Carousel Music Box Wooden Model Kits for adults,AMK62

Bought for my partner's Christmas. She enjoys jigsaws and loves music boxes so this seemed a perfect fit. Pros The many individual pieces are clearly identified and push cleanly out of the plywood sheets. Spare pieces are provided for some of the tinier pieces which might break on removal. Plays an accurate version of the carousel waltz. (A poor approximation would have been a show-stopper for my very musical partner) The finished music box rotates and there is a realistic mechanism providing simultaneous up and down movement of the horses The finished item makes an attractive ornament Cons Requires time and patience to assemble A fair amount of sanding is involved - sometimes of very tiny pieces The little crown topper is made of cardboard which might degrade over time and need replacing. This is a tiny niggle but it would have been nice to have a more permanent solution. Overall, this is a lovely item which makes a great project for someone patient and systematic. The cons would only be cons for some. My partner loved this present and still regularly sets it going after a number of months.

Good quality. Quite hard to put together so wouldn't be a good pressie for someone who hasn't a lot of patience. My husband has the patience and has found it very rewarding

Was a very interesting build. I loved the fact, unlike the Starry night build, this build didn’t have those black pop in pieces. Is a fun but challenging build. However , as other reviews have said, the gears at the top that control the movement of the horses seem to make it very stiff and makes it basically stuck and unable to move. Still a beautiful build.

The instructions were great. Some of the pop-out pieces are very delicate, so a craft knife can help with getting them out. When assembling sometimes it seemed to help to sand down the tabs a tiny bit and rub them with candle wax to get them to fit in the slots better. Even so, some hand strength required in places to push items together, and some bits were very fiddly. Very enjoyable to put together though, and the finished item is very pretty and works well.

A well produced accurate kit that works as expected on completion. Assembly can be intricate in places but is well explained with the instructions and available video's (if required). Spares of some of the more fragile parts are provided so there are pieces left over, a thoughtful addition. Best assembled in several sessions rather than one go. All parts are either push fir or held with pegs. A nice change from the plastic kits we are all familiar with.

My husband enjoyed building this

Brilliant bit of kit not to easy not to hard easy to follow instructions definitely kept my over thinking mind occupied for a good few hours

I would of gave this a five stat review however some of the key pieces snapped as I got them out of the packaging so it was rendered irreparable so had to throw it away.

Ser fin ut. Har inte börjat sätta ihop.

Einfacher Aufbau, funktioniert gut.

Cumple todo lo que promete, funciona bien, las piezas bien recortadas y queda fenomenal en la estantería

Il faut le monter avec patience mais beau rendu

In due serate l'ho montata. Possono costruirla anche dei bambini in età di scuola primaria,ma con l'aiuto di un adulto perché alcuni pezzi sono piccoli e fragili.Mi è capitato di romperne alcuni e ho dovuto incollarli con la colla vinilica. Altri pezzi vanno passati con un pezzo di cera(incluso)per fare si che scorrano e non blocchino l'ingranaggio.Poiche',carillon escluso, è tutto in legno. Molto bello una volta finito.
