Dad bought this for me so it's not going to be a verified purchase. However, I did just finish putting it together along with 4 other outland models. This one was tough. This doesnt snap together but has slots. I had to use a knife to fix the slots. For not really having a lot of pieces it was a pain in the u-know-what lol. I'll need to do some serious creative landscaping to hide the edges that just refused to fit together.
