Question:
What are the dimensions when it's built?
Answer: Assembled Size: 8.9 x 6.0 x 6.5 cm -
Question:
For avid builders. What was the most difficult and largest Metal Earth have you put together?
Answer: I have successfully assembled at least twenty architectural models, but I found this one, my first MetalEarth model, impossible to assemble. Folding the metal at the creases proved impossible: the tabs would not bend to fit into their slots correctly; and everything became bent and unbuildable. I've got to believe that the completed models that we see in the ads were not hand built, but machine built. Even after taking great care, and using the tools suggested in the instructions, the model came out as bent and unsatisfactory. I'll never buy another MetalEarth model kit again.
