I was given this Ikseon-dong Hanok Bakery kit by Anavrin as a gift, and I was truly satisfied with the experience. It's a product with meticulous attention to detail. The instructions are clear and well-organized, making assembly a pleasure even for those with little experience with DIY kits. The materials appear to be of good quality, and the final result is truly spectacular. Once completed, the model also makes a beautiful decorative object to display in your home. I highly recommend this ...

After Kyoto Gion and Omoide, I embarked on what was a real undertaking: Lijiang. So many refined details require so much effort, but so much satisfaction once completed. There were so many steps that I literally despaired over, but in the end, the result makes me truly happy. It's all beautiful, but come on, you're such funny people when you indicate an assembly time of between 8 and 10 hours on the boxes—come on, maybe you meant days! Anyway, jokes aside, thank you for this extraordinary new pa...

I really enjoyed putting together my book nook. The instructions were clear, the pieces were cleanly cut and all fit together as they should. It took me longer than I thought as you have to wait for the glue to dry before you can move on to the next steps. I was very pleased with the end results and I've had multiple compliments on it! I used Aleene's Tacky Glue on this project and it worked wonderfully. I will definitely be ordering another kit and I'm sure I will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed ...

This was the cutest and most fun project I have worked on in a while. I purchased 2 because of the discount that was active at the time. I worked on the magic pharmacy one first. The level of detail is amazing. Every label for the tiny books, the scrolls, etc. was legible and decorative. I assembled every single item in the book nook, the cauldron, the potion bottles, the books.. all of it. It was very fun to figure out the best way to place items. There are directions but it is still pos...

Enjoyable build. Really a nice looking finished product. Like a lot of decent quality Book Nooks, some of the elements you really don't see in the finished product, but are what makes the assembly fun (example: stuffing actual paper into the manilla folders). The wiring in this was more complex - in that getting the length of the wires exactly right was very difficult (especially the two in the roof). Very challenging to get the length right (no easy way to tuck excess wire anywhere). Be careful...

I’ve built the Kyoto Gion and the Jiu Fen book nooks before and I find that this newest release has everything I love (clear instructions, very useful tools, wonderful designs, high quality materials), while also improving on the things I found the most frustrating about the previous two! The wiring was must easier to understand and was less prone to tangling, the addition of the clear acrylic pieces vs. the usual wax paper makes everything so much brighter, there was a good balance of needing t...

I ordered my kit on April 13th and received the kit on April 21st. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on April 28th which was devastating. I couldn’t concentrate on assembling the kit. But then decided to start to try to complete the kit and completed the kit May 26th. I inserted a photo of my wife and I into the kit. I will present it to her on our 55th wedding anniversary on June 7th. I think she will enjoy it in years to come even if I am no longer here . Thank you I really enjoyed putting i...

I really enjoyed putting this together and the end result looks great! There were a few minor labeling issues with the instructions, but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own. There's a lot more reliance on glue than I anticipated, so it took me a while to get that technique dialed in. Putting the lanterns together was a real pain because you can't do it without glue. Those should be redesigned in later versions in my opinion. Other than those small complaints, I would definitely like to u...

I love the detail in the Ikseon-dong Hanok Bakery it and am working on it slowly. The material quality is great so far, with all the necessary components like glue etc added in as part of the kit. The printed directions are detailed but the print is very dark, I had to look for a Youtube walkthrough (@mini-rose miniature) to determine context for some parts that I wasn't sure about. Sadly, the Anavrin youtube did not have this Hanok Bakery build instructions added yet. It would be good if the...
