This came mostly done packaged up in another jigsaw I got at the Green Shed (two for one!). But since there was no box, I fixed it up, took a photo, then pulled it apart to do another day. Finally got around to doing it. I didn't look at the picture while I was doing it, didn't really need to. Not a great jigsaw - everything very furry and out of focus. Printed out the photo and stuck it on a box to pack it up.
I think this was from the Green Shed from ages ago. I've got a version of this of Sydney, so it was fun to do London.
First there's the 1666 city map
Then the modern city map
Then you have all the little buildings!
Complete
Some closeups of the buildings.
These next three were from Crossy.
Flight of Fantasy. Very soft
Confabulation of Dragons. I thought it should have been called a Conflagration of Dragons. Lots of dragons!
Lady Unicorn. There was a lot of red in this!
This was from R&F for my birthday. I was a bit annoyed about the edges - they were cut identically so you couldn't tell whether they were correct or not. Which would have been fine if there was any distinguishing features, but for the most part there wasn't, they were all just dark.
Here's an example of how the edges would fit even if they were wrong
And finished!
SPOILERS!!!
Once the jigsaw is complete you then need to solve six puzzles from clues in the picture. So three of the puzzles I got right. One was a maths problem, but it was one of those linear arithmetic problems where if you don't do the "correct" method of multiplying first you get a different answer. So I wasn't sure which way they'd do it so got two possible answers. One I got with a hint, but it depended on the edge pieces being in the right position, which I wasn't sure about. The last one I essentially got, but took myself off on a tangent because I was overthinking it.
So yeah as it turned out, you needed the edges to be the same for the "solution" to work.
Weirdly, they include all the offcuts, which they tell you you can discard. The only reason I can think of that they'd do this is that because the edge pieces are so necessary for the solution that they don't want them to get discarded accidentally during packaging.
We borrowed this from another floor. I didn't do a huge amount of it, just helped out here and there.
