Bought this for my 15-year-old who normally lives on his phone. He disappeared into the dining room for four evenings straight and I barely heard a peep. When he finally flicked the switch and all eight pistons started going up and down in sequence, he actually shouted for the whole house to come and look. Instructions are clear enough that he only needed me for one fiddly bit with the crankshaft. Proud dad moment, that.
Margaret Hollis –
got this for my grandson’s birthday. He was grinning from ear to ear when he opened it and hasn’t stopped tinkering since. Lovely thing.

Bought it for my husband, who’s been going on about engines for years. He’s built most of it and the moving parts are properly satisfying to watch. Only small niggle is that a few of the pieces are very small and fiddly, so you want good light and a bit of patience. Worth the money though.
Helen Whitcombe –
Spot on. I’m the sort who needs to understand how things work, and watching the crankshaft turn the pistons one after another finally made the firing order click for me. The build took me about five evenings with a cuppa and a podcast. The motor is quieter than I expected too. Sits on my bookshelf now and visitors always ask about it.

Third kit I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good’un. Fiddlier than the last one I did, but that’s part of the fun. Delivery was quick, postie even got it through the letterbox without squashing the box. Knocked a star off because the battery pack isn’t included, so remember to pick some up.

Bought for my grandson Callum, who’s 16 and mad about cars. His smile when it started running was worth every penny. Brilliant.
John Pilkington –
Being a bit of a tinkerer myself, I couldn’t resist the V8 engine model kit. Took a couple of evenings, but the feeling of watching the pistons pump in perfect harmony is cracking. The detail is spot on, and the instructions were clear. Truly a brilliant experience.

Gift for my grandson, and he was chuffed. Spent nights meticulously putting it together. Smiles all around when it actually started running. Great for budding engineers.
