The next of our hobby kits for adults is the enigmatic U-9 Grand Prix Car by Ugears that has an inner mechanical drive with cogs, pistons and gears and everything else you’d expect to find under the bonnet of a real sports car.

If you prefer the theme of your model-making to be a touch more serene and tranquil, then the Grandfather Clock by Wooden City most certainly fits the bill.
