I have seen laser cut kits before, assembled a few architecture ones and even printed my own on our laser cutter. Been peeking at a book nook train files set for Christmas. Have not seen any ones that are actually moving.
With (cheap) laser cut kits usually also the manual quality also gets cut, sadly. Wish it wasn't that way because generally they have great potential. I really hope you won't start blasting it apart.
I am curious however, is the rubber band entirely build in? Since it's in the first few steps, could you still replace it if/when it wears out?

Thanks, after a while you will see that I am very sarcastic and wouldn't waste bullets on something like this, but the thought is there.
The motive power is from the wound-up spring, the rubber band was my idea to get past that step and I think it's time I cut if off, but I'm afraid if I do, I may need it if I have to get to the spring again. If there were only two steps to assemble this, step #1 would be, "hold spring in air", step #2, "build model around spring"....
