The media could not be loaded. This project was very satisfying. There were times when I assumed how a part or parts would go together. When something didn’t fit properly or was interfering with another part I found out it was me that made a mistake.I had a lot of fun putting the colors on parts. Sometimes I would look ahead and pre-paint parts with spray paint. Then I would have to wait a few days for the paint to dry throughly. Most of the time I used Artistro oil based paint markers.When this 3D aquarium was done it felt very solid and worked smoothly.

The media could not be loaded. Fun to build and easily my favorite mechanical wood toy produced by any of these companies. Very ingenious how the fish move side to side as they "swim" clockwise and the center-positioned seaweeds move counterclockwise. Suggest you use beeswax (such as that from lip balm) to lubricate all parts that the instructions indicate should be lubricated (lip balm beeswax worked much better for me than did the wax supplied with the kit).

I love building these types of things, so I’m willing to try anything. This one was okay until it got to the outside piece, aka the part that stands out the most. I’m gentle when putting these together, but those outside pieces were not my friends. The top piece broke, so it was a little off, but I made it work with some glue.

Just finished the aquarium. The engineering of this product is remarkable. All 325 parts fit together precisely. A few were quite a tight fit. sometimes a little sanding helped. I did use a needle nosed pliers a few times, especially toward the end when you need to fit some pieces into tight places. Several times I thought there was a mistake in the instructions or a piece was mislabeled, but every time it turned out to be my mistake. Take your time and follow the instructions EXACTLY. Mine did balk at turning at first (Test it as soon as the base section is complete.) There are a lot of wooden parts that need to move. I just looked for places where there were parts rubbing together that weren't supposed to be touching. I found them and pushed on parts to free the up. Also the moving parts need to wear into each other. I just kept puttering until it moved freely. Truthfully I am amazed that with so many wooden parts so close together that this thing works at all, but it does. One thing that really surprised me was that the fish are articulated - they wiggle just like a real fish!

This was a gift for my brother in law . He loved it ! So , he will be receiving another 3D puzzle for his birthday ! He enjoyed the puzzle very much .

Challenging to put together but that’s the fun of it. I am disappointed the mechanism doesn’t work. Before adding the fish it worked fine but it’s like it’s not powerful enough to make them rotate. I even took it apart and re assembled when it wasn’t moving because I thought there could be friction somewhere holding up the gears. I sanded and waxed everything. It’s nice to look at but it’s too bad it doesn’t function.

The media could not be loaded. I am a retired stained glass builder. I miss using my hands. These puzzles can be challenging but UGEARS are the best one’s out there.

I have done many of these wood puzzles, and this is the best. First, the pieces are thick and do not fall apart when somebody next door sneezes.Second they fit together snuggly, not to tight or too looseAnd most of all, the company stands behind their product. I did have one piece that needed to be replaced and they sent it to me free. I might add however that it was shipped from the Ukraine so it did take about two weeks to get here.The only tricky part was the first few pieces. Make sure the opening in the middle of the screen is wide enough to except the parts that fit inside.

Purchased for my husband for his Christmas gift. He really enjoyed putting this together and has been eying up more.Good quality and entertaining for him to put together. It’s still on his bedside table.Nice gift

Assembling was cool. Had fun with it. However with my set there is something minutely wrong and only when I hold a particular part down or press on it, it works and winding. And I have to prompt it also bit by bit. It doesn't run smoothly for me. Worked fine when the bowl top part wasn't fixed but after that I have this issue. Would've been truly cool if it worked freely.

Très beau mais une galère avec les arêtes des poissons vu les petites pièces... Sinon, magnifique quand c'est fini

The media could not be loaded. Très belle maquette à fabriquer mais qui demande beaucoup de persévérance et de patience si on veut que le mécanisme de mouvement des poissons soit optimal. Une fois réussi, cet aquarium est du plus bel effet et j'ai eu aussi beaucoup de plaisir à le customiser comme vous pouvez le voir sur la vidéo!
