This model has a roof that swings open and you can view the inside, revealing a statue of Athena. Very easy to make. The pages are printed on both sides and in vivid colors. The directions are very clear. Would recommend this to anyone teaching ancient Greece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greek Temple, July 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Make This Model Greek Temple (Usborne Cut-Out Models) (Paperback)

I'm 10 years old, and I love Greek mythology. This model was very fun to build, and relieving to finish. There is lots of detail on everything. It is very challenging, and requires patience. A partner (such as a family member or a friend) would help a lot.
In short, this model is excruciating and fun to build, but amazing when finished. I liked it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Requires focus but well worth it!, February 11, 2011

This review is from: Make This Model Greek Temple (Usborne Cut-Out Models) (Paperback)

This is a time-consuming project....but the end result is well worth it! The model is made of a heavy-gauge, glossy paper that folds well and has a substantial feel without being too heavy, and has good color and detail on it. It is important to read through the instructions first before starting assembly. There is a LOT of cutting, folding and glueing involved, especially with the many columns. I am an adult, and it took me approximately ten hours to construct. The roof remains attached but can be opened (like the lid of a box) to reveal the interior of the temple, which has several chambers and nice detail such as the statute of Athena. Very nice model with good detail.
