Wood Trick Pickup Truck Car - Wooden Puzzle in 3D Format to Assemble for Adults and Children - Drives up to 10 m - DIY Mechanics Wooden Models for Adults

Fun and challenging to build, good way to relax 😌

First off, I am 50 years old. This was very intriguing when I first saw the Wood Trick Pickup advertised as a suggestion for me. It is a skill level "5", and i'm not that skilled - but i wanted it anyway. I took my time, read the instructions carefully and still made some mistakes, but it was a great mind, eye and hand coordination challenge for me. It is 706 pieces, and many of them small, but I couldn't believe how well the pieces fit together snuggly and precisely. This company put their time and effort into engineering and manufacturing this. All of the pieces are on a laser cut sheet of plywood (approximately 6"x12"). No glue is required, or needed. This vehicles has a rotating driveshaft, rear end housing, rear axles and a wind up component (in the engine bay), all made of wood. The wind up band is made of metal, but it is held together by wood. The dashboard, center console, rear console, instrument panel, infotainment screen and door panels are all detailed. I was going to paint this truck, but after all the work that went into engineering and manufacturing of this product, I decided to leave it alone, and maybe paint it in a couple years. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BUYING MORE FROM THIS COMPANY, I am completely satisfied and happy with this purchase and assembly process. I hop everybody else enjoys this, as much as I did.

Sehr Sehr tolles Modell. Macht sehr viel Spaß beim zusammenbauen. Sehr schön detailgetreu

This was my first Wood Trick model having previously built many by Ugears. The quality, thickness and stencilling of the wooden boards is better and this is reflected in the look and sturdiness of the finished model. Using actual springs in the suspension, the door closing mechanism for starting the models forward motion and the way the rubber bands are an integral part of the rear tyres are all great details that I haven't seen before. The smoothness of motion and distance it travels are good too. Down sides for this type of model are: no backwards motion, no moving engine parts such as pistons and no details such as even a latch for the bonnet, which all let it down as a STEM type engineering model. Also, the way the cab connects to the trailer section could do with a couple more connection points. But I would recommend overall and hence the 5 stars,

Great model, loads of fun, does however require a significant amount of finger strength, though a good set of needle-nose pliers helps tremendously.The material is laser-cut oak, it smells amazing. As you assemble this marvelous model, aromas of toasted white oak waft through the air. I highly recommend pairing its assembly with a mature bourbon, at least a 12 year Knob Creek or better. It will definitely enhance the experience. (For 21 and older only plz)
