- Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2023I enjoyed doing the assembly in general. It helped to have the pieces labeled where they go on the connecting pieces whether by color symbols or by the numbers. The puzzle was mostly grey which can be intimidating and there were pieces I had installed backswords and had flip them around mostly when doing the support strips between the bottom and top hull pieces at the beginning when connecting the large panels for the length of the puzzle.
The most difficult was installing the panel pieces that were large. Trying to line up the tabs were difficult and a lot of my tabs were bent when trying to assemble previous sections. The engines were also difficult for me and I had glue the pieces as the small circle pieces with the locking tabs are so tiny they bent easily.
Lastly I could not do the two shield generator domes at the top of the puzzle. They were so small and broke easily. The puzzle looks good without the two generators at the top of the bridge though.
I use a hot craft glue gun with the glue sticks during the whole assembly as the glue is quick to try when applied. The downside is it leaves strings of residue I need remove and some parts of the puzzle have glue blobs but helps keep the puzzle together. I also put lot glue on the tabs and when doing the flat panels for the decoration at the top of the hull.
Overall was a good build I likely only will do the once. It was challenging for a 39 year old but I managed but not perfect.
Be great if the stand had tabs that interlock on the bottom of the puzzle instead of just having the ship sit on it loosely. Have it off the stand as taking it to room basement for display.
Attaching some close up pictures where can see the glue and the top of bridge where I am missing the shield generator domes.
