Yes, it's tiny. It's supposed to be tiny, that's the point. The whole thing fits in a tiny box, it's the same with the rest of the Running Press Mini Kits. But, like most of their other kits, this is a lot of fun and really cool. You get a tiny model Stonehenge to build and display in your home/office/whatever. If you're quirky, eccentric, or just into this kind of thing then you'll love this. I do!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really impressive micro-Stonehenge!, November 16, 2008

I didn't expect a lot from a Stonehenge kit that would fit inside the tiny mini-kit box, but was delightfully surprised. After I assembled the model and set it on a sunny windowsill, it cast perfect Stonehenge-esque shadows, and I was very pleased with it indeed! [Yes, I actually fiddled around with the placement so as to orient it in the same way as the original - though I don't know if I'll be able to make myself get up at dawn on the solstice to check out the accuracy of the positioning!]

I've been wanting to create a small terrarium/garden using moss or creeping thyme, so I could place the Stonehenge model on a green growing background; the model would look very nice in a mini-garden setting.
