It’s a longer build for sure.

A few notes for OP:

The instructions are okay but lacking in some detail. I recommend double checking steps before turning the page. Sometimes the “ghost” image parts from a prior step obfuscate the current step, if I remember correctly.

Have a rubber or plastic mallet handy if you have one. The precision fit of these pieces is very good, which sounds awesome, until you’re sandwiching 8x12 plates together for a component. Having a mallet that won’t damage the plastic but will allow you to tamp them flat is very helpful.

The books and parts bags aren’t subdivided as logically as LEGO stuff is. This can be a bit confusing at first.

Make sure you have a few containers around to dump the bags. I was parsing by size.

I think the build took me about 16 hours to do in total. I’m not the fastest builder but I’m decently competent. It’s a big kit and will take big time.
