Nanopuzzle's 5 pagoda temple metal model

Turns out MetalEarth is not the only company producing laser cut metal models. My son recently hosted some Japanese exchange students and they gave him this kit as a present which he very kindly gave to me. It's the same quality as MetalEarth and the precision cut, etched parts are a joy to put together. They don't have as extensive a selection as MetalEarth, however. Here's one website carrying their models https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?ty...Puzzle&spage=1

On an unpleasant note, I see that pirate site (oops! I put in the name and was then reminded by a moderator that that wasn't kosher. You know the one I mean. In China.) carries nearly the full range of MetalEarth's and Nanopuzzle's models.

It looks like a great kit and builds into a beautiful model Phil. You did the build yes?

Wow, what a beautiful kit.
Too bad that giant hand grabbed the pagoda. A scene right out of a sixties Japanese sci fi film.

Chuckle! Philzilla. Got a nice ring to it. The pagoda tasted a bit metallic, though.

Yes. My son did a couple of these kits, but this one he gave to me to build. Trying to get him (and his brother and sister) into paper models. May take a while.
