Review of Woodcraft Xiangxi Houses on stilts


Trying something new .....wood instead of plastic blocks. 



3 sheets of wooden pieces. Basic instructions if you can call them that. The parts are ot labelled but the instruction sheet shows where point 1 should join with point 1 on another part. Since the pieces are not labelled, I wrote the numbers down on the pieces before taking them out of runners. But still, it took time to get things going for the first few parts. 


But once you get the hang of it, its quite simple and easy to assemble. The quality is not bad of the wood pieces. A sand paper is provided to smoothen out the rough edges on the pieces. 




Didn't take too long to finish it and in the end it was quite a lot of fun. Simple construction but just different style of putting it together. Would be ideal for those interested in making dioramas. With a coat of paint and some extras added, the kit has a lot of potential.

10/10 from me.
