First Wooden Kit

I finally bought the Space shuttle mechanical! Ive been wanting it for quite awhile and have seen people say its a troublesome kit or is quite difficult for a beginner, but i am going to try it out for myself in a few weeks and have 2 more wooden puzzles coming soon..including the christmas tree mechanical and the Sakura treehouse…lets say my bank account is £85 down :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::face_holding_back_tears::heart_hands:

Thanks! I did try to get the kits for cheaper so i won all the christmas tree and Space shuttle on ebay bidding and the sakurs treehouse was bought for £19.99

I’m looking forward to your progress in Space Shuttle kit. I hope that everything will be working fine. :blush:

This is an amazing model. Follow instructions down to the letter and be sure to sand and wax well. Once I got past the initial testing (which took me about 30 attempts), it was smooth sailing.

Thank you for the tips, i didnt know you had to sand anything down but i definetly will do it :heart_hands:

If you don’t sand AND wax, you will not have a working model

Just make sure to sand and wax the sliding part well as it makes or brakes your build.

You’re right, this set seems difficult because I’ve seen many people have questions and need help.
