3D Wooden Forklift Bulldozer Puzzle

Build details: parts are labeled and organized in a very easy to use manner.“A” pieces on sheet 1, “B” pieces on sheet 2 etc…Broke a piece during the build but was easily repaired. Final build is a fun bulldozer.Love building these 3D puzzles.

This is one of my favorite 3D puzzles so far. The pieces were easy enough to punch out, I've had ones where I had to cut the pieces out, this wasn't that bad. Some pieces did take a little work, but not terrible. I didn't have to do a lot of sanding of the pieces either. Some of the pieces are delicate, but there were extra pieces as needed. I don't think I broke any. Once put together it's a nice display piece too. It did take a little work to assemble, but I liked the challenge, certainly not terrible. Giftable for a little bit older, more patient kids up through adults.

I just started to work on the model and so there are no pictures yet of that progress, but I will update this review when I complete this model. It comes with several wooden sheets that are precisely precut and have easy to brake out pieces. All you really need is the included sandpaper to smooth some of the edges, though I admit that a small hammer, some tweezers and toothpicks do make it easier to work on it. The instructions are very simple to follow and work similar to LEGO instructions, as you built the model step by step. So far, I had not broken pieces and it seems easy to assemble. But the good news is that some smaller pieces (which might break easily) come usually with spares.

This is a cool model, and isn't something that will be put together in just a few minutes. Seeing that it's cut from thin wood, some of the pieces can be damaged if you're not careful when assembling. That being said, the listing called it a bulldozer, the box says it's a forklift, and the picture shows some form of front-end loader. Just keep that in mind when you're trying to figure out what you have and why some of the text is a bit... off.

I like puzzles and this seemed like a fun version to do on a dreary day. However, I doubt I would disassemble it and re-do it again like I would regular jigsaw puzzles, so $28.25 for a one and done activity seems a bit expensive. And this is not a bulldozer - it's a front end loader. There's a significant difference! The pieces are indeed delicate, so don't force anything. Definitely giftable to those who enjoy construction vehicles or is an engineer who likes to tinker with 3D puzzles.

The model is well designed and complicated. The pieces are laser cut and very precise. If you line them up properly they fit together perfectly and make a sturdy model.I am so proud of myself for completing this project. Frankly it was pretty hard and I don't recommend it for children. The pieces are tiny and they come apart as easily as they go together. There's a lot of steps. It took about five hours for me to put the model together. It's not for everybody because it takes patience and concentration, but it is great fun if you like this sort of thing.

This was an excellent wood model and weekend project. I want to say it probably took 6-8 hours all together to finish it. The instructions were easy to understand and it was fun to put together. The fact that it moves once assembled is super cool too.Note: This isn't for young kids. The pieces are small and, while I wouldn't say they're fragile necessarily, they're not exactly durable either. It was fine for adult hands and probably for older kids, but it was definitely too much for my 6 year old who wanted to help with it.
