It will make a great Father's Day gift. I won't know if the item is good, easy to put together or missing pieces until afterwards. My advice to future customers....order well in advance if you are planning for this item to be a gift. Or have a backup plan in case the item doesn't arrive on time.

GBThe colored train looks very impressive… The colored train looks very impressive when completed but the motor movement and lighting were an issue. I have built most of the Metal Time kits with great success by the wheel assembly was a challenge to get to operate properly though I was successful in the end with some modifications. One of the light bulbs did not work and the other used the train frame as a ground. The painted pieces insulated that from working. Overall still looks great but not for beginners.

GBThe more difficult, the better! I'm in the process of assembling Polar Express and waiting for Caspian Monster to arrive. I did Ukrainian Dream before and always enjoyed those models - excellent design, clear (almost always) instructions. I certainly hope to continue playing with those toys. The only thing I'd recommend - to create more high-end models with difficulty level 7+. Thank you for your engineering skills and beautiful designs.

GBAd Astra Model Very fun to build & a beautiful model when finished. I built this one inside out like I did the Nautilus because I like the look of the etched fold lines against the polished stainless. It also takes a little more thought process to do that beyond the original instructions because you have to reverse some things!
