Review:
As a huge Potterhead I've been slowly collecting the Incredibuild model kits, they're fun to make and look fab on my bookshelves so what's not to love about them. The Erumpent only has 36 pieces so it was one of the easiest ones to make so far but I still enjoyed putting it together and I'm really happy with the finished model.

As with all of these kits it comes with a small booklet with further informant about Fantastic Beasts and Erumpants in particular, covering things like how they came up with the animal's design for the movie and the animation etc. There's not much reading involved but it's a nice extra to include. They also give you tips on painting your model to make it look even more realistic but like I've said before I'm happy enough with the wooden model.

Review:
I really enjoy making these Incredibuild models and the Niffler one is adorable. They're pretty easy to make and come with clear instructions. My main advice would be to take your time popping the pieces out from the board they come on and only take each piece out as you're ready to attach it to the model (the parts are all numbered and the instructions make it very easy to tell which piece you need next). The other thing is to be careful slotting the pieces together, try not to force them because it wouldn't be too difficult to break the wood, just go slowly and you'll have a fab finished model in no time. If you'd like to paint your model it would probably be best to do that before putting the pieces together but I'm happy to leave mine undecorated.

The book itself is only about 25 pages but it has a character profile for the main characters of Fantastic Beasts and some interesting snippets about some of the Beasts and how they used puppets to place the Niffler on screen to give the actors something to look at but then removed the pupped and added a digital Niffler in production afterwards.

The models in this set all make great little decorations for your bookcase, they're fun and fairly easy to make and are sure to be a hit with any Harry Potter fans.
