Beautiful artwork, but a struggle nonetheless.
I was immediately drawn to this kit upon seeing it, placing an order, and kitting it up as soon as it arrived. Everything started well enough, though quickly took a bit of a turn. Most of the colours in my kit were full of trash drills, and I mean way more than you would expect from a DAC kit. I nearly ran out of a few colours because I threw away heaps of drills with holes or extra tabs attached. Many of the drills were also inconsistently sized, leading to gaps on some parts of the canvas, and severe bunching in others. The drills are almost all slanting when placed, too, which I don't quite understand as I've never encountered this issue with a square drill kit before. The artwork is gorgeous, the canvas is soft and nice to work with, but those drills... I have 4 sections left to go and I'm not even sure I will finish. I shouldn't want to burst into tears of frustration while working on a project, and this one has gotten me quite close, more than once. At least, when you stand back from the canvas by a few feet, it doesn't look as awful as it does when you're right up on it. It's possible I just got a poorly put-together kit because I know others who have done this one without a problem.
