Pumpkin Cart

My husband bought the pumpkin carriage for me and i had so much fun building it. A lot of people are saying that the pieces broke easily… while it is a more delicate wood (balsa I think), if you are careful you shouldn’t have an issue. There was only one piece that cracked which was the heart at the top, and that’s because I was being careless when putting it together. It was easily glued back in place and you can’t even tell I damaged it. If you are not detail oriented and delicate with projects like this, then you might not enjoy the process as much.If you are creative and like crafting, you’ll love this project and you really should buy it!! I used Ohuhu alcohol marker, Sakura white gel pen and Posca white paint pen for all of the design. I didn’t have to sand anything to make the pieces fit, although some pieces connected far easier than others. It’s not perfect, but for the price you really can’t complain. For a more personal touch, I do encourage coloring the pieces to make it unique. Watercolor paints should work well too (I colored everything before assembly) but if you want to use acrylic it will affect the way things fit together, so keep that in mind.I just purchased the airship. If you are on the fence, I say get it. It is 10$ well spent :)

It’s delicate i broke two pieces while building it. But it really cute and detailed.

Adorable, quality product that came with good directions for an easy build. I took my time with it and was able to complete it in a few hours. One note, the wheels move but not as freely as a toy matchbox car, for example. I would have giving it five stars but some of the etched part numbers were visible after assembly.

The media could not be loaded. I started on a Nat Geo Cardboard. This is my first 3D Wood Puzzle. As you will see by my pics I chose to paint. It was a Labor of love. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐭 𝐈 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 for like 15 bucks if you are going to get into this. Why? Because the tabs, well sometimes they do not fit so well and you get an "Ah Poop" Moment (𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞/𝐭𝐚𝐛 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠). So I found before assembling each piece I would just 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. (𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐦) 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐛 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐆𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. I have now built the Clock and have 5 more wood kits to go. Next challenge will be Metal. Yikes

I asked the seller which item to buy when the pictures and text don’t match. They said believe the picture over the text. It worked. I got the pumpkin carriage. It went together fairly smoothly. Better than another brand of 3d puzzles we did in the past. Took about 2 hours with my boyfriend and I working on it together. One of us put pieces together while the other punched them out and sanded the connection spots. There are some really tiny pins that he had trouble with but I could do with my smaller hands. Looked great in the end and felt like happy low-frustration togetherness time.

Edit: It's a shame that Rokr uses these combined listings to sell their products where you can only post one review. I originally reviewed the pumpkin cart, and I've kept that review intact at the end. Unfortunately, I also purchased the piano from this listing, and that turns this formerly 5-star review into a 1-star review.Anyone who has assembled a bunch of these wooden model kits knows that Rokr is bottom-of-the-barrel as far as quality goes. This is why I'll never pay full price for a Rokr kit. The piano kit seems to now be discontinued, and it is being sold by a reseller. I highly recommend going through the reseller, as they tend to be much higher quality than the original Rokr kits. After assembling 7-8 kits from resellers and around 40 directly from Roker, I now this to be fact. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the resellers, and about 1/3 of the Rokr kits have turned out to be junk.The piano kit is the miniature, non-mechanical piano. I paid full price for this because I wanted to complete the "musical instrument" series that Rokr has, and I shouldn't have. When I start these kits, the first thing I do is go through the instructions to try to identify any problem areas. Piece A12. That' one's gonna be a problem, and there is no backup.Sure enough, it broke, and I didn't even get far enough to try to assemble it. It broke removing it from the sprue, and it shattered in a way that is unrepairable due to the cheap wood that Rokr uses. I'm going to have to try to devise some kind of wire or something to be able to complete this kit. I'm used to engineering crap kits into something that will work. I do it all the time with Rokr products.Sure, Rokr offers a service where you can order replacement pieces, but I'm not going to pay extra for Rokr's substandard quality. Over all brands, I have easily built at least 60 of these kits. Rokr is the only brand I've had an issue with. If you look through my reviews, you'll see that Roker is the only kit brand that I've ever left a one-star review for.If you're looking to purchase a wooden model kit, I highly recommend UGears, Wooden City, Wood Truck, or any one of the dozens of generic resellers. Stay far, far away from Rokr/Robotime/Rolife/etc unless you are expecting disappointment. Their quality control is abysmal, and it tends to be the exact same thing wrong with every kit.---------------Original review:I probably would not have purchased this kit had it not been on sale for Prime Week. From the photos, it looked like it would be a really fragile kit, which can be an issue with Robotiime/Rokr kits.This was not the case at all. It was a decent challenge, too, as getting all of the pieces in the pumpkin part to stay together properly while fitting it into the chassis of the carriage took a bit of finagling.It looks really cool when it's done, too. Five stars. This kit was kind of awesome. I'll probably buy another one to assemble again one day, and I'm even willing to pay full price!

I originally ordered this carriage a year ago, but due to circumstances I was only able to assemble it recently. Everything went easily until Step #7. The pieces wouldn't line up. I even used a magnifying glass to study the directions and everything look to be according to directions but wouldn't line up. In the process several pieces broke beyond use and the carriage went into the trash. Only the 2nd time that I trashed a puzzle. But I am determined!!! I ordered a second carriage and received it today. Carriage is now fully assembled in just a few hours and looks great. Directions aren't easy to follow once you hit Step #7 so I only gave this 3 stars. Was the issue with Carriage #1 with me or some kind of design flaw is unknown.

Nice
