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!

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.

FRI obeyed the little voices in my head Remember my 1st review ? Those little voices ? Well, I surrendered and here I am, watching THE second box, concentrating before starting. Again, it may take time as the magic happens. Again. I'll let you know. I promise. I'll add pictures. I promise. "Maudite Mathilde, puisque te v’là".

GBThe kit was in fun packaging and seemed… The kit was in fun packaging and seemed to have everything you needed. Folding some of the larger pieces, specifically the sides of the lighthouse, was a disaster. The engraving on the sides was much softer and maleable than the creases where you should fold. There didn't seem to be a way to fold the tower without the engraved panels themselves rounding. The spaces between the panels should be the easiest to fold. I have a small sheet folder for lithographed brass but it just wasn't big enough to go around the large multipanel piece. It doesn't have to be too easy, but I still don't know how I would make that fold and I am not a beginner modeller.
