[DIY & Creativity] Updates and edges

Who can spot what I did to make this a little different?



In the long run, I have no idea how much will even be seen but I am driven to paint edges.
i am just finishing the Carousel and wanted to post an update. With painting and all, this took up most of my morning.
I had a moment of panic while pressing in the pieces below. The top popped off and I thought I would have to disassemble to fix!

All is well! and I tested lights and they flashed and they lit!

Trust me I had a few more moments. I worked for about an hour this afternoon. When I went to put into wall, it did not fit well. Especially apparent when I hung the flag. And iN trying to fix, came out and came apart. I had to slightly disassemble but was able to fix and continue on. Uggggg

I had the exact same problems! Including having to constantly hold the top of the carousel down because the blue and gold pieces kept Coming out of the Holes :sweat_smile:

I knew you would know! I had to do this and the horse and the edges throughout

Thank you! I think it helps to make more 3D.

It is. I always like to paint the edges. It will look a lot nicer.

Yeah that is a very tight fit and a pain to do.

Thanks Jerry! I am making progress. After rebuilding the darn thing, it fit a little better.

Fantastic!! You’ve added depth and detail to this.
I’m still thinking of plans for this kit. I’m not a fan of the USB C cables, so I may put my own lighting in.

The carousel looks beautiful @jeanneL painting the edges definitely takes longer but I think it’s worth it :blush:
