What is in a kit?
Wooden model kits come as flat wooden boards with the pieces pre-cut, plus the instructions and any small parts the product page lists. You press the pieces out and build the model step by step. Each product page gives the piece count, the build time and the finished size from the maker.
Who are the kits for?
Grown-ups and older teens: the makers recommend them for ages 14 and up. They have small parts.
Do any of them need batteries?
No. Nothing in the shop uses batteries or lights. The music boxes play with a music movement you turn or wind by hand.
Where do orders ship from?
From US warehouses of our fulfilment partner (CJ Dropshipping). Orders are prepared in 1-3 business days, then delivery takes 3-7 business days. You get a tracking number by email when it ships.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order by December 8 for Christmas with standard US shipping. That date allows for the slowest delivery time we quote plus preparation and a spare day. Carriers are busy in December, so we can't promise a delivery date.
How much is shipping?
Free on every US order. We ship to the United States only.
Can I return it?
Yes: unused kits in their original packaging, within 30 days of delivery. If a kit arrives damaged, with missing pieces or not as described, email us a photo and we replace it or refund it in full. See the Refund policy.
