Review MOULDKING XB-05001 Castle To The Sky

Unpacking

The packaging of the Star Fortress Sky City is still very large and thick, and the color of the cover is a bit too rich. The package is marked with the model number, suitable for 7-12 years old, a total of 1179 parts.

Open the box, separated by a layer for the installation instructions. For me who is used to the minimalist packaging style, this packaging design makes me feel wasteful.

The internal parts are all packed in small bags, and the visual stimuli of the number of accessories are not as amazing as the 1000+ pieces outside. Take a closer look, there are a lot of very small accessories, the number of accessories is carried up hard, although the box is so big, in fact, the real thing is still very suitable for my magical dwelling.

Assembled and physical

The first time I put together so many pieces of bricks, I have a serious mistake in the estimation of time, and I should have a rough calculation of 4+ hours. The most troublesome thing is that the assembly process is not very smooth, so I once wanted to give up. Or the consistent insistence of Bao Ma finally completed the assembly of the Sky City on the same day. Of course, the moment I finished it, it still feels worth it. During the assembly period, I felt that the experience was poor, not from the building blocks, but mainly from the installation guide. We will talk about it later.

The assembly of the base, from the picture, the base is only so big. In fact, it is really not very occupied, it is more suitable to be placed in a small home. For the two single-layer 1*8 stacks on the lower right of the legend, when I have a 2-layer 1*8, I am quite dissatisfied. Why not directly come to the 2 layers? It is not staggered and other parts are fastened together to increase stability.

A lot of gear structure, this is the part of the music box used for transmission. The sister is still very curious about this gear transmission.

There were several obvious mistakes during the assembly process. The first is that the length of this connecting rod 1:1 is wrong. This gives a very poor experience. There is also a bottom bar of a single small cloud, and the length color logo has problems.

The base is set up in a short time, and it looks very beautiful. The vacancy in the lower right corner of the base is reserved for the manual winding unit. The assembly of the base is quite simple. The most unpleasant thing is that the 1:1 illustration of the two crossbars is wrong. As for the others, it is quite clear. It is the part of the castle behind the Sky City, comparing the testing tools, hands-on ability and comprehension.

The first necessary tool should be the needle-nosed pliers on the picture. There are many such 1*2 small round buckles on the side of the needle-nosed pliers that need to be snapped together by small rounds. Hesitating is too small, it will be very painful to press with the hand, so it is very convenient and effective to use the needle-nosed pliers to press, one by one. At first, I was afraid that the needle-nosed pliers would hurt the plastic surface, but I thought it would be cheaper to go directly. I didn’t expect to save effort and leave no trace. In addition, the long nose pliers have not used rust for a long time, and the spray point wd-40 will become useful after a while.

Another difficulty in the castle is that the structure is a bit more complicated, and it feels like a little sky to build a pavilion. In the early stage, the internal platform was built. It can only be fixed by the connection with the upper layer. Every installation must be carefully carried out and then go up. But when you finally set up the castle and prepare to fit the base, you will find that the installation guide will allow you to make two solid foundations on the back of the castle. This should be installed at the bottom of the castle. of). At this time, it is easy to resolve the thoughts before, and the fall that is often in the interior. Just because the installation order on the installation guide is not reasonable.

The final product is still very good, and the price of the music box assembled by yourself is still very worthwhile.
