I would like to present you with a buildup kit review of a very unusual subject, which I constructed in the last few hours, with some assistance being offered by my wife and daughter. The kit is packed in a rigid box with nice looking photo of a build up kit, with a painting proposal. On the backside, you find the instruction set and part list, as well as some assembly tips. There are no separate instructions. Inside, you find several bags with parts which need to be separated. It is however not very safe, as several parts were damaged by breakage when my daughter dropped the box while unpacking the Christmas gifts.   While trying to repair breakage, some parts were lost to the carpet monster daughter's teeth, neccessitating the reduction of driver's cab height, and in amount of decorative elements (especially chocolate based). I used sugar-juice based glue for build up and decoration. Part fit was so-so. Painting and decoration were done on a fantasy scheme, as no original photos could be located. The figures were provided on the box side and cut out by my daughter and wife.      Fazit: This kit is well suited to introduce the novice modeler, but junior modelers should be overseen by at least two adults to prevent swallowing of all parts before construction.

Great review here!
I'm impressed. We got one very similar for our kids. Of course they can't build it themselves being 2 and 3, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look like a two year old built it. I don't think I've ever been so annoyed trying to build something.

Nicely done Petr!! Great to have the chance to work in different mediums!! Great layout and coloring! Not wanting to sound like a rivet counter...but I think on this variant the pink gummie on the driver's door was about 1/2 mm farther to the back...LOL!!! Great job my friend!! Nothing like a little holiday fun with the family!!

Man I'm a huge fan of gingerbread...bet it was a lot of fun to make and even more fun to 'consume'! I almost took a picture of a cookie set in our local Walgreens...it was for "Ninjabread Men"...both my wife and I had quite a laugh at that one.
