IncrediBuilds: Quidditch: Deluxe Book and Model Set (Harry Potter)

I have purchased four different incredibuilds kits and they are all well made and easy to put together. I would guess that an 11 year old could manage it alone. The pieces are laser cut wood and they pop out of the board easily. You then follow the instructions to build your model. The end result is really effective. The book that comes with it has some great info on quidditch and the part the snitch plays in the game. It's fairly basic info but nice to have. The book also gives tips on painting your model. I actually glue my pieces together but you don't have to. I just wanted mine to be late ng lasting editions to my HP collection. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is they are a tad expensive. However I am very pleased with my purchase.

Lovely book if a little lacking in details. Good build !

I've really enjoyed building these Incredibuilds model kits, they're pretty easy to put together but it's a satisfying way to spend half and hour and I love having the finished models to decorate my bookcases with. I think the Golden Snitch was probably the most awkward of the models to put together, most of it is very straightforward and super easy but when you get to step 11 you'll probably have to gently use a hammer to get that spike to go through the rest of the model so younger builders may need assistance at that point.This is probably the model that would be easiest to paint after building, the others I'd recommend decorating the pieces before together but there aren't so many awkward angles here so you can easily add paint to the finished model if you want to. I still think they look fine without any decoration though so I'm not going to be in a rush to paint mine. The Snitch model stands about 11cm tall at the highest point and the wingspan is 23cm tip to tip so it's not too large but looks nice on display.As with all of these kits the hardback book is only about 30 pages long but it includes lots of information about they filmed the Quidditch matches for the movies. Everything from how they designed the costumes and decided on the shape of the brooms to how they filmed the actors against blue screens so they could add the CGI background later on. There are lots of pictures from all different production stages and even though it's only a quick read Harry Potter fans are sure to find it interesting.The only Harry Potter model set I'm missing now is the Aragog one which I'm actually a little reluctant about buying - do I really need a giant spider on my bookshelves? I definitely want to start collecting the Fantastic Beasts ones though, the only two available right now are a Niffler and the Swooping Evil which both look like pretty cool sets to build and I wouldn't be surprised if more are released later down the line.
