The Wind Breaker Ship

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!

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.

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.

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.

The language of the instructions were in Chinese but the diagrams and images were in common sense. Was fun learning to assemble as this is my first time doing anything like this besides lego/microblocks. The entire project took me a few hours a few times a week for 2 weeks to finish, I took my time with it and it paid off. Once you place the model on the stand it is quite sturdy and maneuverable. I recommend putting it together exactly as the instructions say but when it starts becoming a larger piece just place it on it's back and it becomes easier to assemble until the end when you place it on the stand.
