Roman Centurion Helmet Building Set, Compatible with Lego, STEM Gift Toy for Adults, Display Model Kit for Adults to Build, Gift Idea, Collectible Home Decor Model, (596PCS)

The quality is good and the build instructions are straight forward, no issues. Looks cool’s once finished. The pictures don’t do it justice. Looks great in a study or a bookcase. Definitely recommend if you’re a fan of Roma.

My son enjoyed this one!

The directions were easy to follow and the build went smoothly.

Great

Giftable box of Lego compatible bricks "Centurion" helmet. Great for kids/adults interested in history who also love building with Legos. Not incredibly simple to put together, so maybe ages 10 and up. Instructions were great, but it had an interesting design. The horsehair crest is supposed to be transverse for Centurions, rather than center-line, which is the only thing I quibble with, as it's not historically accurate. The Centurions would be the only one's with the sideways crest, so the other soldiers were able to easily identify them. However, it has embossed eyebrows, and circular brass bosses, like in the center of a shield, which is accurate. The neck guard and the cheek guards are also accurate, but the cheek guards are moveable, which is a good detail. Not full size to what a helmet would be, but it is in the scale of the star wars mini-helmets that they have been releasing in the past few years. So fits nicely in with that collection, if you have those. It's nice to see manufacturers taking more of an interest in antiquity, even if it's just a legionary helmet or a lower rank like an optio. But glad to have something for those interested in Roman history. Could also work for a Pretorian guard helmet. So misnamed as a Centurion helmet, but accurate to the style of the helmet in those days. Imperial Gallic style helmet would be more accurate, around the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Classic image from the time of Augustus. If they made one with the Centurion crest, I would buy that too. Could probably alter it, but didn't want to mess with it and mess it up. And can you tell I'm a history major? I want more historical helmet models!

This Roman helm is a nice alternative to the plethora of Star Wars heads released in the last several years.THE BRICKS are rather good. None were loose and none clutched too tight. The colors are very consistent and the bronze painted pieces were excellently coated. Aside from the typical injection marks, these are top-notch. If you cover all the studs you can’t tell them from Lego.THE INSTRUCTIONS are clear and detailed. None of the steps call for more than 7-8 pieces at a time so it’s easy to follow. There aren’t many colors to use here so no worries about grabbing the wrong shade of gray.THE BUILD was rather interesting. It starts with the stand, then the internal support, the four sides of the helm, and finally the feather duster on top. I’d have liked the surface to be covered in flat plates instead of studs, but that’s part of the appeal for a lot of folks.There’s a fair amount of repetition since you are making two symmetrical sides. As this is a small build, boredom never gets a chance to set in.There are a few clever bits of engineering, especially with the attachments of the cheek protectors and the nape guard across the back. But the red thing on the top is what grabs the eye. The designer took the unusual step of having the bottoms of the bricks on top which softens the look just enough.The photos don’t really do this justice. It’s an unusual display piece that stands out in a crowd. It was well worth building and I’ll be seeking out other creations from Givenni to build.Made in China.

Had a lot of fun putting this together, probably took me about an hour while being occasionally distracted at my computer. Nice little shelf piece when your done with it. Instructions are easy to follow.

I collect a lot of buildable helmets and this one was a great addition. It's different from most of everything else I have, so this was a great find. The instructions were easy to follow and a cinch to put together. The value and the presentation of the box make it a great gift option as well.Happy building 😀

Un plaisir à construire. Belle conception.
