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.

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.

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.

This Model was the best one of the Parthenon that we could find. It earned our 11 year old an A+ on his Greek Project. Very colorful, detail oriented, and easy to understand. I'm blonde and I did it! It is very time consuming.. and requires A LOT of assistance from parents. It is NOT an appropriate project for kids under 13. I basically had to build the whole thing myself. Although it is very time consuming and requires patience, it is seriously the easiest model kit we purchased.. cheapest too!

A little hint! --> An Exacto knife works best for cutting out all the pieces and scoring them!

this greek temple was alot of fun to do! I made it for my sister who teaches 3rd grade and has a unit on Greece and Rome. This is just perfect for the kids to look at while learning about the ancient civilization. The modle takes patience to make, especially all the little pillars. But the end result is so neat!

I like this model temple it is fun to build. We had to use a hot glue gun to glue the columns on. There is lots of scoring and folding to do on this model. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is finished.
