Bombardment of Algiers

The Bombardment of Algiers

Ravensburger

3168 pieces

32" x 48"

purchased used from Amazon ($32), assured complete but of course it was missing two pieces

Difficulty level: way harder than I thought. The 9000-piece version must be a beast.

After opening the box, the thing that struck me is that there were very few pieces that were clearly definable as belonging in a specific section--outside of the broad expanses of yellow, blue, and purple/pink, all the ship/water pieces were pretty blobby and I knew it was going to be a tough build.

I figured I would just do the sky first and get it out of the way.

The final push . . .
