disappointed
I purchased this product for a school enrichment project on monuments. The kit did not work. the mortar never solidified so the bricks just slid around and the building collasped.
Disappointing
This is not a "toy" but a very good challenge for any architec. I bought it for my 13 year old son and I had to do it by myself. I could only do 70% of it and looked as a real coliseum after an earthquake. The mortar is very rough when an extremely fine one is required because of the size mof the bricks. The instructions are precariuos and lacks of important details an explanations. This is an adult "toy" and you need a very long time to finish it.
