Piececool3D Metal Puzzles for Adults, Ladder Truck Fire Engine Model Kits Building, Challenge to Assemble DIY Craft Kits, Best Birthday Christams Gifts - 354 Pcs

Beautifully detailed, higher quality with thicker metal than other brands with less tendency to break when bending. With that said some of the pieces are very tiny and I highly recommend using some sort of magnification and a set of round rods (available on this site) for shaping the pieces. It is a hard kit to build and I would rate it higher than a 4 in difficulty. I have worked on it for about 5 hours and have less than 1/2 completed. I will follow up when finished.Update. I am now about 75% completed and have to change my difficulty rating to near impossible. Some of the pieces are so tiny (5mm round) that you have to have jewelers or micro surgeons hands to shape and insert them. In addition, you need a lot of light and magnification. I only recommend this for adults.

The best thing about these Piececool kits is that they are more challenging and time consuming than other kits. All the pieces are labeled properly and the build was great.

Wanted to try a 3D metal puzzle since I love doing 3D wood. Firstly, I was surprised at how small the finished product would be. (Sorry I didn't give the pictures more scrutiny). Secondly, the pieces are SUPER TINY. Much smaller than they look. Only the smallest tools can even hold them. Thirdly, the slots where you have to insert tabs....wow! Imagine threading a needed....then reduce that hole size by 80%. Not kidding.Pretty sure I'll never finish it - the struggle is real! Not enjoying the headache from the magnifying glasses. Half the work is just FINDING the pieces on the board.Hate to rate it so low since it's only my 2nd metal puzzle. I'm sure it's great when assembled. But the challenges + the lack of fun factor = not for me.

WARNING ⚠️ patience required!!! This is a very detailed model kit which takes time. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through and I'm questioning if this kit is actually meant to be built. This kit and fat fingers don't mix well. If you attempt this build I wish you luck... follow the directions and pray you don't miss a step. God bless

The 354 pieces on this kit took me just under thirty hours to assemble, much more than 8 hours as claimed on the package. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed every minute of it. Lots of small parts gave this model a very detailed look. They rated the difficulty at 4 out of 7 stars, but I feel it's closer to 5 out of 7.Piececool stepped it up once again, they printed each part number on the back of the sheets for easy identification. I highly recommend this kit for any experienced builder.

The finished project is about 1 inch by 3 inches.

This was a gift for a fire commissioner.It was very well received!
