Some people unwind by watching TV. I unwind by building and crafting. It’s therapeutic for me.
I love creating something. The harder the challenge, the better. At the moment, I’m taking on a vintage museum collection: The Last Supper puzzle. Its faded colours make every piece feel like a mystery, and even after all this time, it’s still unfinished. That’s exactly why I can’t let it go.
You did an amazing job on the coffee factory and I’m so happy that you were able to get it. I’m sure you must be pleased with the outcome. I can certainly tell from the excitement in your post @Bfred
While it might not be so big and extravagant as the costumized Sakura treehouse I saw (that was absolutely GORGEOUS) my experience was when I was at some of the final steps of the Alice in wonderland book nook. I had to kinda like put the box that surrounds it together if you know what I mean and I think it took my a good half hour just to do that one step but then the kit was complet after 2 weeks worth of working on it (I still go to school so I don’t have much free time) and it just felt amazing getting to turn on the light for the first time and go show my very impressed mom.
My build that I’m proud of is the Lego Galaxy set that’s been my favorite from them. I also added lights to make it seem more alive, which I messed up a few times but I eventually figured it out. It took me about 2 days to put all the tiny little pieces in the right spot, but I had so much fun!!
@Jishi welcome to the Robotime Community! Taking on a challenging Last Supper puzzle while Sakura Tree waits nearby sounds like true builder determination. Sometimes the unfinished projects are the ones that keep calling us back.
@Nicki welcome to the Robotime Community! Building the AK47 and cuckoo clock with your daughters at a cabin sounds like a memory with real warmth in it. Those shared build days can stay with a family for a long time.
