Soul destroying
Very challenging, small blocks that have to clip into each other and slide into each other at the same time to 'lock' the bricks into place. The bricks are 'very' small and will make your fingers hurt after 30 or so minutes. Many of the blocks have not been cut correctly off the mould so do not fit well when sliding into position. I spent approximately 20 hours building mine..I only had the head to complete..as the bricks are difficult to attach to the other bricks you have to apply a good amount of pressure to get them to 'click' into place (the hammer is useless and pointless because the structure becomes very delicate) I must have applied slightly too much pressure trying to get the bricks to click into place and the bear came apart in several places. Due to how it is built up layer upon layer by both clicking into the brick below and to the side it is impossible to reattach the broken pieces properly without taking massive chunks apart and trying again..due to the instructions being very awkward to follow and losing track of all the rows and rows of bricks in the step by step diagram..I gave up about 85% of the way through. I was gutted as I'd wasted about 20 hours on it. So I do not recommend this as it's heartbreaking if this happens to you. I took it all apart again and boxed it up...may try again in the future ..but now I know the difficulties of it and how easy it is to see it completely come apart in your hands..I more than likely won't bother!
