- Includes glue, base board, and detailed step-by-step instructions.
- Finished dimensions: approx. 215 × 690 × 355 mm.
- Difficulty: advanced model-builders — requires patience and precision. (inferred from piece count)
Historical Context
The Stari Most is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most iconic landmarks. Originally constructed in the 16th century by Ottoman architect Hajrudin, it symbolised unity and cultural heritage. The bridge was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian War and later rebuilt using traditional materials and methods.
Why Build This Kit
- Perfect for architecture enthusiasts and historical modelers.
- A beautiful display piece that celebrates cultural heritage.
- Improves fine motor skills and offers a meditative building experience.
Building Tips
- Use a clean, flat workspace and good lighting to help with placement of micro-bricks.
- Apply glue sparingly — too much can damage delicate ceramic pieces.
- Follow the instructions carefully for the arch section — its curvature is critical for structural accuracy.
- Allow completed sections to dry thoroughly before moving to the next area.
Recommended for: advanced model makers, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates detailed architectural craftsmanship.
