DIY 3D Wooden Puzzle Mechanical Transmission Jeep

We purchased this for our son for Christmas and he and I put it together this afternoon. Lots of small pieces but the instructions are very clear. You can find a QR code for videos through the instructions for a little more help. Watching it come together it awesome. So many small details and moving parts. Our son is 11 and we had to help with some of the more delicate parts. Great way to spend the afternoon together.

My boyfriend loves puzzles, this one came out really nice, some pieces may need glue to stay in place.

I've done several ThinkPuzzles models, and they are all high quality and fun. The jeep is one of the more detailed and intricate of the models. It can be a bit difficult to assemble, where many of the pieces are thin and delicate and go into narrow places (or at least when old, fat fingers are doing the assembly). But it is worth it, to enjoy the eventual quality of the model and construction. I needed some glue, for a couple parts that didn't go together quite firmly enough, and for a couple parts that I managed to crack and needed repair. Overall, a highly enjoyable model.

It was a fun build but it’s not a first timer build. First, tools needed is wax, exacto knife, tweezers, finer sand paper and glue. The knife is to help remove parts from sheets, sand burrs off edges, wax for easier connections, some parts need glue but not much. I use gorilla glue but just a drop.
The sheets have a lot of extra parts which you will need in case of breakage, and most important of all “take your time”, if you rush you will break parts. Replacement parts are easy to get but it takes a week or two in the mail.
These puzzles are fun and are time consuming which helped during Covid and rainy days. Have fun and enjoy.

The package arrived on time, which was great because it arrived a day before it was gifted for a Birthday gift. I bought this for my husband who is a truck driver and enjoys working with his hands. First thing of the bat, he loved it. He thought it was very cool, and that same night he began building it. A total of maybe 5-6 hours to complete (done in three days, so about 2 hours a day). The instructions were clear, the packaging was good, and I enjoyed that it came with a few extra parts of the fragile pieces (some break, we used gorilla glue for those). We did use a pack of handy tweezers to take out some parts, it helped with the fragile pieces. Overall he enjoyed building it and the end result is super cool. We will be adding wood polishing to protect it and are looking into our next project.

My father had an absolute BLAST building this. He has Parkinson's but figured we'd give it a try. He used tiny dabs of super glue as he went so it would hold together as he worked on it. A couple tiny mishaps, but it did the trick. What a fantastic, fun, and entertaining gift this made! Great cure for COVID lockdown boredom :)

Overall I found it was a fun build to complete during my free time. Some of the pieces were quite delicate and you have to be careful when popping them out and also when assembling but most of the more delicate pieces had multiple copies so it was manageable. I did have to glue one piece back together and the piece holding the steering wheel popped out more than once so I glued that in place but besides those two I didn't have any problems. It took me a longer time to finish since there were so many pieces but that made it more enjoyable and fulfilling when I finished. It's a great gift to give to someone who enjoys 3D wooden puzzles. I personally bought it to assemble it and give it as a gift to a relative who likes model cars and the like because it felt like a little more of a personal gift when I've made it myself and I think others would find it the same.

When completed this ThinkPuzzles model is a very rewarding experience. My first attempt working with 3D wooden models. Found it relaxing and enjoyable as well as challenging and rewarding. The completed project was strikingly beautiful and was confirmed by all that viewed the finished piece. The level of difficulty was moderate and challenging at several points but with concentration and a little help from crazy glue attainable. The directions were a little unclear at times and took a bit to decipher which way to proceed. All of which kept my thinking cap on!

I love these wooden 3D puzzles and I am really enjoying assembling this one. However, when I was about a quarter of the way through, I noticed one of the boards wasn't cut in the bottom left corner, so obviously, I can't finish the puzzle. Thankfully, the I contacted the customer service and they quickly responded and said they would send me a replacement part. Although it is a frustrating ordeal, I am very pleased by the response. I can't wait to finish this!

Most complex Rokr model I've done yet. A few gotchas in the instructions if you aren't paying attention, so pay attention. Trouble with engine hood tabs on vertical sides, so I cheated and snipped them off, still holds together good by the time the fender assemblies go on. When finished I hit a few places with a spot of glue so that handling wouldn't cause unplanned rapid disassembly. Fun project.

Fun model to build, delicate pieces but if you're careful it's will fine. A little clear coat and it's awesome
