👍 [ROKR DIY & Creativity] Retro box rebuild

Oh my goodness! I built and painted the space shuttle in about 8 days. This is day number 9 on what I thought would be a simple dressing box. I am now doing a major reconstructive surgery because one of my lower boxes was installed in the wrong direction possibly even on the wrong side. I am so confused right now and thoroughly mad at myself. I am almost to the point of taking a hammer to this thing but I just can’t do it. I have dealt with 2 mm nail brands and about the same size screws not to mention all of the tiny Springs that had to be attached to the drawers that open up. Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning so to speak. In all reality, it actually is pretty much starting over on the lower section. :melting_face:

You painted well. don’t rush

That will be okay. And so glad that you’ll able to notice the wrong part.

Don’t be pressure. Some things take times to build and so you can breathe and relax. I know you can do it. Take a pause if you need to. :blush:

Thanks so much @Atropex . I am NOT giving up on this one. Very frustrating though.

Oh, that’s really a bummer! Hopefully, you can get to it fairly easily without taking too much apart. I think your paint job is fantastic! I wasn’t thinking of painting this build because it was already beautiful on its own, but now that I see yours, I see it can be even more beautiful :star_struck:

Ahhh nooo it’s definitely frustrating and a kick myself hard moment but you know you’ll get there. You’ve already painted it nicely.

Maybe you could take a break and work on something else for a fresher perspective? :blush:

Oh that’s so frustrating @Nita_Davis, I hope you can fix it. The painting is beautiful, it will look stunning when it’s done :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh no! Thats so frustrating for you having to pull apart your build to fix it.
I hope you have a better day of it tomorrow.

haha, fight for it :flexed_biceps: you can do it :laughing:

Great job @Nita_Davis :clap:t2:

Sounds frustrating Hope you manage to Finish it X

Keep kalm and walk away. We have all been there. Take a deep breahabd come back later. You can do this.

Very frustrating! I am hoping you can get this figured out!

Definitely…It is one of those little scissor -lift looking things that push the drawers up and open. I might not even look at that thing today…LOL!

I found out while trying to get the doors pressed down and they just would not fit. After careful observation, I noticed a slight difference from the left side compared to the right side…LOTS of unbuilding to try to get this fixed now. @Anje_Leonoza_Mira
