My 12 year old son absolutely loves these projects. He will sit down and work on it for days until it’s finished; and is s proud of the accomplishment when he’s done. So much better than Video Games!!!

OK folks, pretty much ignore negative reviews. The fact is that this is a very complex model, takes several days (not hours) to assemble properly, and can be pretty frustrating.My grandparents used to call it “hot and bothered” when reaching a point where frustration becomes damaging. So, when you get stuck on a particularly confusing part of assembly – take a break and come back later.This projector is pretty much unforgiving in that instructions MUST be followed EXACTLY. Do that, be prepared to invest quite a bit of time – and the result is a real, functional work of art.Those who complain frankly haven’t built the model correctly – and it’s easy to make a mistake if your eyes aren’t glued to the manual – so simply take your time, don’t rush it, and you’ll be very happy with the results! The “cool” factor is simply off the charts and it’ll be a prized possession for years to come!

I got this as a gift for my brother who is a mechanical engineer. He didn’t feel like it was beneath him, but had a lot of fun putting it together and it’s actually pretty cool when its all built!The pieces are well packaged and organized, and the instructions are clear. I would definitely gift this to someone again!

Enjoyed assembling it with my partner yesterday! Every piece that comes with it has an extra, which is very thoughtful. I recommend this product to parents with young kids, couples and anyone who enjoys a little playtime.

So much fun!!! Pretty challenging but just what I was looking for. Took me about 8 hours to complete. The movie doesn’t exactly play smoothly but it’s part of the charm.

This was a fun project. It took us about 2 days to complete it. It was challenging without being frustrating. The only thing we haven’t figured is how to get the film to run and not appear upside down.

A great project for my daughter and I. All of the pieces fit right and the instructions were clear.

My wife gave me this as a Christmas present and I was a bit skeptical at first sight; seeing this product for the very first time and not really knowing anything about it made me intrepid about it in general. Once I opened it up and realized immediately that this was no easy project I steadfastly elated and excited to get to work on it right away. To my surprise and great elation, the project was extremely challenging and fun! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get some enjoyment out of life free of clue — happy beginnings!

I recently started buying some of these wooden puzzles as a hobby, this was a nice one to add to the collect.I enjoyed putting this one other and would do it again.
Sara Marshall –
This was very relaxing to build. It took me about 5 hours and I’m a beginner. I posted my finished projector on Facebook and got so many comments. Everyone asked where I got it. I am planning on buying more. These are very cool and would make a cool gift. I did have a small piece to the door handle brake but was totally my fault.

GREAT!I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is going to school for film. She loved it!
MommaTex –
It was easy for my husband to assemble. It wobbles a bit when you crank the handle to play the movie. So, the picture isn’t very clear. I wish it had a base to hold it still.

It really works!!!

Loved this! Got this for my birthday and it took hours of hard work but it looks awesome and works great! The instructions are only pictures so attention to detail was key, but it was just what I wanted and will be a cool decor item.

My 11 year old loved it, he is always asking for something that would take a long time to put together, but didn’t want to pay for expensive Lego set. 4 stars only because when we finished it we couldn’t really see the video. I don’t know if maybe it was because we put the lens on incorrectly (which could very well be possible)

One of the easier ones to assemble since the wood is a little thicker but the picture doesn’t show up crazy clear
Jean –
The mechanism does not work well. Recipient enjoyed assembly
Daniotra –
My husband loved this Christmas gift. He enjoyed putting it together and loved the science aspect of it. The pieces are not overly delicate. Assembly was challenging, but not frustrating.
