Best Review on The Peace Tower Paper Clock
This kit of an All Paper Clock is very well prepared and really - all tools one will need - will be found in a common household. Work is proceeding fast; just depending on the type of glue one is using. The best is the suitable use of white (water based) glue for items that need some minutes to be aligned before the glue has settled and faster glues as the RC plane guys are using or superglue for the other elements.
The precision of the pre-cut cardboard pieces is excellent, resulting in perfect fitting. The instructions are very detailed, meaing that no cumbersome search for details should occur.
Personally I built this clock during a tour through the Nat`l parks in the West, starting with the as-bought box of the clock and some tools and ending up with a fully functioning wall clock.
A hint concerning the weights (hollow cardboard cylinders), driving this marvel: One may replace them by stones (giving the clock an anciant touch) or filling them with shot gun bullets (easily obtainable at your local weapon store). For the latter case: Ensure to build these cardboard weights VERY RUGGED with more than normally used glue - lead is heavy...
In a nutshell: This kit is suitable for beginners from some 8 years (with occational pa's or grandpa's assistance) up to infinity. Also ladies should not resist to build their own wall clock.
Once this little masterpiece is nearly silently ticking at the wall, everyone will be extremely proud of his/her work and it is real show-off, once friends are passing by.
But now I have to return to my current project - a working steam engine - also a cardboard model.
