Awesome Machine!

I've been building models and miniatures for over 50 years and I have to say this was the most fun, most challenging, and most satisfying one I've made yet. The pieces are precision and the instructions have excellent diagrams making this a superb miniature piece of engineering. I love watching and listening to it operate. I'll be getting Aetherwings to ad to it soon.

Beautiful Craftsmanship

I have just started on this model. (First of what will be many) All I can is I am beyond impressed. The quality of the parts and how its set up to build I am super excited to see this thing built. Ps they add a "Wingman" to take you aggressions out on. They seem to have thought of everything. Thank you.

Confusion makes it interesting.

My first time building this kind of model. Since this is not a known machine and they use random parts, you never really know what you are building, which makes it more interesting I think. If you were building an aircraft or car, you would know where most of the parts go but here it is not obvious. Enjoying the build so far. The kit is well put together and the instructions are clear although there is no text, only pictures.
