Highly enjoyable and satisfying kit. - Do not pass this one up due to the price! It is a good value for what it provides. The quality of a U-Gears kit is better than most other brand kits I have experienced. Not a single piece broke during assembly. But there are plenty spares included. The 108 page instruction manual provides clear photographic details of assembly with available videos of critical and/or complicated steps. I enjoyed every hour of this build. The details are too numerous for this review, but when wound up and started, not only the wheels turn, but the engine pistons all function, and even the radiator fans turn. The instructions call for several timely tests of each function as you complete steps of assembly. They have even provided solutions for common issues found during a test. This is definitely not for beginners. Review: Fun Build. Not for beginners. - Difficult Build. Beautiful end result. My main complaint is when a part needs to be a mirror image of a previously built part, the instructions just give you a range of part #'s instead of step by step instructions. I'm somewhat dyslexic when it comes to diagrams, so this caused me some problems. After tearing it apart a couple of times, I finally got it right. Also, the tabs on the seat cushions were much too large for the holes they needed to go into. After a little sanding, shaving, and waxing, I got them together. All in all, it was a good project. Not recommended for beginners. ## Features - FOR PASSIONATES: If you too are a miniature-builder passionate and you love spending peaceful Sunday afternoons working on DIY projects, then we have a unique and special piece to add to your already-established collection: a plywood UGEARS roadster mechanical vehicle. - A GREAT PRESENT: A father, grandpa or even boss that is passionate about miniature models and building premium mechanical toys are always difficult to shop for, but from now on you have found the one piece that they will surely enjoy making and driving, a rubber band engine roadster. - COMPLEX DESIGN AND MECHANISM: Not only is the VM-01 model made with premium plywood, a resistant yet flexible wood that will pass the test of time, but the roadster is actually functional due to the integrated transmission alongside a rubber band engine and a suspension on the front wheel. - A FAMILY PROJECT: Instead of watching TV and doing the same-old activities with your family, why not show your kids the fun of building exquisite wooden models, with a DIY that can involve the entire family? And, after the building is over, you can turn on the roadster and even watch the engine working and the valves moving. - A BEAUTIFUL HOME DÉCOR PIECE: After the building and testing part, you can re-try the model as many times as you want and pilot it due to the transmission that switches to 3 different modes (forward, backward and idle), yet the wonderful clear wooden model is great as a piece of home décor too, showing your passion for sports car and miniature models. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DNDRTRM | | Additional Features | Functional Transmission, Rubber Band Engine, Suspension, Family Project, Home Décor Piece | | Age Range Description | From 14 to 85 years old | | Art Craft Kit Type | Wooden 3D Art Project Kit | | Best Sellers Rank | #60,054 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #271 in 3-D Puzzles | | Brand Name | UGEARS | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,090) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04820184120815 | | Included Components | 437 pieces | | Item Dimensions | 14.88 x 6.69 x 1.65 inches | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | UGEARS | | Manufacturer Part Number | 70052 | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | VM-01 Roadster Auto - 3D Holzkunst DYI – Modellbau Projekte für Erwachsene und Kinder - 3D Technisches Modell | | Model Number | 70052 | | Number of Pieces | 437 | | Product Style | VM-01 Roadster Vehicle | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 11.8 x 5.1 x 3.9 inches | | Subject Character | Mechanical | | Theme | Car,Love,Vehicle | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** From 14 to 85 years old - **Brand:** UGEARS - **Color:** Clear - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 14.88 x 6.69 x 1.65 inches - **Theme:** Car,Love,Vehicle ## Images ![VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BL2Xjj8zL.jpg) ![VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oEc8gooJL.jpg) ![VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819ROngYn6L.jpg) ![VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zhY6bHN4L.jpg) ![VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61clZXVqbnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the country of origin?** A: Ukraine.

Not recommended for beginners. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most fun model *by D***E on February 25, 2022* This was the most fun model I've ever put together, including Metal Earth. There are so many movable Parts on it, so it's a challenge but at the same time the directions are so well done that when you see an error it's your fault because the instructions show exactly what to do in full color. It runs good but my shifter is loose so I have to make sure that the gears are engaged correctly in order for it to run. The windshield wipers are really cool, they are fragile so you have to be careful while you are assembling the car. All the features work very good and it's very fun to show. Very complicated so patience is needed. I did sand off all burrs, and it's a good idea to wax all moving parts and where they touch a flat surface. The waxing they say to do but it's up to up to figure the best way to do it. I used the wax stick that comes with it for the flat surface and a toothpick and lit tea candle for the gears. Rather like painting the melted wax on. In the picture I show some of the things I needed. The wood glue is for one time I broke the tool they give you (which is essential) and another time one of the parts broke a little bit when I took it out. But those were both my fault. Otherwise no glue is needed but good to have on hand. I started using a razor blade to help break the wood free on the delicate parts. They do give some extra part including both whipers. Overall I would love to put this model together again using some wood stain in colors just to see how it would look with some red or turquoise. This, in my opinion is truly an exceptionally fun model to assemble and show. ## Frequently Bought Together - UGEARS VM-01 Roadster Vehicle – 3D Wooden car DYI – Fun Projects for Adults– 3D Mechanical Working Model Idea – Plywood Material with Transmission Integrated – Great Gift for Car Lovers - UGEARS Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults - Dream Cabriolet VM-05 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults - Mechanical Model Car Kits for Adults - Retro 1950s Inspired DIY Craft Kits for Adults 739 Pcs - UGEARS Classic Model Car Kit - 3D Puzzles for Adults and Kids with Folding Roof and Functional 4 Cylinder Engine - Model Car Kits for Adults 3D Wooden Puzzles - DIY Retro Car 3D Puzzle Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/105786306-vm-01-roadster-vehicle-3d-wooden-car-dyi-fun-projects](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/105786306-vm-01-roadster-vehicle-3d-wooden-car-dyi-fun-projects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
