This was a nice addition to my Harry Potter collection. It goes together pretty easily. I would recommend buying the shaping tools for making the round curves and shaping the wings.

cool looking…only downside, it’s a real pain in the butt to assemble

The finished product is pretty neat. It’s not as complicated as the other Metal Earth projects, but I like it nonetheless.The tiny inserts are hard to place when your needle nose pliers are large. I used my fingernail instead. I think they need to make the attachments longer.To the one review complaining about the wings: No, there wasn’t a design error. You put the stand pieces in the wrong orientation. I almost made the same mistake and changed it.

I love making these little metal sculptures! This was my third and the fact that it was a circle freaked me out at first, but it was much easier than others I’ve made that included circles. Now I have this beautiful, detailed little snitch! I love it!

Very cool! My husband is obsessed with these little puzzles. He loves the peaceful time making them, and they turn out really cool! We have his collection on display in our lounge area. This would make a very nice gift for someone who enjoys little projects like this. All you need to complete a kit is tweezers.

Easy but fun little sculpture. If you are looking for a challenge this is not the piece for you. But if you are like me and just want an awesome snitch to display in your home. This is great.

This was the first metal model that I attempted and I actually prefer these to the plastic models I have done in the past as there is no glue or paint required (unless you accidentally break a piece of metal). Overall the build is not all that difficult but you have to be patient. The hardest part is when you take the two halves of the ball and try to stick them together. Once I got it together I had one of the ball tabs pop out a little but I have no way of fixing it now. Also be careful if you don’t plan on building this model for a while and have it sitting around in the packaging. I had some stuff sitting on top of it and it resulted in the one wings getting slightly bent so now it has a noticeable flex in it and there’s no way to fix it. Despite this it was a satisfying build if you have the right tools available.

Very simple and satisfying puzzle to build. Can easily be done in about an hour and doesn’t require any special tools. A simple sturdy pair of tweezers is all you need.

Easy to assemble once I understood the directions. I really like how how it looks.

I’ve built about 30 of the Metal Earth models. This one is not the best for a first time build just because curves are tougher than straight edges.For those that have built these models before, there was nothing super difficult about it. The instructions were a bit unclear with with side to fold the base of the wings on, but it ultimately didn’t really matter. Instructions were also unclear on how to bend the wings to show motion. I guess you could always just keep them straight.This model ended up bigger than I expected. The wings are pretty wide. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

Great product. It took a little while to put together and the only tool you need is a small pair of needle nose pliers. My finished product did not come out as perfect as their picture (obviously) but I’m happy with how it looks. The finished snitch is pretty small ~1 1/4 inch in diameter but definitely worth it for a cool little decoration. This was my first time doing any of the Fascinations metal model kits and it was very easy to figure out how to complete.
