UGears Mystery Wooden Fidget Kit

Mystery Fidget Spinners were a total hit for little fingers. Kept them busy and entertained quite a bit. Something that can be popped in a pocket.

Ugears Mad Hornet Airplane

By: Anonymous on 04 March

I encountered a few problems, mainly with the central mechanism which wouldn't turn, but otherwise it's very well designed. This is my seventh Ugears model kit and I'm still just as satisfied.

Gears Top Fuel Dragster Model Kit UGEARS

By: Anonymous on 07 September

Great parts, easy assembly, EXCEPT The rear wheel assembly made me tear my hair out. Probably my fault, but none of the spokes wanted to hold position long enough to create a lined-up wheel. Other than that, another great kit. Thanks!

UGears Book of Secrets Wooden Kit

By: Matthew on 03 October

Unbelievable detail in design. Make extra sure you pay close attention to the detailed instructions. When putting together you wonder how and why some of the pieces fit together. In the end it all works perfect!

Pretty good model overall, but pay attention to the instructions because if you miss anything and you mess it, fixing the mistake later is very difficult.

UGears Carousel

By: Brittney on 23 March

This was my first set. I have owned it for a few years before finally getting to put it together. I only broke 1 piece but luckily there was an extra. I was able to put most of it together without an external tool however the tiny decoration along the top I did need something to help push them together. I absolutely love it and can't wait to bring it to work.

But I think that must be a 4.5. That's very interesting but it works not so perfect. There are some problems. But at all I think that's great for this type of puzzle!

UGears Compact Racer Model Kit

By: Anonymous on 02 October

the project of assembling this model was challenging and enjoyable. The construct of its design always amazes me as it all comes together and actually works! Cheers to the engineers that design them. Looking forward to new spring activated models. I much prefer them to the rubber band ones.

UGears Engine Clock Wooden Model Kit

By: Anonymous on 11 September

Building this clock was a huge challenge for me. At first, I could only get it to run for about three hours. But after disassembling it several times, applying wax, and sanding some parts—especially the hour-hand mechanism—I finally got it to work! As the photo shows, it ran for an incredible 6 hours and 25 minutes with the engine turned off! After tweaking a lot with the pendulum, I was also able to achieve a difference of only 4 seconds compared with a stopwatch over that entire period!! This is a fantastic piece of engineering, and there were times I truly felt like a clockmaker. It gave me many hours of fun during and specially after its assembly. Thank you again, Ugears! You're geniuses!

UGears Flight Starter

By: Brandon on 17 August

I don’t know what inspired me to buy this—I haven’t thrown a paper airplane in 20 years—but here’s my assessment. It’s a unique looking device and propels the glider quite nicely. If you’re stuck inside for a bit, as I have been, completing this one will feel like a challenge well done.

UGears Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Model Kit

By: Michael on 11 August

I am enjoying building the Hogwarts Express very much especially as I am painting it all like the example in the UTube video. I am doing it backwards really as I did the track first and then the carriage and the tender and then the engine. I enjoyed doing the first three bits but the engine is giving me a few problems. Parts 1 to 5 were quite difficult to make and it would be. Helpful if there were spares. the gears on page 10 were difficult to complete as the pieces are fragile and require a lot of strength and dexterity to complete. It is very easy to break pieces 24, 25, 28, 29, and 32, spares would be very useful and when I assembled them all some of the holes in pieces 9 and 34 seemed small and I had to do quite a bit of filing to get them to fit. I broke a couple of the washers no 27 and had to fix them with super glue. So a couple of spares would have been very handy. In spite of that the model is great and I will send some photos when i’ have finished it. 2 more small points. I found it hard to paint the signs on 162 and 164. If the lettering were more pronounced it would be easier to paint, and I also found the hammer you provided in your Ugears Expess Train essential for this model. These models are great fun and I am hoping to do your QUIDDITCH PINBALL next. I have not produced nice music on my Hurdygurdy yet but like to try.

UGears Harry Potter Quidditch Pinball Model Kit

By: Flemming on 10 November

This model was by far the most difficult to with . (I have built 20+) Not because it was difficult to assemble, but it was SO difficult to separate the parts from the boards. I think I spent more time cutting and pressing the parts from the boards without damage, than assembling the model itself. Even then it happened time and time again that the upper ply of the part splintered off. The material (plywood) seems to be very dry and flaky. The assembled model works fine and is Fun to play with.

UGears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03

By: Pete on 08 July

It was a birthday present for my grandson. He absolutely loves it. We like the way they are constructed and the way they can be propelled. We have had U-gears products before and they are really good and some are very challenging.

UGears Hexapod Explorer

By: Anthony on 23 August

This is a fun puzzle. Not too difficult if you follow the instructions. More importantly, make sure you sand and wax all round parts and the holes they go into; along with all gears. Sometimes sand between teeth to make sure there are no wooden remnants. It moves down the hallway fast. I can't get it to walk slowly. You will need to run the gears while holding the hexapod to mesh the gears to run smoothly several times.

UGears Hurdy Gurdy

By: Barry Stewart on 28 June

This was a very rewarding build. The instructions were simple to follow every setup of the way. Rubber bands seem to be a problem for some builders, but they could not have been more straight forward to handle in this build. A great model, it looks so good finished.

UGears Manned Mars Rover Wooden Model Kit

By: Keith on 27 December

This is a superb model. Very skilfully designed. The suspension is great, as is the door that opens and snaps shut. Also the clockwork motor with winder hidden under more doors. Before construction I coloured most parts, not with paint, which would be too thick, but with special felt tip pens whose ink was absorbed by the plywood and most items clicked together OK. Some sanding was required too. All in all, the painting took over 9hrs and construction over 13hrs. I'm 78 and starting on a marble run tomorrow!

UGears Mechanical Theatre

By: Anonymous on 15 October

Very nice! You have to follow the directions closely. You still may need to adjust the gears once it is set up. Be sure to wax the “shafts” to make this easy. Shafts = toothpicks. Not hard (a bit harder than easy). Take your time, use care and it comes out nice! I wonder if painting it would enhance it.

UGears Moto Compact Folding Scooter Mechanical Model Kit

By: Don on 28 November

Ugears models are absolutely the best to build. I’ve been building their models for years and have tried some of the other companies, but I find that the Ugears models are far superior in both instruction and materials. This model was really a great one to build and came out very well.

UGears Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock

By: John on 25 September

Definitely anadvanced build (not for the faint of heart)! This is my first Ugears project after doing six of a competitor brand. I find that the instructions weren't as detailed BUT the parts are much more sturdy. Actually thepanels are at least twice as thick. I have it completed but I have a couple of gears jamming and Ihaven't found out whichones they are so it won't operate (annoying) but I will figure it out. One other thing I discovered is that the "lock" is just a hair too long making catch on the drive gear! Try it if you dare and want a challenge! John

UGears Split Rock Lighthouse Wooden Model Kit

By: Joseph on 19 August

UGears Locomotive with Tender

By: Anonymous on 02 December

Anyway, building this model was HUGHE fun. Do NOT expect the set to run free of issues, this is WOOD. I had a piece of wax from a chinese model which helped a lot. Don't know wether a real candle would have worked as well. The most fun for me as a kind of an engineer was the actual gear, I rebuild it five times so it was correctly assembled and fit, also in the frame. To bad it's done. A special gimmik is the gear moving the top doors of the tender. Using tooth picks is a great idea, opended my mind for simple solutions. If one breaks (or even more) you find some in your kitchen in a drawer. IF you inserted some wrongly, yu can use a dremel or proxon with a 2mm drill to oben the connection. I also like that there are some replacment parts. Tips; use wax when installing tooth picks on the picks. Heat the wax with a ligher, especially with the gear wheels. it'll cover the wood and then add some more. If a tooth pick does not fit, try another one, there is quite some tolerance to the diameter of such material. eventually you'll find one that prvides a good fit and is not too tight. Do NOT use force! A small pair of pliers helps. To UGears: Check your assembly manual, some numbers (one or two) are not correct. Have it checked for usability/comprehensiveness. At some (rare occasions) I had difficulties to follow the instructions. Add a piece of wax. great work, good prescision, great fun. Too bad it 's done.. I think I will got for the marble towers next

UGears Mini Desert Buggy

By: Zack on 01 December

I bought this to build with my 9 year old. It is the first one we've attempted and it is definitely more complex than we expected, so the 14+ rating on it is accurate. The mechanical parts are fascinating. I was able to teach my son about gears, ratchets, and one way freewheels. Amazing. The only thing I wish was the instructions had 1:1 images of the rubber bands so we could be sure we had the right ones. Kind of like Lego does with axles.

UGears Mini Steampunk Submarine Model Kit

By: Kevin on 10 December

I love this little machine.Typical UGears quality, which comes in handy when painting. The build was a good one. The fit was excellent, the tolerances were tight, and the gears meshed nicely. It only toom a handfull of runs to break it in enough to get all the moving parts doing their thing. The paints I use are craft store acrylic metallics, Vallejo metals and airs. Everything is hand painted on the sheet, with edges done before assembly. Paint does weaken the pieces, so I sand a bit oof the edges of each little peg so they don't require as much force. Even a light layer of paint can create a snug fit after that.
(5)

UGears NASA Saturn V Wooden Kit

By: Paul on 03 June

Awesome build! For those struggling, a few tips: -sand all burrs even if they already feel smooth; it makes fitting much tighter -wax tight connections; it makes assembly much easier (and disassembly if needed to fix mistakes) -soak all bendable parts (I leave them wrapped in a wet paper towel for a few minutes); it allows gentle stretching without breaking -take your time and have fun! Things break, glue repairs. -mark the steps as they are completed; it makes it so much easier to pickup tomorrow where you left off today.

UGears U-9 Grand Prix Car Model

By: Erwin on 03 February

I just finished this model. It was a real challenge to put this one together. The rubber band assemblies were the most challenging. Trying to get the thicker bands through the holes and all the same length was very difficult. I had to use all of the available spare parts because I kept breaking the parts. But i finally got it. Other than that this model is fantastic. It runs great!!! Make sure you use plenty of wax on the moving parts. I love these Ugears models. The problem is which one should I do next. You guys are great. I love these models. Please keep up the good work.
