Of note is the sticker with the metric dimensions that is applied to the box, as is the case with almost all of the Rose Art / Kodak puzzles that I have. For this piece count, the dimension has been translated from 13 inches to 300 mm, which is clearly wrong. 300 mm is less than 12 inches; perhaps 330 mm would have been more accurate.
Built generally by colour, beginning with the rocks in the lower left corner and working anti-clockwise around the image to finish off somewhere in the lower right corner.
Thin card, with the interior pieces all being of PHPH form, but they fit together extremely well to create a tight mat that can be picked up and held vertically without any danger of disintegration.
If you like the US made MB and Golden Guild puzzles, then I can recommend this range in terms of subject, build, and overall quality. The biggest difference would be the smaller - and more regularly shaped - pieces, and thus smaller pictures, in this range when compared to those named above.
Bought more jigsaws…
DONE: 465 puzzles (303423 nominal piece count). TO DO: 939 puzzles (1177100 nominal piece count).
