I brought this model for my child in 4th grade, who is very interested in cells. The cell and the internal parts are by itself colorful, decently sized objects made of quality materials. But the transparent cover for the model is not designed right, and it takes much effort from an adult to put the cover on the model and shut it. The mounting is of poor quality and the model fell of the pedestal after a few days since the small beam that holds the heavy cell onto the pedestal got frayed at the edges. All this happened within a week of us having the model.

We used the model gently, in spite of which it is only partially usable now. I have mixed opinions about it, and I strongly believe that every component in a model should be of good quality, since you will be unable to assemble it and mount it, thanks to a couple of inferior parts.

Agree with everything the reviewer on Feb 2011 stated. The best thing about it is the ability to take out the individual parts and put them back in like a puzzle, which seems to aid in familiarization of the pieces and where they are located. The organelle pieces are made of somewhat hard plastic mounted in the soft plastic (cytoplasm) which seems for the most part to hold to the pieces well, except for a couple of peroxisome which seem to only stay when they are put in a specific designated spot for them. The colors are very good although I have become accustom to seeing mitochondria as green not red as they appear in the model. Definitely recommend. I will now be looking into purchasing other models manufactured by 4D Master.

Ok, this is my second try in leaving a review so I will be brief.

This model is made of durable materials, it is detalied and painted in vivid colors. The nucleus has a plexiglass window and all fits well so it can be assembled and displayed on its base. Has a nice translucid finish and the booklet explains briefly the functions of the parts. I recommend it for display, as a puzzle and as an educational model.

Honest reviews on Famemaster 4D-Science Animal Cell Anatomy Model

The model of both the Famemaster 4D animal and plant cells are great products after you get them together. I have 2 children (4th and 5th grade) and they were able to put 90% of the model together, but the plastic cover is impossible for anyone other than a strong, very patient person to get on. Personally, we cracked the cover on the plant model and simply decided to use it without it because it was broken during the process of creation. If you want to buy these products, just skip the cover...it just doesn't install easily.

The model looked good and worked well as a "puzzle". I had a little trouble getting the cover to fit, but got it. I was hoping for more from the illustrated guidebook, but I guess it's not really necessary.
