What’s funny is that the very first piece in the kit, the rocking chair, was where I completely messed up. I accidentally ruined one of the chair’s backrest. I guess I used a little too much force, maybe my wrist is healing a bit too well.
My second challenge was the curtain sticker. It needed to wrap all the way around and while peeling it off the backing, I wasn’t careful enough and it split into four pieces. I honestly thought that was the end of the kit for me! Thankfully, I managed to place all the pieces back where they belonged and pretended nothing ever happened.
Aside from those two mishaps, I think everything turned out pretty well. The colors are so charming and Snorkmaiden is just too adorable. I found myself stopping every now and then just to admire all the little details and the cuteness.
You poor thing breaking the rocking chair. You can’t tell in the final build.
I had issues with the stickers as well, so you aren’t alone in that.
Great job with the build.
It looks like you’re off to a wonderful start! I love that you didn’t let those little mishaps stop you. The best builds always seem to have a funny story behind them! Snorkmaiden is absolutely adorable, and the soft colors make the whole scene feel so cheerful and cozy. Congratulations again on your prize, and I can’t wait to see the finished Garden Party come to life!
