Metal Earth Seattle Space Needle 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

This product and all of the Metal Earth items are not toys. They are an intricate model that takes patience and skill to complete. They were not FUN to put together but challenging. The result s very satisfying and the models striking. Do not give this to a child or anyone who has a short attention span or gets frustrated easily. They are fragile before you start building, during the building process and after. The metal bends very easily and care must be taken to properly shape those pieces that require shaping. The right tools are essential. You will need fine needle nose pliers, tweezers, straight edges for bending, a shear cutter to remove the pieces from the metal sheet and a good magnifying lamp. The effort will be worth it. For your first model you should choose an easy one such as the Washington Monument. Then you can graduate up to the more difficult . Stay away from the tanks until you have gained some experience. These are not your everyday kits.

This psc looks nice in the picture but it horrific to try and work with. The pscs are sooo small and flimsy they kept breaking off. The whole psc is super tiny, deceiving to the eye. It was the most frustrating experience I ever had in putting something together. I went to LOGOS and purchased their space needle to assemble and it was easy to follow and the pscs were easy to handle and put together. Would definately recommend LOGOS space needle

The detail of Space Needle is similar to the real one. The parts are very easy to break. It should be stronger than these. If you can make this bigger and stronger, I will order it. Even though, the price is getting higher.

My 2nd Favorite 3D puuzzle. SO awesome until ONE step !!! Because of only 1 step, It became nearly impossible. And so... all of the metal eventually snapped and I skipped it. Surprised, because it was a Metal Earth product and could not bend more than 2x at this step. But, I managed to make what looks like the Seattle Space Needle.PLEASE CONSTRUCT OF STRONGER METAL AND LONGER TABS.Whether you are a Novice or not, Longer tabs are necessity and creases/bends need to withstand more than 2.This only occurred once during this puzzle and not in others... So, I hope it's a random occurrence.

I got a few of these for my boyfriend while he was deployed to give him some entertainment. He seemed to really enjoy them and asked for more. When he got home he finished one that he had left over, and it seemed to only take him 30 minutes or so. Good quality item, and fun for people with mechanical minds.

I opened the pack and went to put it together and it fell apart

This space needle is super small but it worked great for my son's project 😁Little difficult to put together but once you figure it out its not bad I recommend watching the you tube video its really helpful

Patience is key when putting this model together. I purchased this model for my 4th grade son social studies project, we found the most tedious part of putting this model together were the first 3 steps. It took about 1 1/2 hours minus the breaks we took.
