Images by Susan Brabeau make great puzzles, but unfortunately, most of them seem to be by Sunsout. That said, this wasn’t too bad, the fit wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. All in all, this was really enjoyable.
I love the sign on the wall above the ladies:
Funny old Heye from 1987, where a farmer has failed to check the field for lovers before harvesting. There were two pieces missing, which was no surprise, the box was falling apart, and while the pieces were in a plastic bag, the bag was open. It would have been a miracle if all the pieces had been there. It was still fun to do, and the pieces that were there were in excellent condition.
I am back in Dortmund for a week (there’s a game on Sunday), but before I left, I finished another adorable monster from the Zozoville series. I was expecting the fur to be really difficult, but it wasn’t too bad. In fact, this was very enjoyable from start to finish, not least because of the great quality.
The fourth and last puzzle in the Days Out series is set in Brighton. I think the green bus is my favourite vehicle in the series 🙂 All of the puzzles were pretty easy, and I finished two of them in one sitting (two sittings, actually, one for each puzzle).
The third of the puzzles in the Days Out set. The round building is the Radcliffe Camera that serves as a reading room to the Bodleian library. I did this in one sitting, it’s very hard to leave these puzzles once you’ve gotten started 🙂
The second in my set of four Ravensburgers is an image of York, with the famous cathedral in the background. The blue vehicle (I hesitate to call it a car) in the foreground looks intriguing, I think it only has three wheels! I also enjoyed the old ads for Polo and KitKat on the bus and on the delivery van. This was even more fun than the first one!
This is the first in a set of four Ravensburger 500-piece puzzles. The set belongs to the Happy Days-series, and all four images are of vintage English scenes. I especially like the old cars and buses. I chose to do this first, because it had the most vegetation, and even so, I enjoyed it enormously!
Wonderful puzzle with planets and information about them. Pluto is included, although there’s a note that it is no longer considered a planet. There was lot’s of information about the planets, like mass and temperature.
I especially liked the panel on the left showing the relative sizes of the different planets. Here’s Jupiter, and underneath Mars is just a tiny dot:
This was one of the Made in Germany Eurographics, and while the cut is as good as ever, I noticed that they’re using thinner board than they used to. Not too bad, but obviously, I prefer the thicker board.
This was a nice enough rural scene type puzzle, in fact it’s #3 in the Rural Crafts series. I’m not usually a fan of vegetation in puzzles, and I could have done without the trees here 🙂
There is actually something strange in the way the farrier is working:
I found another puzzle that I completed last year and forgot to post about. Educa is usually not my favourite brand, but this was nice.
