MAKE THIS CASTLE (Cut-out Model)

I like to spend time with the children on craft and other other projects, just to give them some alternative to digital experiences. For our children aged 6 and 9 these Usborne paper castles are a little too hard to build on their own. But with some assistance of me we get quite some way.Moreover the youngest is quite interested in knights and castles was quite willing to assist . The end rests was very pleasing and there is an educational angle to it as well. But what i was missing was plastic toy knight like i used to have when I was much younger. So I ordered a box of 1/72 scale Teutonic knights that fit reasonably well with the castle and can stand on the walls. This massively enhanced the play value. The only problem is the size and scale - what do you do with the creation when it is finished.. ?The set is reasonably easy to put together . Though tit requires much cutting and gluing, it will cost you quite a few sessions. I would recommend a small pair of scissors, sturdy glue that can be applied in a precise manner a metal ruler and a craft knife.We used some small magnetic cubes (available on Amazon) to hold parts together while drying.All in all very pleased. Might try to find some more of these Usborne paper models, the cathedral perhaps. ..

As described- matches description

This is excellent value although not quite perfect. It takes quite a lot of time to get it right and there are some slight imperfections with the base sheets not quite matching up and some colours not always matching on different pages. However, on the whole the end result is great for children to enjoy or for educational purposes. The card isn't very stiff and so I found reinforcing to be very useful. I used thin strips of wood and sometimes card spaced with wooden strips. The base certainly needs a good card base.

I bought this for my 11 year old son, but I didnt think he would be able to cut out the tiny pieces too well on his own. I think this is for grown ups who enjoy model making. It has fantastic pieces and sure will look great. Would need pop out and fold to be completed in my home, never mind, maybe one day. If you do like model making this is the one though! Got a good pridce, well packaged and quick delivery.

Making this model with my 11 year-old son was great fun and provided an excellent opportunity for teaching him the importance of accuracy and care when using a craft knife and glue. All in all a really fun and involving creative task, resulting in an impressive model castle and representing outstanding value.

the instructions can be more user friendly, but the finished product was fantastic, had a lot of ufn putting together with the kids

I got this item to make a start on environment miniatures for my home D&D game and I can say that I am very happy with what I got here. I can kit out a small town for such a cheap price compared to the hundreds it would cost me to get plastic miniatures buildings. I think I will be repeating here in the future.

I’m in the middle of building this. So far it’s quite easy to construct as 3 of the sections (see the photo) are missing and I have double of some of the other parts. Not good.

Esta muy bien y muy entretenido

Alles Super! Jederzeit wieder. Superschneller Versand, reibungsloser Ablauf.Schade, dass es so wenig dieser Art etwas anspruchsvoller Bastelarbeiten gibt. Spielen lässt sich auch damit und so ganz nebenbei lernt man eine Menge über diese Zeit.

Buenos gráficos y buena calidad

El precio está bien pero luego el montaje es algo complicado tanto para niños como adultos porque el material se manipula con dicultad y hay pocas indicaciones.
