How to build the model kit "The Little Race Car"

No need to have built a model before: the pieces are laser-cut, the illustrated instructions show every step, and your phone can stay on the table.

  1. Pop out the pieces

    The pieces pop out of the wooden sheets by hand, in the order of the instructions. Nothing to cut, nothing to paint.

  2. Fit together, step by step

    Every step is illustrated. In one sitting or in twenty-minute sessions, at your own pace.

  3. Bring it to life

    Depending on the model: a mechanism to wind up, LEDs to connect, or simply a piece to display on your shelf.

Fine tweezers help with the smallest pieces; the recommended tools are listed on the product page.
