Metal Works London Tower Bridge 3D Laser Cut Model Marvel

Metal Works London Tower Bridge 3D Laser Cut Model Marvel
This was the model I bought from Metal Works (Metal Marvels). I purchased this one from a local gift store, but then I ordered another one from Amazon and it was Metal Marvels – Empire State Building and would like to write my review based on these two models.
First of all it was much more fun and much easier to assemble comparing to Empire… If you don’t have experience assembling small model I would recommend starting with this particular model. Even though it is a lot of parts – it is easier to assemble them.
I would recommend next set of tools to make the process of assembling much smoother:
- Needle nose pliers TEKTON 3511 8-Inch Long Nose Pliers
- Small flat screwdriver Flat Head Screwdriver – 1/4″ Bit – 6″ Shaft
- Tweezers General Tools 415 Utility Tweezers
- Some hard (metal) flat surface to make 90⁰ bends
I have attached some pictures, so you can see how process of assembling looks like.
Model does not require any additional hardware or glue to finish. It is made with high quality materials and looks awesome. I really like how it designed and manufactured. For example, when I was assembling London Bridge I misread the instruction and had to disassemble half of it and then put them back together. I didn’t brake anything while moving parts front and back – which is a really good sign of quality.
I would recommend following every part of the instructions which included with every item. Instructions are very clear and easy to read, and sometimes if you miss-follow them you might need to redo some steps again.
In conclusion, I would like to summarize everything I said before: great quality, design, instructions. No additional hardware required, but you might want to use some tools. A little experience required, but recommended for beginner. It is durable enough, so my cat couldn’t destroy it :)
It is very interesting and nice model. Definitely not a toy, but a great present for 13+ kids who interested in modeling. I will buy more models from this company for sure. Check out my review on Metal Marvels – Empire State Building
