Day One: 🎄 Dream Gift Factory… worth the wait 🥰

:christmas_tree: Christmas Dream Gift Factory- Day One Update! :wrapped_gift:


Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little progress update on my ROKR Christmas Dream Gift Factory build. This set is tedious in the best possible way, it keeps you fully engaged, and the tiny details really make the bigger picture come alive and feel so vibrant.

I’ve definitely had a few mishaps along the way (turns out positioning certain parts exactly right matters… a lot :sweat_smile:). But honestly, it’s been a great lesson in patience. I tend to build non-stop once I sit down, so learning to slow down and enjoy the process has been really rewarding.

I’m currently on page 20/50, and the next timeI sit on it, I’m intentionally going to take it slower so I can appreciate every little detail of the journey.

not sure if the yellow box here is meant to go down at this stage when turned on…. I might need to wax it more, just gonna wait for the next pieces to come together!

Thanks so much to everyone here for the constant support and encouragement :heart_hands:t3: you all make the experience even more fun! :heart:

Sanding is just as important as waxing. It is a MUST! Hope you are being diligent with the sanding before waxing.

@Nita_Davis Ahahah I am very OCD with my build tbh, I sand every burr and bits that can come off, even paper I sand because I like em’ smooth! :relieved_face:

That’s great to hear. I am OCD about my painting as well. Raw edges bother me.

Did you also wax the entire right side of the yellow box? Just like the left side of the gray device? Make sure all the pieces are pressed in properly, and it should be fine. :wink: You’ve done well so far!

@jeanneL IM SO EXCITED FOR YOUUUUUU , its definitely challenging that most regular kits but the pay off is amazing. If the wax doesnt sit well (cold room etc..) use powder!

@Orangesareus
Powder as in? Like face powder? baby powder?
