Their customer service is excellent! My last question to them about a discount was answered the same day and that just doesn't happen these days. I'm still putting together the Heavenly Hercules (I'm retired and under no time constraints) , my next project will be the Steamliner, and I just supported Time4Machine's new Kickstarter and am buying the Rocketship (can't remember your official name for it). I'm hoping to get all these put together eventually. They are just fun to assemble! They have great products and service!

Mysterious Timer 2 was challenging but a lot of fun!
I received this remarkable product as gift from my wife.
It took me about 30 hours to assemble it, though a lot of that was carefully studying the directions because you really need to get it right -- going back and taking it apart to fix an error is next to impossible due to complexity and the "crimping" to hold parts together. While the instructions are largely just diagrams (with text that basically says "assemble it according to the diagram"), the diagrams are extremely detailed. That said, there were a couple of places where I wasn't clear on the exact placement of the pieces, though I was able to figure it out. There were also a few places where the details on how to crimp the pieces together weren't obvious based on the arrows shown in the diagram. But, again, I took my time, and was able to figure it out well enough to finish the model. This was my first model of this type, and I'm sure the next time it will be easier based on what I learned.
I do recommend obtaining the supplemental toolkit (which includes two additional needle-nose pliers, a file, and a tweezer), as some of the assembly was made much easier by having these tools instead of only the needle-nose pliers that come with the kit.
Customer service was really excellent! I lost one of the "gears" needed to make it work (my own carelessness), and after emailing support (I got an answer back within an hour) they mailed me the part I needed. Aleksandra was so helpful and her English is excellent.
As I said, this is challenging project, it requires a decent ability to visualize the model from the diagrams, and relatively strong and steady hands (for crimping and placing the parts). But, the results are impressive and pretty fascinating, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

A Happy Ending!
I ordered a GLORIOUS CABRIO 2 online, almost 10 months ago. The order was send to me but unfortunately it never delivered!
After all, I decided to put a comment here and shortly after I was contacted by the head of Customer service. Hopefully not only they sent me my order but also a Tractor.
This time I recieved it within a couple of days and I am so excited.
The packaging, quality, everything looks great!
Worth the waiting😊

Going Back In Time Has Never Been Easier - Brian Boitano, World Renowned Ice Skater/Hero/All Round Good Dude
Before that strange little dude Marty did it in a De'Lorean, I, Brian Boitano, had to physically go faster than the speed of sound in order to create the circumstances necessary to travel through time. How I would have loved a crazy old scientist to provide me with a flux capacitor!!
But nowadays, even that pesky De'Lorean is out of date. If you wanted to go back in time; let's just say you had to build some pyramids or fight an evil robot king, you just need to nip down to Time4Machine and their helpful staff will see you right. Want to kill baby Hitler? Want to play fetch with a velociraptor*? Want to punch a duck-billed platypus? Get down to Time4Machine now. I, Brian Boitano, give my wholehearted endorsement.
*please do not play fetch with a velociraptor, they are extremely dangerous and are threatened by spherical objects. PSA from me, Brian Boitano
