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.

Grand Circuit des Capitales, Jan-Loup

 Liberty, 729 pieces. Old-timey image, lots of new Liberty whimsies--at least new to me, and some new styles as well, like the partial Buddha (maybe supposed to be tilted on the ground?) and the elaborate multipiece horse done in thin strips, as well as nearly-connected whimsies like the train and its nearby smoke plume. Two alternate solutions that I found add to the interest. Overall, a lot to like. 4/5




multipiece boat and pavilion

elephant and rider

leaning Buddha and bear

more bear and multipiece dancer

bull

mermaid on unusual shell background

many leaning structures

a tilting windmill and a Viking ship

multipiece dancer

Taj Mahal

alternate solution
