My younger daughter loves Star Wars, so I really excited to review Star Wars: Build a Scene even though she's younger than the target age of fourteen years old. I just assumed my husband and I would have to help her out.
The book has everything needed - the sheet of punch-out pieces and the detailed instructions. The dioramas end up about the size of a small shoe box, and are significantly more detailed than some of the easy paper dioramas I remember building when I was younger. Not only are the illustrated instructions included (which really makes it easier to build when you can see the steps), but each model has several essays about the scenes themselves, including design and filming.
The models definitely take time to build. Unless you or your kid is extremely patient, it can't really be done in one sitting (the guideline is 2-4 hours; I didn't really time it).
I'm amazed at anyone who can design these kinds of things. The level of detail was beyond what I expected, but it made an enjoyable rainy day activity for my husband or me to do with our daughter.
