UGEARS Scrambler UGR-10 Motor Bike with Sidecar - 3D Puzzle Build Your Own - Mechanical Wooden Model Kits For Adults to Build - Moving Engine Parts Motorbike Gifts For Men for Fathers Day- 380 Pcs

I don't understand the negative reviews these models get, this is my second UGears model that I received yesterday, I've been working on it now for nearly 7 hours and have managed to complete the bike, I just need to build the side-car now.These are not meant to be thrown together in a couple of minutes, you need patience, time and lots of care, the pieces are delicate, however I have not broken anything yet, you need to ease them out of the boards, they are laser cut very precisely, only been held in place by a tiny part that you need to gently snap to release each piece. (I've tried to show this in a picture with badly drawn arrows)I'd recommend gently sanding the edges of each part to remove any burs left over from removing the piece, and wax everything that moves aswell. (I found a lit tealight candle and small paint brush very helpful in applying wax where needed)The only negative thing i have to say is the mechanics, although thoroughly enjoyable to assemble, it didn't matter how much sanding and waxing I did, I can't get it to run smoothly, but, with the time and effort it has taken to build these, I have no intention in playing with them, they will purely be ornamental.A few top tips I found helpfull:1. Use melted wax and a small paint brush (tealight candles work a treat)2. A pair of tweezers come in handy for handling the small pieces3. Nail clippers work brilliant for cutting the cocktail stick, instead of a knife)

This model is quite complex .The parts are all numbered and the instructions are excellent with the construction iillustrated with easy to understand pictures .I did not break any parts being very careful and gently teasing the parts from the boards.The detail on this model is amazing with a sprung seat,independent suspension on all wheels and visible working pistons on the engine.It even has a kickstand that works.The sidecar is also detachable from the bike.It worked on completion as I followed the instructions to wax moving parts and lightly sanding any rough bits on the rotating surfaces. The only thing I would change about this model is I would make the sidecar wheel free spinning and not gear driven as it is now as it just adds more fiction to the drive chain.I was very impressed by the ingenuity of the design and the accuracy of the laser cut parts .Don't rush the build,check everything as you go,follow the instructions to the letter and you will end up with a great model that everyone who sees it will admire .

Great project, kept me occupied building with my son. Some complicated bits, but a little care and time makes the build worth it. Sturdy enough to play with a bit, but not meant as a toy, more a model build. Great value for money, between build time and satisfaction when it works a great kit to build

I was very disappointed that this came unwrapped and so when delivered my husband took delivery and it was a christmas present for him, really spoilt the surprise for christmas.Other than this it was delivered on time and hubby has done others in the range and enjoys doing them.

Great item fast delivery lovely when finished

As above really

For the price, you can’t go wrong.

Good model watch the video first gives some clues on putting together
