This one ticks every box for me. Lights music motion and color It’s the kind of kit that pulled me into this hobby with my first carousel, and the kind that keeps me coming back to ROKR.
Life got in the way a couple of times, so this took what felt like forever but it’s finally done! Six separate parts in motion, all performing flawlessly. The lighting is beautifully thought out and channeled so it needed no glue or tape, and the wires ended up exactly where they should.
I customized it a little just to make it mine, though it needed very little. Moved the elf girl to the front and added a small dog because doggos make everything better. Added a burlap sack at the side door and swapped some oversized coins coming out the other window for little donuts
And then there were the edges Nearly six hundred pieces makes for a LOT of edge work, and it gave my rather limited color perception a real workout. Hopefully I haven’t done anything that looks odd to those of you with normie color vision! It took a small army of markers and paints to get there, including some brass-colored model boat paint for the grinder handle.
Wow, you did an incredible job on this! The paintwork looks amazing, and that little dog by the counter is just too cute! You can really tell how much care you put into every little detail.
Wow, this sounds like such a satisfying build! I love all the little personal touches, especially the dog because you’re absolutely right, doggos make everything better! Six moving parts, lights, music, and nearly 600 pieces is quite an accomplishment, and I’m glad it gave you plenty of stress relief along the way!
