Product Description

Product Description

The Unseen University sits in the centre of Discworld's greatest city, Ankh-Morpork. Some would say it is the very heart of the city. Ancient and magical, it is the home to the greatest library in the multiverse and the oldest building on the Discworld, the soaring Tower of Art. Enjoy the challenge of making all seven buildings and seeing the complete Unseen University literally unfold before your eyes. It is created in perfect detail by renowned illustrator and modelmaker, Alan Batley, from the original sculpture of the University by Discworld Artist Bernard Pearson. This title includes a foreword by Terry Pratchett. Simple tools, patience, and a good pot of glue are all that is required to create this masterpiece. With comprehensive and easy-to-follow instructions throughout, this title is suitable for all from 10 up, including the adult serious model maker.

5.0 out of 5 stars unseen a must see, 8 Nov 2006
By S. Cook "stevetygertiger" (england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i was suprised at the quality of the book and model. the artwork is outstanding and when made up the university makes an excellant backdrop for the small pewter discworld figures.
it is a real shame to cut out the parts as the artwork is quite beautiful.
ideal for the long winter nights,grab your scissors glue,(i recomend pva)put on a discworld talking book take the phone off the hook and lose yourself for an enjoyable few hours.
one point, i would not buy this for a child, far too difficult.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unseen University Cut Out Book, edited 13/01/07, 19 Dec 2006
By P. Wilcock (Manchester (U.K)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
very addictive, not really suited for a novice, some of the instructions are a bit confusing (but good on the whole), and some of the tabs (when cut out) are on the small side.Also advise getting a compass cutter (makes cutting and scoring circles a lot easier and quicker, well wotrh the £4.00 I paid for one)

5.0 out of 5 stars Unseen University made seen, 23 Aug 2009
By Adam Sliwinski (Poznan, Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A thing just essential for any Discworld lover. For anyone who knows how not to cut himself, comprehensive instructions allow to built this really lovely model with pleasure; for more experienced card modellers, it would take some weeks giving much joy.
I made the first cut a week ago, and after two weekends (with no time in weekdays) have done all the Hub side, with merely no problems - the only one is that the model is so precise that there's no space for glue. Nevertheless, IMHO this is the nicest card models I've ever worked on (and there were (and will be) many others).
So, if you want to see the Unseen - just buy it and do your duty.
