great time building it! Highly recommended 5 stars

Well built pieces, thicker wood, but very difficult to assemble due to the extremely tight fit between posts and holes. You must wax every post and it is still difficult to fit together, requiring extreme pressure, but don’t break it! The assembly instructions are very bad. When you get to the last 2 assemblies of the thighs and legs you will not understand the awful pictures. You cannot determine what attaches to what. The fits are so tight that when completed it would not move under its spring power. Also, this took me 40 hours and this is my hobby for 50 years!!

Ich war wirklich erstaunt, wie gut die Qualität des Holzes war, obwohl der Preis so niedrig ist. Die Anleitung war sehr leicht verständlich und ich saß gute zwei Stunden an dem Triceratops bis er fertig war. Werde auf jeden Fall wieder Holzpuzzle von Ugears kaufen

Maqueta de Ugears. Buena calidad. Montaje con cierta complejidad. Marca de calidad

Regalo per un nipote sembra ben fatto speriamo sia anche spiegato in modo chiaro! Vedremo!

Il funzionamento del movimento non funziona

Another great model from Ugears. This one will test your skills. Use plenty of glass paper and candle wax to make gears and legs work smoothly
