This kit is a dream come true to anyone interested in mechanisms, kinetic sculptures, or beautiful models. The kit is assembled using common wood glue and comes with a small paint brush to make to process easy.When completed, you have a kinetic sculpture that when hand-cranked, will show the Pegasus figure flying through the air as his mighty wings flap and his legs gallop and his tail wags. Assembly time is between 3 and 4 hours. Great weekend project to do with your 8 -10 year old kids or do it on your own if you're older. Complete assembly videos are free for the watching as well as a downloadable fully photo-illustrated manual in pdf form. This kit is considered medium skill to assemble. Bibby's guarantees you will not be frustrated putting this kit together. It assembles like a dream with no ill-fitting parts or poor designs. Just take each step one at a time and enjoy the experience. All you need to finish this kit is a small bottle of wood glue, some masking tape, a small screwdriver, and some baby/talcum powder. A small piece of sandpaper or an Emory board is helpful but not required.
