This is a great kit, solid brass parts, easy to read instructions and an interesting finished product. The only downside was it was quite easy to construct - I was hoping to keep myself out of mischief for a lot longer. Here are some tips you may find helpful; Read the whole instruction before proceeding. Read the review
Easy to order, Telegraph discount. Rapid delivery but make sure you are an early riser as notification of delivery from the courier, DPD was timed at just after 0600 with delivery at about 0730. Well packed and presented in layered trays of polystyrene. I have not explored beyond the first layer as this will be an after Christmas project.
The instructions were very clear, and the parts well made. The trouble-shooting pages were of help in finding where I'd failed to tighten a grub screw! A tip - the planets are only a loose fit in the arms, and readily come off. A few drops of modelling glue makes them far more secure! Read the review
The orrery came exactly on time and was extremely well packaged. It hasn't been opened yet as it is a Christmas present, so cannot comment on how easy it is to assemble.
Learnt rapidly not to be overcome by the task. Actually very easy. Directions clear and easy to understand. I am thoroughly enjoying the task of putting it together. Whilst I’m looking forward to completing it there will also be some disappointment. Very pleased.
Lovely product. Very well made from thick brass. Excellent quality. All the pieces fitted perfectly and instructions are very clear. It took me 3-4 days to complete, doing 2-3 hrs a day - very enjoyable… There is motor so you can sit transfixed and watch the planets go by. The earth and moon also rotates about its axis, which is cool.
