An explorer's study
Three hundred forty-two pieces, four to six hours. Here you step into the detailed kits: the richness comes from dozens of small objects (instruments, maps, trunks, notebooks) placed one by one. It's a build to do in sessions, not in one go.
Who is it for? Travelers and lovers of antique maps. A gift for someone who collects souvenirs from the road. A long hobby to savor over several evenings.
Assembled dimensions: 18 × 11 × 23 cm

Your questions about this kit
How long does it really take?
Allow four to six hours. With 342 pieces, it's a kit you work through over three or four evenings rather than all at once.
Is the level approachable?

How does the lighting turn on?
With a built-in touch switch.
