Description
- [ Vintage Temple Model ] – This 3D puzzle is inspired by the Horyuji temple in Japan. The retro and realistic architectural style reflects the exquisite craftsmanship of mortise and tenon in religious buildings at that time from the side. Meanwhile, multiple hollowed-out patterns and overlapping floors not only highly restore the real object, but also enrich the layers of the model.

- [ Challenging & Rewarding Assembly ] – Such wood craft not only promotes hand-eye coordination, improves intelligence development, but also builds parent-child harmony. Before you knew it, hours would have passed. It was so soothing and absolutely a great way to break from electronics and the hustle and bustle.
- [ All-In-One-Package ] – Detailed illustrated instructions, together with all necessary parts, and some spare parts. Which does a favor to you to better experience the fun of mortise and tenon craft during the assembly of the five-storied pagoda.

the pieces are well marked and organized, it has some really small pieces that need patience, I used an x-acto knife to help some of the pieces out but other than that everything was included in the box

Great cuts, easy instructions, but when doing the first roof of the building it’s to loose of a fit. I had to apply UV Glue to put everything in place and not let it fall a part. They need to re check there cuts and/or change to a harder wood. I recommend doing both. Thanks, I’ll most likely buy again from them, but if I get another issue like this one. I’m gonna be super pissed off about it.

What a wonderful way to spend a snow day! Took us all day. It is made of thin wood that has been beautifully decorated. The hardest part of the entire project was following the instructions as many of the pieces look the same. Look for the numbers on each piece of wood in our case we could barely see them. Otherwise a fun project with a beautiful finished product

This item was purchased as a Christmas gift. He was excited to receive it, but he did have some pieces that broke and he had to glue them. There were some of the pieces that seemed to be cut a little off near the top which caused it to tilt a little towards one side. He did enjoy putting it together though.

The instructions are well laid out to easy follow. Wood pieces are easy to remove and easier with no tear out if you score the attached points with an xacto knife. If you take into account that the wood is thin and some pieces fragile you won’t break any. I find that a little wiggling of the piece into its slot makes it easier and smoother to fit.

This was fun to assemble. Instructions are clear and understandable. Some pieces are a little delicate so be careful how you handle or you’ll end up like me and end up using gorilla wood glue to fix it lol. This did take me a full day to assemble because of the breaks I had to take for my shoulder and neck (injuries from the past).

I had a lot of fun putting this together. You really have to be careful with the pieces, I kinda broke a couple but no real structural damage. Turned out great, I love it.
my reviews –
We bought this for our nine yr old who is very interested in building things. He completed it no problem with no complaints. Looks great!

I am not a delicate person (fat fingers 😂.) however this build wasn’t too hard for me and my kids at all. They popped the pieces out and I assembled them. I only broke 3 pieces and had the wood glue right there to fix it. You honestly can’t even tell I broke the pieces. Took a little more than 2 hours to complete and is gorgeous. Very intricate!

amazing puzzle and it was really engrossing and fun to do. a little delicate yes but still sturdy enough to handle the pressure. came with sandpaper to make the pieces easy to fit in. but really enjoyable product

The parts are quite thin, but with some patience, a hobby knife, and small amounts of wood glue, this kit is a lot of fun to put together. The base and first story are pretty tricky, but the other four levels are more or less the same. They are still a challenge, but are relaxing to do.
Overall the kit is well engineered, but I would highly recommend taking your time, using a hobby knife to cut the pieces out of the wooden “sheets”, using a bit of wooden glue to make sure all the parts strongly fit together, and sanding down some of the parts that are an especially tight fit, to avoid parts from breaking or cracking. I broke or cracked 3 or 4 parts, but none of them were critical to the structural integrity of the kit, and again, using wood glue made the whole thing fairly solid. It took me about 5 or 6 hours to finish.
I’d recommend this kit over the two “boat” kits I made in the past; this one is less finicky and more impressive as a finished product.

Vraiment très beau !!!
Mais je recommande un peu de colle à bois rapide …
il est possible que des tenons se brisent …ou que des mortaises aient un peu trop de jeu , alors , à l’aide d’un cure dent en bambou pointu (Dollarama) ,il faudra déposer une petite goute de colle à certaines places …
Sinon , au final , une teinte a bois acajou (BMR) et un vernis (acrylique satin) rendront l’objet somptueux …
Lors de l’assemblage ,j’ai collé avec de l’époxy, au centre, un petit Buddah doré acheté ici même (vendu par 2 (10$) … 😉
ajoutant au réalisme !
Je conseille fortement de coller au moins les deux parties de la base entre elle …
et plus particulièrement tous les tenons qui maintiennent les panneaux de toiture … toutes les pièces qui servent ,par dessous , à leur maintient,doivent être collées …
sinon ,les efforts exercés lors du positionnement des étages suivants désolidariseront les parties basses non collées …
régle : si ça force : insistez pas !!! c’est fragile !!! utilisez une lame fine de cutter pour créer des petites facettes sur les parties rectangulaires rentrantes ! et ajoutez une goutte de colle à bois .
ça rentrera tout seul et sans forcer !
J’ai utilisé de la colle de charpentier (un peu jaune)… colle très très rapide ! et invisible après séchage (Rona , Reno dépôt , BMR etc….)
Bon montage !
