Day 4: Walls, Assemble! And some ceiling issues
Dear Robotime: I love you…
But I completely and utterly hate your paper-made flower crafting with all my heart. 
Honestly, I do love their kits in general. Rowood, Rolife, Rokr, it doesn’t matter: the care you see into it, the attention to detail, the smoothness, the cleverness of the builds, everything is just so nice. So well thought. So well made.
And then we have the paper flowers. Where is this devil thing coming from? I thought I didn’t like plant-crafting while building the Bookstore Book Nook; the plants there are plastic bunchs you need to cut to a proper size and then twist and squeeze into the pot. Well, let me tell you something. Compared to this paper-made flowers, I have to LOVE the twist’n’squeeze plastic plants
I mean… I don’t want you to understand this as a hatred post. It is not! but I need to share my experience and feeling with honesty, don’t I? And while I’m loving the whole Cheers Bar & Dining building process… Well. Those flowers have taken the best of me lol. Just look at what you need to make them:
For each flower you basically take half of a stem (the thin cords with the yellow end that kind of look like cotton swabs), put two paper flower thingys of one color into the cord, press them to the pointy end, use your fingers to make some kind of a flower shape, and then you prevent the paper to move from there with a small cut of double-sided tape.
The theory is nice alright! In the practice it felt like a mess with the tiny coloured paper cuts, the tiny pieces of double-sided tape and my not-that-small fingers. It took me more than I’m proud to admit to find a half-decent way of doing this without the tape sticking everywhere except for where I wanted it to and after almost an hour of dealing with that problem, I managed to make my first tiny paper-made flowers of the devil:
I’ve gotta say, after a couple of them I kind of found my pace, but I still dislike this messy process a lot I couldn’t believe it when I was done with the 20 paper-made tiny flowers of the devil I was prompted to craft! Yay!
So… What next? Pots. You have the flowers, so now you make the pots. Easy peacy lemon squeezy? Not this time, my friend! The nightmare is not over yet
Because now… Now you have to take those round-ish green paper things, hold them with your tweezers, give them a proper-ish shape, add a small cut of double-sided tape to them and squeeze them into three different pots. Oh, and open the leaves so they’ll look like proper plants. Jeez!
To be fair this step was conveniently easier than the devil’s flower making, but still, tricky. I’m not 100% happy with the results, but hey, it does the trick!
Last but not least, two of those pots are supposed to be flowerpots, not just plantpots. Get it? So now, my friend, you’ll take a bunch of tiny paper flowers of the devil, you’ll stick them together with tape, and you’ll squeeze them into the paper plants you’ve squeezed into the pots. Yay!
Okay, this was the shortest step today, but it was also a bit tricky to say the least. To hold six flowers together and prevent them from jumping away while adding some tape to hold them together was a real challenge. I’m gonna give you guys a tip here. As you can see, according to the manual (I’ve circled both points of interest and then I’ve joined them with a line, see how pro I am? ), while crafting the flowers you’re supposed to cut them to a proper size, and later on, you’ll stick some flowers together with tape creating a bunch for your pot:
Well, don’t don’t cut them while crafting them. Wait for it, then make the flowerbunch, and THEN cut them. Why? Because you have no idea how hard it is to hold them together in order to stick them together, if you’ve cut them before that step 
Anyway, I guess the hardest part of this kit for me is finally over. Sticking the flowerbunches to the pots was not that smooth, but I don’t dislike the look of it.
And that’s it! I’m done for today. These kits usually relax me, I build them with all the love of my heart, but these flowers have taken the best out of me
There are many flowers that I’ve made that are still waiting, though. I guess they’ll go on the windows or something.
It’s okay. The Eloy you’re used to will be back with more tomorrow, and paper flowers won’t be included, so I’ll be happier than today
I just find this paper flower thing… I don’t know. Maybe too messy for my taste compared to what Robotime has me used to?
Anyway. See you/read your around!
If I see small plastic flowers in a shop, they’re coming home with me.
