Step into the golden age of film with this beautifully crafted DIY Retro 3D Wooden Film Projector Kit. With 183 laser-cut wooden pieces, this hand crank vitascope model is more than just a fun project—it’s a working film projector that actually plays a clip from Chaplin’s iconic “Modern Times”. Designed for curious minds and vintage lovers, it makes an unforgettable gift for teens and adults alike. Whether you’re an avid builder, a film enthusiast, or simply love meaningful, hands-on experiences, this kit promises both challenge and charm.
Perfect for ages 14 and up, or younger builders with a little help from an adult, this 3D puzzle takes around four hours to assemble. The included English instructions are clear and easy to follow, with each piece labeled for a smooth assembly process. No glue needed—each piece fits securely with precision-cut buckles.
