[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 4449772, member: 336"] Good for you. The better the color resolution on this the more awesome that they will look. VillageWorks and CaveWorks are probably the easiest sets to work with. Most of those are simple "box folds." I think the most intricate model for village works is the well and for CaveWorks probably the bridge. They are also very modular in that respect so that you do not need to build every single model to get a good amount of terrain. Skull Cove and ArenaWorks would fall on the medium build time because of their size. ArenaWorks specially is very themed and you'd need to build a lot of it to get a functioning arena. I think HarborMaster falls somewhere in between VillageWorks and Skull Cove on the level of complexity. However it is a simple enough build since it is just one building and pier. CastleWorks Ultimate is a medium build time because there are only one or two sections that are complex. However it requires a lot of buildings (walls) to complete the build so I'd put it on the medium plus category. In the fantasy section the most involved builds are definitely The Manor, which I'd peg at advanced minus, and The Maiden, which I'd peg at about advanced plus. Even the more advanced sets are not so difficult, it is just that they can be time consuming. For example, The Maiden, IMO the most difficult of their fantasy builds, takes about 20 hours of build time simply because you need for the glue in some areas to set properly before continuing the build. Oh and btw, the most important thing about building these is going to be your glue. Try to avoid the liquid qlues as they will tend to warp your builds as the glue sets. I use 3M Super77 Multipurpose Adhesive, almost exclusively, for most of my foldable walls. It sets almost immediately so you have to be very careful but it will not warp. For the pesky little tabs I use an Elmer's Glue Stick though I've started to use U-HU glue pens and those work much better. [/QUOTE]
