Fascinations Metal Earth Chrysler Building 3D Metal Model Kit

This is a great model to start with, as it's a single sheet and very straight forward. Not much of a challenge, but then again I had just complete the olf film camera model (GULP).Looks great on my desk.

I found this to be a fun little model with good quality for the price. It is a little bit fiddly to put together but with tweezers, needle nose pliers, and patience it went very well. I would not hesitate to buy any other Metal Earth model that caught my eye.

This is one of the easier Metal Earth models to build. If you like a challenge, this one might not be for you. I however would rather do the easier ones, because the harder models can be VERY frustrating and not fun at all. I only gave this four stars because the model itself is not as nice looking as other Metal Earth models, mainly because there are tabs sticking out everywhere, especially near the bottom of the building, and because the model doesn't really represent the beauty of the of the real thing. It seems that the model designers got a bit lazy with this one.

Although many reviews complain about how fragile this model is, I found that it was easy to construct with a little patience and careful handling. I recommend using a stout knife blade to cut the pieces free of the sheet. I also used a smooth pair of precision pliers with flat blades for the bending. The building gets a lot of attention sitting on the edge of my desk. I liked it enough to purchase more of them.

Very Difficult to put together. Breaks and bends too easily. Need magnifying glass and small plyers to assemble. Doesn't end up as nice as the photos.

Pictorial instructions are easy to follow and the kit is well made/designed. Magnifying headset was helpful as the pieces are quite small. Very happy with the finished product.

These are very difficult to create, but are so enjoyable once finished. Has a very accurate imitation of the building itself and looks great on a shelf!
