📖 [Rolife Journey] My cherry blossom journey update #1

My first piece from the Sakura series is this cherry blossom treehouse. I’ve been working on it for a few days and I’m only about ten pages in — turns out there are almost fifty in total. But I’m not rushing it. I’m really enjoying every single piece.

So far I’ve built some of the flowers, the tree itself, and the base. The colors and the tiny details are honestly so beautiful. The only thing I’d complain about is that it doesn’t come with lights, so I’ll probably figure out a way to add some later.

I also spent extra time painting parts of it. I didn’t paint everything because I want to keep that natural wood feel — it is a wooden treehouse after all — but I touched up a few areas.

One of the parts that made me unexpectedly excited was building a tiny little telescope. I can place it outside the house for stargazing, or keep it inside — that small detail just makes the whole scene feel alive.

And thank you to everyone who gave me tips — I was right not to use the double-sided tape for the cherry blossoms. Glue definitely holds everything much more securely. And I got lots hahaha I am ready for my next projects

It already looks amazing, and it even matches my little Keung To figure perfectly.

I found it works very well, did not try T7000 but there was post discussed about the difference between them.

Let me try to find it and get back to u . :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s a cute little Keung To. Also, you have a lot of T8000, if you haven’t use it for a month for example, does it dry inside?

Hahaha it’s actually a bulk buy! After I brought my friends to the workshop, some of them got super into miniatures, so this T8000 is for the whole group. We basically started a tiny crafting club :joy:

And yesss, little Keung To is sooo cute and fits the house perfectly. I’m so happy with how it turned out — he really makes the whole vibe feel more cheerful :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

As for the glue, it should be fine as long as I close it tightly and clean the nozzle. It doesn’t dry that easily if you seal it properly!

I built the tree house about a month ago. It wasn’t an easy build… definitely had to take time on it and make sure not to skip any steps. I glued a handful of connections as I went along to…. Then a lot when I was done. I really like your idea of painting some of the edges. I think I’ll go back and do that!

Yeah it is quite a project, I did not notice it is over 500 pieces lol

But the instruction is very detail oriented, that helps a lot.

I saw someone painted the edge and looks good, inspired me. Glad that inspired you too :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh, the Cherry Blossom Tree House is such a gorgeous kit! The mini figs in your photos are such a fun touch — they really bring the scale to life. Since it doesn’t have built-in lighting, a lighted display box would make this one look absolutely stunning!

Thank you. That’s my worry if I will buy a lot of glue. Thank you for answering

I know ehh, I opened the box and found the thick instruction book was 50 pages :anxious_face_with_sweat:

I am 60% done now, it is worth the effort, this kit is beautiful :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And my eyes always lay on the kits that can fit my Keung To :laughing:

That’s just crazy! The gear Ball Challenge I am working on only has like 50 and there are 4 pages of instructions on how to “play” it.
