Highly recommended present for hard to please Dads!
Bought this for my Dad who is in his 70's. He was absolutely delighted and keeps phoning me with updates about his progress. Although he has arthritis in his fingers he is still able to manipulate the small components. My Dad is a retired engineer and isn't easily impressed but he is genuinely enthusiastic about the accuracy of the cutting and the quality and design of the kit. He reckons it will take him weeks to complete and is very happy about that! As far as I'm concerned it's money well spent, he couldn't be happier with his present and it will give him hours of pleasure. Then he will get to fire tiny arrows at his children when they come to visit, which will no doubt delight him further. Highly recommended present for hard to please Dads, but I think I might get myself one of these kits to keep me entertained at Xmas.

Christmas present
This is a Christmas present so I can only review on the fact that it was delivered in one piece, undamaged but don’t have an opinion on the contents yet

A good starter kit.
I'm a big fan of these laser cut wooden kits, and they get more complex all the time, but this working model of a medieval ballista is a good starter set: It does have two different mechanisms included, vertical and horizontal, but they are both along single axes and therefore comparatively simple.Everything you need is contained in the sets, but I would also get a scalpel and some superglue, as some of the parts are very fiddly and can easily be snapped. When you're making, , ensure everything's correct before you move on. You can't really take these back apart, and if one thing is wrong, they don't work. So be patient.30+ is a lot for some die-cut plywood, of course, but the amount of work that goes into designing them and making them function must be astonishing, so you're paying for that, really. I think the time that they fill, and the attractive outcomes, make them worth the expense. This one actually fires arrows, too, and you even get a little Viking.

Hours of fun! Highly recommended.
I'm a huge fan of puzzles, and I absolutely loved putting this one together. It's a whole different experience compared to normal flat-picture puzzles because it's almost like a combination of wood-crafting and miniature-building.The pieces are excellent quality and the instructions simple enough to follow. Everything fits together perfectly.The final result is brilliant. It looks unique on display and I feel quite proud of having completed it all! The fact that the ballista is actually functional and can hurl the little arrows across is just icing on the cake!I think the 2 hr assembly time is a bit optimistic - it took me around 5.5 hours, but I enjoyed every bit of itHighly recommended!If this review helped, please click on the ‘helpful’ button to let others know!
