👍 [Good Question] Melody Christmas Tree completed in 2 days 😯

Believe it or not, my husband completed the Melody Christmas Tree in just two days! And he’s so proud hahaha he wants more challenging builds next time- he says.

He kept complaining about the paper boxes though because they just won’t stick with the double sided stickers unless you put pressure on them but when you do they get squished. He then figured out to open the boxes and press it in from the inside to make them stick then close the box.

When we tested it with the Santa , the whole tree was shaking. So I waxed the top of the tree where Santa spins and the shaking went away a bit.

Any suggestions? Is this how it should look? Or should there be a gap between the tree and the plastic support of Santa?

Thanks @Nita_Davis

Quick question - did you glue the Christmas balls? I just noticed some have already fallen from the tree.

Good for me to know. Mine is arriving Friday!

You can still do it for this Christmas :grin: you still have 14 days to go hehehe

Oh, I know that. But it’s still not a lot :rofl: between work and couple quality time and family and friends and moving and Christmas and stuff I don’t have a lot of time to build, maybe an hour a day or so. And I’m already commited with four builds :rofl:

  • The Titanic I’m working on (which I’ll update you guys about in a couple of hours or so)
  • The 3D Airplane I’ve received for the October Mistery Prize
  • The Santa on Sleigh (don’t worry @JDisaduck, I may be late to the party but I won’t forget to print those eyes for when I build it next week :rofl: )
  • My first ever book nook “Bookstore” that I’m supposed to give my brother as a Christmas gift

So… Yeah, I may not risk it for another Christmas kit this year :rofl:

It all started on this fine sunny day when @Wenbare posted about her Santa pendulum build saying his face was really funny when you look at it from front.

So I asked for a mugshot. And she kindly took one for me.

Omg writing this made me realise I’m so unhinged hahaha help but I ended up giving Santa some eyes.

So @TheToday will now give his Santa some eyes and report back.

@Jill_Francisco please don’t judge me too hard. Sometimes I cannot be allowed my phone. :laughing:
