UGEARS Wooden 3D Puzzle - Triceratops Dinosaur DIY Craft Kit for Adults - Mechanical Model Kit - 400 Pcs

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.

Terrible instructions . pieces difficult to remove from board without breaking

As with any of the wooden puzzles take your time and don't force pieces if need be sand a little to get to fit or you will find yourself snapping pieces and they don't come with replacement pieces. I only found one or two pieces that I needed to modify to complete this kit. It can be a relaxing project if you go into it not rushed. The end result will give your a feeling of achievement.

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 recommended5 stars

I am saving this model to complete with my son over Christmas, but I have read through the instructions and everything seems clear and perfectly organized. Every part and every part board is numbered. The diagrams are great. I am in awe of how much thought and engineering went into the model and the careful documentation. I can't wait to get started on it!

Is it easy to build? No, what would be the point of that? This is an adult puzzle. It requires hand strength and careful attention to detail. It is a journey to assemble the Triceratops and the reward is to see it walk.Some hints:Break out the pieces VERY carefully. The tabs are easily damaged.Follow the instructions carefully.The entire assembly is square peg in round hole. Things can be hard, so don't wimp out.Most of all: Have fun!

An advanced 3 dimensional wooden model of a triceratops dinosaur that is spring driven and walks. It contains 400 parts (plus spares in case of breakage) and includes wax, sandpaper and the spring. It states that it takes about 8 hours to assemble but it actually took longer. Nice directions, very clear and finished triceratops is about 12 inches in length and nearly 6 inches high.
