A work in progress TILT-A-WHIRL

I just love customizing each and every model. There are so may details on these models that so many are not even noticed when the project is complete. I am trying to get every detail on this one

The tiny details that make each model unique! It’s awesome that you’re putting so much effort into getting every little thing perfect.

@Lisa_Miller thank you. Yes, I do try…and efter 80 plus models, I just keep trying harder. These models are not cheap and it extends the life of the build. In the end, you have something that is far different from the rest…and that is what makes it so special for me. I try to inspire others to do so as well.

I guess it is Tilt-A-Whirl! You’re giving it a completely different vibe with your unique color palette! :+1:

@Robotime, thank you! I always want to make my own color palette. That is why I was so happy to see the cuckoo clock available unpainted. Even though I have painted over many (already painted) models, it is awesome to start with a fresh palette.

@Lisa_Miller I hope this inspires you to do the same as well. Ive seen this same model hundreds of times, but I never noticed SO many details on the sides. Yes, it takes time, but SO worth it.

Thank you so much @Wenbare . My job is house-painting so I’ve got a few years of experience with a brush (like 35) :blush:

It really shows! All of your creations looks awesome

@Wenbare Thanks. The funny thing is…when I first started building these in December of 2023, it never even crossed my mind to paint them. After about 6 or 7 builds, I joined the ROKR fans page and saw SO many painted ones. I’ve painted all 75 of them since then.

Totally agree — it’s those little hidden details that make it so special! You’ve definitely inspired me to slow down and really take my time with the next build

When you start, you can never stop :rofl:
It’s like when I started personalizing my miniatures, now I need to make something different on them, anything! haha

SOOO worth it in the end @Lisa_Miller …Another plus is that it saves you money on buying more kits because it takes a LOT longer. I am on Day 6 with this one. Building times says about 5.5 hours. :rofl:
