@joy.licerio pausing Sakura Densya and choosing a geared build is a bold little upgrade. You are already doing the most important first-time gear habit: wax, test, and move patiently before forcing anything. Please keep us posted on how Sunset Carnival feels compared with your usual builds.
This was a fun project for me, too - except for the creaking sound of the mechanism but i’ve come to accept that it’s part of the charm of a wooden kit. I hope you enjoy building this.
I think that’s the perfect way to make the waiting easier! A gear-driven build is such a fun challenge, and it’s always exciting to try something new. Before you know it, your replacement part will arrive and you’ll have two amazing builds to enjoy. Happy building!
Funny thing was that when I opened the box, I couldnt find the wax. I had to SOS to know where it is. I thought it was a cover for something, turns out it was the wax!
I’m enjoying every bit of it. I have already installed the rubber attached to the Sky wheel and thankfully, I havent encountered any problems so far. What a relief!
Oh I dont sand.. oh my gee! I just wax way too much that I have ran out but I still have some to build. Tested every change and pray hard everything will be ok…
