A great Orrery, was fun to build, looks very impressive while moving. You must follow the correct sequence of construction. However I've found a few issues with some of the axles (70-71) in the planet... See more

All is well
The orrery is now assembled and working perfectly. We are very pleased with the model. However during assembly I found that two of the collars had not been tapped all the way through and the grub screws were sticking. I was able to rectify this fault and all is well.

Very impressed with the quality of the product and presentation, however once assembled I'm having to contact the suppliers as I'm convinced I have a faulty part which needs replacing, and is causing the model to fail. As yet this has not even been acknowledged by the supplier so my satisfaction rating will need addressing depending on the outcome.
If possible I'll keep you updated.

Easy to order
Easy to order, Telegraph discount. Rapid delivery but make sure you are an early riser as notification of delivery from the courier, DPD was timed at just after 0600 with delivery at about 0730.Well packed and presented in layered trays of polystyrene. I have not explored beyond the first layer as this will be an after Christmas project.

The orrery came exactly on time and was extremely well packaged. It hasn't been opened yet as it is a Christmas present, so cannot comment on how easy it is to assemble
