Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does assembly typically take?

Most builders complete their project in 3-6 hours, though the exact time depends on your pace and experience level. We recommend setting aside a relaxed afternoon — there is no rush. Many builders tell us the assembly process itself is the most enjoyable part.

Q: Can the finished model be painted or stained?

Absolutely. The natural basswood surface accepts acrylic paints, wood stains, and clear finishes beautifully. Many builders choose to leave the natural wood grain visible, while others add personal color touches. We recommend a light clear coat to protect any custom finish you apply.

Q: How many pieces are in the puzzle?

Piece counts vary by model, typically ranging from 30 to 100+ pieces. Each set includes all components needed plus a few spares. The instructions guide you through assembly step by step, so you always know exactly where each piece belongs.
