ROKR Teen's & Adult's 3D Wooden Puzzle Box Model Building Kits

Pues ya está terminado!!!Una tarde y una mañana de entretenida manualidad. Viene todo en planchas muy bien troqueladas.Las instrucciones son claras y el resultado espectacular.El problema es que hay que ser muy meticuloso con las medidas de corte de los elementos de giro.Es el primero que hacemos y un fallo de corte hace que el mecanismo se quede encasquillado en alguna ocasión. Desde luego no es para usarlo todos los días.Apto solo para "manitas" y personas con paciencia.El resultado merece la pena, eso sí.Si te resultó útil mi opinión no dudes en dejar tu voto. Gracias!!!!

The thin ply wood is precision cut to form the curved corners but are easy to break while and after building, especially the lid.The combination lock is quite tricky to assemble and also take at least a few practices to get used to the operation.The central main locked compartment roughly measures 3.3cm x 3.3cm x 3.5cm.The top circular unlocked compartment with shutter style door roughly measures 1cm deep x 3.3cm diameter.More like a toy than a practical treasure box, fragile lid corners and limited storage space.However, the design is very clever and the finish is very elegant if you manage to finish it.Instruction is pretty clear, just pay attention to all the details.

building it requires to cut small pieces of wood by hand a lot which is already a bit hard but the worst comes when having to undo and place parts A5 and A6, which are extremely fragile and supposed to be able to fold... only to break easily at multiple places despite being folded very slowly!

My 5-year-old godson is delighted with this, and so am I. Obviously he needs help building it (it's supposedly for ages 14+) but one-to-one guidance is all for the good. It's encouraging all sorts of motor and reasoning skills, and he's learning to importance of checking diagrams and delayed gratification, far better than if I'd bought him something easier and left him to do it himself.Some of the parts are very small and fiddly, and there are lots of ways to get it wrong, so it needs patience and repeated checking of the instructions, which have so far been excellent. I also requires care to ensure such tiny parts don't get lost, although the kit does include spares of most parts – possibly all of them, in fact (I'm not sure). Some of the parts need gentle sanding or wax lubrication before they will fit (wax and sandpaper are provided) but not excessively, so this hasn't been too frustrating – although a child on their own might find this annoying. Seeing a functioning combination lock actually come together has been as interesting for adults as well as kids.I expect I will be buying more kits form the ROKR catalogue in future.

This is a stunning thing to make, the mechanics are awesome. It is difficult, I made it with my 10 year old son, most parts were too tricky for him to do alone, but he was amazed by it. The ply does break easily, it is incredibly delicate. However, we managed to superglue the bits that did accidentally break without it even being noticeable. We mastered the coding if the lock and managed to get it working after a few attempts- we needed Daddy for that. The instructions aren't the easiest to follow and lots of re-reading and double checking was required.Thoroughly enjoyed building this with my son. 100% recommended if you have patience and a fascination for beautiful things.
