My parents got me a train model made entirely out of wood from these guys. Today I wanted to do some modelling, so I thought I'd complete this train model first. "It'll be a couple of hours" I said to myself, only to open the box a find, in addition to six plates of precut wood piece, toothpicks, rubber bands, sand paper, and a stick of wax. And I thought "oooooh fuuudge". Opened the instruction manual, and after a couple of hours I had an handful of subassemblies.
These subassemblies include an "engine" composed by 16 rubber bands; divided into four groups, you have to force the bands into slits that can barely hold two of them.
Two rubber bands have to be cut to about half their size and others to about 1cm in lenght...and tie them back together. I resorted in using a marker and multiple pairs of tweezers to accomplish this. And a lot of swearing.
After a while I was able to put together some of the subassemblies
And after that, I have the main body of the locomotive put together in all its mechanical glory.
Manual says I'm about halfway done, after more than 6 hours of work.
