r/DIYModelKits

I bought this for next to nothing on TEMU, figured it would be durable enough for my two and a half year old grandaughter to use as a nightlight.

I was not expecting what I got, quality materials, good fit, really clever design. I used some primary color acrylic markers on the inside layers and then kind of liked the wood grain on the outside when it was done so I used a dark walnut stain instead of paint.

It's usb powered wirh nice diffused back lighting that really makes the moon and stars pop. THe big suprise was that it's also a bluetooth speaker.

I've spent 10 times the amount on other kits and not been this pleased with the results.

Music park doesn't have a big presense that I can find but I'd certainly try another of their kits after this.

Ist zwar kein Booknook, aber das habe ich als Hochzeitsgeschenk gebaut.

What a interesting build. Different look that I'm used to. Very gritty and realistic, i like it. looks like you are looking down a real alley.

Took me a bit to get used to the boards being named very descriptivly instead of A,B,C. The alpha bet is fine for me. The numbers were also tiny and there were a number of 'volunteers' that dropped right off the boards so I needed to be carefull not to mix them up, part numbers are not on the parts but next to them.

As another poster mentioned there were some extra pieces that never had a place to go, they even were called out as pieces to get ready for the next step. Not a biggy, into my spare parts box they go.

I really liked the lack of 2d flat pieces in this model, that's the stuff I always end up replacing so there is very little customization. I added fish to the empty table and added some plants that looked like weeds in the front. I also replaced the cat with a little doggo. Imagine that, a book nook with zero books and zero cats!

Biggest plus, the lit up lanterns at the top, they really came out nice.

Biggest minus, the lack of a dust cover, although dust might look good on this interior.

All and all a great addition to my shelf and I look forward to more kits from this vendor.
