Astshun Paddle Steamer 3D Wooden Puzzle is a vintage-style steamboat in natural wood, with paddle wheels you can turn by hand once it is built.

Why it is listed here

Many mechanical wooden kits use a motor or a spring, while this one stays simple with a hand-turned axle and paddle wheels. Its parts are laser-cut to fit without glue or special tools, so there is nothing extra to prepare before you start. At 319 pieces and 2-4 hours, it is a shorter build than a large ship model and suits a single afternoon.

What the build involves

The listing says no glue or special tools are needed, so test each joint for fit before pressing it fully home. Check that the axle and paddle wheels turn freely as you assemble them, because they are the moving feature of the model. There are no batteries to plan for, as this is a non-powered display model.
