Hallelujah I finished my bookstore. With some patience and helpful hints I managed to remove the stickers from my damaged door onto my replacement door. Got door in without breaking it but guess what broke another part… luckily that was easy to repair with some glue and black paint.
All in all this was a difficult build for me. The sides/ pieces were really hard to fit together and applying alot of force caused me to break fragile pieces. So many books were fun to make but to be honest they were hard to get to stick in baskets, shelves etc.
Oh yeah, it doesn’t seem like an easy kit. Some people have found it challenging and even annoying! But you’ve done it pretty good all things considered!
I think every builder has a love-hate relationship with those tiny baskets of books! They look so cozy once they’re in, but getting them to stay put is like herding cats. I’m impressed you managed to fix the break with just some glue and black pain! Sometimes a little "battle scar” just adds to the vintage charm of an old bookstore. Enjoy your well-earned rest!
This was not an easy kit, I agree. I broke almost everything I touched. I was able to salvage everything and ended up happy at the end. But I feel your pain!
@Carmie it looks great thank your for the honest reaview ill stay clear off this one as i can be prone to breaking things and i try so hard not to xxxx:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
