The Starry Night Orrery was a very different experience for me compared to the London Tour Bus. While the finished model is beautiful, I personally found the building process more challenging than enjoyable.

Some of the pieces didn’t fit together as smoothly as I expected, and there were moments where assembling certain parts felt hard on my fingers. I had to be extra careful to avoid breaking delicate pieces, which made the process more stressful for me than relaxing.

That said, I can still appreciate the design and creativity behind this kit — it just helped me learn what type of building experience I personally enjoy more.

Here’s a video of the music box working.
