For this review feature we received the Master Models Star Wars R2-D2 Paper Model Kit. As a big fan of the Star Wars genre, hubby was really excited to get this paper building kit into his hands.
The kit includes:
* 48-page book on the adventures of R2-D2
* 12 Sheets of die-cut pieces with metallic ink printing
* push-button light and sound module with 3 authentic sounds
* detailed instruction booklet on how to construct the model
With the Star Wars Master Models: R2-D2 Kit you can give this little droid his due. Relive his many heroic adventures across the galaxy with the included book R2-D2: Galactic Hero and then build a highly-detailed papercraft model of everyone’s favorite R2 unit, complete with lights and sound! Licensed by Disney and LucasFilm.
ISBN: 978-0-7603-5505-3
Approx. Build Time: 15-20 Hours
Ages: 14 years and up
The entire kit comes packaged in what looks-like an over-sized book. You open up the flap and inside you’ll find the paper model pieces, instruction booklet and the paperback Star Wars R2-D2 Galactic Hero Book by Benjamin Harper.
My husband read through the instructions and then got busy popping out the paper pieces. He found it easier to pop out just the one’s that he needed as he went along in building the model. He also opted to use a glue stick (the kind that’s made for paper and for scrapbooking) as it really holds together the paper pieces nicely.
Overall, it took my husband about 2 1/2 weeks to fully build his new Star Wars R2-D2 Model and he’s really happy with how it turned out! He will be displaying it on the bar down in his man cave in our basement. Fabulous project!
Looking to buy the Master Models Star Wars R2-D2 Paper Model Kit? Amazon currently has it for a really great price! This would make a great gift for any Star Wars fan or collector.

It’s time to turn off the TV and turn on your brain with the new Mind Stretcher Puzzle Book from Reader’s Digest. The 192-page paperback book is jam-packed with puzzles including crosswords, word searches, trivia, logic and numerical games, all designed to build your brain muscles.

Mind Stretchers are portable with lay-flat binding that makes it easy for any puzzle-lover to train their brain on the go. Each puzzle book is affordable with a MSRP of $12.99 which makes them an affordable gift to give this holiday season. There are currently two books in the series with two more coming in Spring 2018.
My husband enjoys puzzle books and a few times every week I catch him working on a puzzle or two! During the evening hours we like to sit in our family room and he’ll work on his puzzle books, while I work in my adult coloring books. It’s a great way to relax and unwind after a long day.
The Reader’s Digest Mind Stretchers Volume 1 is the perfect puzzle book for my husband! ISBN: 9781621453512 This 192-page book contains a wide variety of different puzzles for him to work on. You’ll find number puzzles, Sodoku, crossword puzzles, logic puzzles, word searches, instant brainteasers and more!
One of the things he really likes about this puzzle book is its size. It’s not one of those mini or small sizes that you typically find out there in the stores. Since it’s a larger size, it allows him (yes, at his old age) to see and read the puzzles without squinting and straining his eyes. It’s NOT large print, but a really nice sized book.
Some of the puzzles are printed in black & white and others are printed in full-color. At the back of the book you’ll find an easy-to-use answer’s section, so you can double check your answers as you go along. Regarding the skill level, he said he would rate them as “moderate”. He appreciates that they’re not super-easy or extremely-hard, a nice in-between skill level.
Looking for a great gift for the puzzle book lover in your life? Hubby said he highly recommends the new Reader’s Digest Mind Stretchers puzzle book!
