Hummingbird Brick Set

This set is unlike any other brick set I’ve seen, with lots of interesting build techniques and bricks. The mechanical motion of the hummingbird is well-designed and works smoothly.
A minor quibble is that the instructions depicted fairly major steps that require a bit of careful examination of the illustrations to understand where each brick goes. A more major problem is that the build contains an illegal construction, namely, the brown tubes representing a vine on the back end of the box around the crank mechanism are supposed to be attached onto studs projecting from the wall of the box. However, the studs are on an angle such that the tubes construction does not align correctly. This requires a bit of fiddling with the bricks involved to make everything attach, but there remains a gap between the pieces representing the vine.
Given these two flaws I would say this build is definitely for builders with at least moderate experience.

Bought as a Christmas present for granddaughter.
