I've tried multiple piececool puzzles before, but this one was my favorite one of them. It has a very nice packaging, and the instructions are in a nice little book instead of the usual piece of paper. The instructions are clear, but there are some notes in Chinese that you need to translate because they contain important details.There are a lot of details and many hours of fun. I still haven't finished it, but the design so fare looks pretty good, but there are few pieces that are difficult to piece together because of the location of the connections, also when putting together the larger parts, it's a but difficult to keep them steady because the already finished parts are in the way.As for the durability, it's like any othe metal puzzle, bend it too much and it will break, so you should check the instructions well before bending the pieces. You can bend it backwards maybe once without breaking it, but it will still make the corners a bit weak.The size is a bit larger than my previous puzzles, but the package also contains a stand, so it's easy to store.

I love puzzles, and this one def intrigued me, but the pieces are so small and hard to handle with my fat fingers. And directions were very confusing.

Parts and tabs broke easily when assembling. Shaping parts and trying to bend and twist tabs was very difficult in the small spaces.

It’s a great and fun kit to build! I would definitely try another! The durability is pretty good but if you bend the metal too much it snaps. Size is pretty small. The design is so pretty! Would recommend jewelry cutters for this! It’s pretty tricky to build! The instructions were easy enough to read!

Prends minimum 12h à monterComme d'habitude sur les modèles de Piececool, il y a des problèmes d'emboîtements pour les grosses piècesLa base plate du bateau est impossible à clipper intégralement dans les encoches, que ça soit la partie du fond ou du milieu mais les pièces sont moins fragiles que d'habitude (surtout les plus petites à plier)Autre bémol : aucune instruction en anglais à part la première page (d'habitude il y a au moins la traduction des logos en plus des explications)

This was my 4th Piececool kit and I thoroughly enjoyed the build experience. You definitely need the PROPER TOOLS and MAGNIFYING GLASSES - I have a "closeup" pair with clip-on magnifying lens that I can quickly and easily flip down. The instructions are CLEAR and EASY TO FOLLOW; however, having said that I would consider NOT following the instructions when you start to add finished assembled pieces to the decks. The bigger pieces have way more tabs than the smaller items so ADD THEM FIRST. It's easier to handle a deck piece without all the little pieces getting in the way. And it really is easier to work from the inside out than the way that Piececool suggests. The finished model is pretty SPECTACULAR. Don't forget a display case - I found mind on Temu.

Its just so striking and beautiful, and its huge! No part of the model is too complicated, you will be making a lot of the same parts again and again but theres enough difference among the whole thing that it doesnt get tedious

So… this is my first ever model build. I think it’s actually pretty ambitious for a first as I don’t have prior knowledge or skills to build this but I thought it looked cool and decided to embark on this journey and after 5 days of periodically hunching over this thing with an aching back (started on Wednesday and finished Sunday) I am finally done!!! Of course I have errors and mess ups but it’s sort of disguised due to the ornateness of the model. Now, where to start…1. RTDM: a) where there are the same build, and I really do mean the same, just do them all at one go (ex. The tower for Step 72), easier to do the same building in one shot b) seriously, read the damn manual- the part with the 9 pillars really sucked… I didn’t pay attention to the pic in the manual and when it was time to connect x piece to y... well, I realized that the bottom piece was facing the wrong way and when I looked back at the directions and well… RTDM.2. Use the parts pamphlet to cross out parts used, very helpful in the scheme of things. I looked at that first when I needed a part as some parts have them across the metal sheets provided in a-m.3. Lessons learned: a)This really requires a lot of patience and “technique.” Literally, when it says twist 90 degrees, only twist 90 degrees. The angle of the tabs prevent it from slipping out of the tab sleeve. b) I think in the future for my builds I’ll do sub assembly and then once all sub assemblies are completed I’ll do the main assembly. I found that the weight of the build over time put stress on the “joints.” So to work around that, sub assembly prior to the main assembly.

This model requires patience and organization. I arranged the sheets in order, plus I used small diagonal cutters and thin needle nose pliers which I recommend. The instructions are very well layed out and each parts sheet has an illustrated diagram with part numbers separate from the instructions and they use a color coding for simplification. This kit requires patience and a well lighted work area and possible use of magnification to see. Fitting some pieces together is challenging since this kit is built starting with sub assemblies which are later added on to, or placed on the model in stages. Careful bending of parts helps prevent breaking the thin metal. The final result is very impressive though.

I am 76 years old and have never tried a metal model kit before. This one has 709 pieces and was very challenging for a first time project. I purchase the tool kit for assembly which I strongly recommend. Love the finished results and will definitely purchase further kits.
