📖 [ROKR Journey] Back on the Gear Ball Challenge

[Jill_Francisco]

My son has been insisting that I work on his Gear Ball Challenge so here I am working on some more painting.

I have finished painting and installing the finish line flag. This is tiny so I opted to use markers

Then I started painting on the back details of the back. Since I don’t have a thin brush, I once again opted to use markers for tiny details. Painting made me realize that I don’t have steady hands at all. And whatever I do, it’s just a mess. * Sigh *

Once paint are all dried up, I then installed them to their places.

I’m not that happy with my sloppy paint job but it will do for now.

Looking good to me, not sloppy at all

[Anje_Leonoza_Mira]

It’s looking good though.

What do you mean Jill it looks so good! Akil will be super proud of you, he’s picked the best colours. The perfectionist in me knows what you mean but I’m here to remind you that it looks awesome!

I don’t think it’s sloppy, it looks good and colourful, I’m sure he’ll love it

[Nita_Davis]

It looks amazing! Our color schemes are somewhat similar. When I look at it, I think of Superman. I think by the end of the day, I should be a little more than halfway done.

I think it looks great. My hand is not that steady either so I understand. Your son isn’t going to care about how the marble run is painted, but by how much fun he can have with it. You’re a great mum!

It still looks great. You’re doing a really awesome job and you have a lot of patience since the gear ball is a big kit.

I think you did well with your painting job. The colours are looking great.

Looking great. Your child painted them so well. He must have had so much fun doing it.

I think you did a great job. The colors look great together, and you managed to paint the small details. In my experience, it’s harder to paint the small details with markers, but you did a really good job!

All of this was painted with markers?? that’s actually impressive I might actually get them too since I’m not really good with brush either

I think it looks great @Jill_Francisco and your son will be so happy with it. In future if you are not steady you could always try painters tape to help for straight lines. But sometimes things being not perfect gives it character.

How are you finding the markers Jill? You have got me intrigued to buy some The only thing I worry about is not being able to replace certain colours when they run out.

[Jill_Francisco]

Thank you for your kind words

[Jill_Francisco]

These are the markers I’m using on this.

I love using it because of its soft brush tip and it’s color turn out is so good - I just need one swipe. But I’m afraid if I run out of color I will need to buy the whole set again

[Jo_Zanella]

That’s what I was worried about too @Jill_Francisco, but they look soooo pretty!

[Emma_Samchek]

I love how its coming out! You did great on the painting!

[Carmie]

I’m sure your son really appreciates your hard work and effort…

[Wenbare]

I actually love that you’re adding paint details to it, it gives it so much more personality, Jill!

And honestly? We are always our own worst critics. From the photos it looks great, especially considering how tiny those pieces are. Using markers for the small details was such a smart move!

Your son insisting you continue is the cutest motivation ever! Keep going, it’s coming together beautifully!
