Count Cat Study 🐈📖 Not Robotime!

[Emma_Samchek]

Hey everyone! Happy Monday to you all

Its lightly snowing where I am and it is beautiful A beautiful day to build!

I love the end result of this build but I didnt like the materials as much as I love Robotime’s materials. I made a little Pros & Cons list comparing it to Robotime.

Pro’s:
The graphics were very vibrant and detailed
I quite liked that I got to choose either a male or female character to sit in the chair
I love the door concept and the plastic protector
The lights are just “plug and play”, you plug lights into a board like Robotimes
I quite like the battery compartment, its different

Cons’s
◇ Materials were flimsy, i almost broke a ton a pieces
◇ The wooden sheets smells horrible I honestly needed them to air out. The glue had such a string smell to the point where i used Robotime glue strips for the build (thank you Robotime for always giving extra glue )
◇ The instructions were one page, front and back. Barely any detail to the instructions, i missed details easily (I did end up fixing everything and making use it was made properly)
◇ It was so hard to find the perfect spot for the touch pad to work and glueing that board is a bad idea in my opinion, they didnt give you any lines to show you where to put things.

Thats all I pretty much have to say on this build. I hope you all enjoy the progress of this build It was a fun learning curve!

I love this little cat detail

And heres the end result!

Other then the crazy journey to build this, I love the results and happy i attempted this build. The build threw a few boulders at me but i was able to push through them. I hope you all enjoy the photo progress

Happy Holidays everyone!

Interesting! The candles look really good. Lots of great objects and details. I like how it closes so to speak.
Nice job @Emma_Samchek and thanks for the pros and cons!

[Emma_Samchek]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve seen it around and I wanted to get it because I love the Ghibli movie The Cat Returns and this just reminds me of it!

You definitely did a great job considering the mini challenges you faced!

The cat shaped door is pretty cute. I have to say.

[Emma_Samchek]

I know right! Thats one of the main reasons on why i got it

[JDisaduck]

Yesssss I love studio Ghibli! I’m thinking of doing something with that theme but it’s rather daunting so I need to think.

Thanks for sharing @Emma_Samchek . This is a beautiful kit. but for what you have gone through, I probably would not want to consider it. But very nice result that you have pulled it together.

[Emma_Samchek]

If you do anything, make sure to post lots of photos! Id love to see it!

[Emma_Samchek]

Thank you! Im not sure why the smell was an issue for this build, ive never had a problem before lol

[Tricia12]

It could be the chemical they use to treat the wood or the paint that they use. I’m actually quite concern when they have strong smell, especially with glue as well. It can be toxic to inhale.

The final result looks fantastic! Even with the challenges, you created such a charming piece. That little cat detail is adorable!

[Emma_Samchek]

Thank you so much!

This is a typical book nook. I made several of these. I have a direct number to someone in the company but the quality of the kits differ a lot and there are s lot of mistakes in the books. I was sending them pictures of all of it.

[Emma_Samchek]

Ohhh okay, thats good to know! Thank you so much!
