Impressive!, 4 Feb 2007
By Digitalkafka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cut and Assemble a Crusader Castle in Full Colour: The Krak DES Chevaliers in Syria (Models & Toys) (Paperback)
As a fairly bright eleven-year-old, I as able to assemble this paper model over a period of several weeks and was very pleased with the result. There were a few difficult spots, but some good scissors, white glue, and a hobby knife were all that I required to put this beauty together. Years later I'm still impressed with the job the pulishers did.
There were two rough spots: a windmill tower which never quite looked right, and a specific section of wall which took an inordinate amount of fiddling with in order to fit. Those aside- and they were relatively minor blemishes, hardly noteworthy once the project was done- this was an ejoyable project and tought me a great deal about Medieval defensive architecture.

Enjoyable, fun and a lot of work!, 19 Jan 2011
By Will Kalif "StormTheCastle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cut and Assemble a Crusader Castle in Full Colour: The Krak DES Chevaliers in Syria (Models & Toys) (Paperback)
I built this castle and really enjoyed it. Took me somewhere around 30 hours of work and I am an experienced paper artist. The end product looks really good and people love it.
It can be a bit of a challenging build and you won't get it perfect but it will come out great. A model like this is at a very fair price and well done though. but it's not a professional level model. And you have to figure for this price I did get 30 hours of enjoyable, listening to the radio while I work, castle building time.
About the picture. The picture on the books shows the castle sitting in sand. that is a diorama that can be made around it. The actual castle you make is just the castle and it is one complete unit that is glued together with a few internal structures too so it is nice and sturdy.
How you make this: If you never made a paper model like this before this is how you do it. There are pages in the book and on the pages are various pieces that you cut out, fold and glue together in sections. First you build the outer wall piece by piece then you build the inner sections piece by piece. Finally you glue the inner section into the outer wall section.
-The instructions- are clear and easy to understand
-The pieces to cut out are accurate
- The end product looks good
- It isn't paper like printer paper, It is thicker and more like card stock which makes it easier and more durable.
All in all I love it. Looks great and is fun to make.
NOTE: I added a picture of the one I built if you want to see it.
