Wonderful Product
Hi,
We are still in process to use the product but the student has a big desire to do so. Child has other items he has to complete first so there are not too many pieces lost around the house. Thank you for prompt service and answering our questions. You have great products!

Amazing products and great customer service!
I've purchased 2 different kits from Barnabas for my girl scout troop and the girls loved them both! The projects are fun, interesting, and exciting to build! The tutorial videos are really great and the customer service is exceptional!
