I'm working on a cool cyber book nook and wanted to know if anyone has tried adding black lights or black light fairy lights to any of your builds. If so, did you use individual lights or fairy lights and did you replace the existing lights or just add them in addition (some come with their own little battery compartments) to the lights that came with the kit?
Overall a great kit. I love the curved staircase and all the characters from the story. I did very little customization - painted the edges and added a few resin roses for 3D effect. I wanted to add more, but my 1st order the flowers and vines were too large, and my second order the vines were too plastic and not very malleable and the flowers were on both sides. There was no room to wrap them anywhere so I just left them out. Even so, it still looks magical to my inner child. 🙂
This has been fun to build so far. This is probably an earlier version of the instruction booklet, because the parts list is not perferated like they are now.The most complicated part has been the wiring, only because there are so many lights (which I think is a good thing).
I forgot to post my progress yesterday, so I'm doing it today ..
I was trying to wait for the next event, but I just couldnt wait to build something....
I had fun building this FifiJoy original. The bottom floor had so much detail, to me the top seems some what bare; but, if it was meant to be an Egyptian Temple, then it makes sense. I didnt do a lot of customization - I just used two wood markers and two acrylic markers. The rest is the standard kit.
This has been a fun break from the gears and musicbox builds. Don't get me wrong, I love doing those, but sometimes its fun to do something else. I'm fascinated by Ancient Egypt, so when I saw this kit, I had to get it. I would consider it more of a miniature because some of the pieces are very tiny. I had bought some 3D Egyptian figures, but they are in a box somewhere after my move. So, when I find them, I will see if there is room to add any. As you can see, there is a lot going on inside this tomb!
It took me longer than expected, but life happened again. I had fun with this one - carousels just tend to send me back to childhood memories. The instructions were clear and all the pieces were nice thick wood and fit perfectly. I got the figurines from Amazon and used glue dots to stick them on. I hope the video brings joy to those who watch it. ☺️
I got a late start on this, but here we are. I enjoyed seeing what the "guts" of a carousel look like. Then, with each step the pieces slowly create something magical from childhood memories.
