So, I’ve never heard of Robotime, ROKR or any of this before yet I just completed my very first build. How? Thanks to my friend @Profile - Liset - Robotime Community her great ideas :).
She convinced me to try and build my very first ROKR set and so I did. Dedicated as I was knowing it would take me evenings and evenings of my time because of the hectic life I started the AK-47 Assault Rifle build as a decoration for our game room.
As a newbie in this I started without a decent plan, just go with the flow and see where it takes me. I soon learned that the big wooden plates with all the pieces in them would drop the pieces when pressing too hard making it a treasure hunt for me to find the right piece.
After a while I got the hang of it and finished my first big part of the gun which contained most of the springs and parts which made the AK-47 functional. Pretty cool seeing it shoot rubber bands from a part which I just spend 2 hours on building it.
I continued the next day (day 2) and worked for another 3,5 / 4 hours on it and finished part after part which, in parts, made it look increasingly like an AK-47.
With the last finishing touches and joy of seeing my first build come to an end I pieced the last parts together. With only a small crack in one of the less significant wooden pieces which was on the inside of the AK-47 I can say I was happy with the result.
The package came with a couple of wooden soldiers. Two of them have died before being able to ever shoot a rubber band at them. The wooden legs which had to be pressed in the stand were too fragile and broke off, sad but I gave both a well-deserved army funeral.
I’m pretty sure I’ll do another build; guess it will be another gun as decoration for our game room. Shotgun maybe?
