About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Bogatyrs

 DaVici, 500 pieces (1 missing). Very elaborate puzzle that wasn't as hard as it initially looked--color variations emerged as I finished different sections. Lots of scenes on the back that apparently fit basically into three shield shapes; many different knights fighting different monsters that I assume come from Russian folktales. 3/5 good example of its type



I thought those ropes on the back might indicate an alternate solution but I couldn't figure anything out

a good head on his shoulders?

fighting a dragon


did the tree need the skull to be creepy? see also the knights yelling in each other's faces at bottom

another dragon


fighting a witch

another witch or something else?
