I think that at first glance, this is an ambitious kit and I can see why. There are quite a few different parts involved in making Gary and it feels intimidating as a result.
As a kit, as always, everything was provided. From the materials to the video tutorials as well as the written pattern. I made a tiny mistake on the placement of Gary's spots and the swirl on one side of his shell, but I don't mind it; it just shows that my Gary is mine! 😁 I DID, add a small band around the edge of the shell as a bit of a personal touch and to mimic the little raised lip on Gary's shell in the show!
One note about this kit is that I had a tiny bit of trouble attaching Gary's eyes onto his body. Stitch markers weren't much help in holding the eyestalks in place, so I did end up breaking out sewing pins to hold things in place as I sewed.
Another is that I wish that there was a segment showing us how the eyestalk was getting sewed into the body. I know there is a tutorial to show how to sew one 3D piece to another, but even then it took a bit, for me, to get it right.
Overall, a great kit that I would totally recommend!
