📖 [Rolife Journey] Update 7 Classic Carousel

I’ve lost track of how long I’ve been working on this build. It seems endless, and I keep hoping I’ll make more progress. The last few parts are very time-consuming to paint because of the details and all the nooks and crannies. It takes me about an hour to paint one of these pieces, and I had to paint 10. Now I have three more to go, so the end is in sight.

I’m alternating between painting the railing to keep things interesting. Hopefully, I can finally finish this build in a week. I’ll be happy to build something different after days of painting the same thing.

Thank you @Alicesharpe :hugs: I don’t even remember how long I’ve been working on this kit :sweat_smile:, but I think I’ve been working on these pieces for the past two weeks. I don’t have much time in a day to build, and I’ve also been busy preparing for the meetup these past few weeks.

Thank you @Sasa :hugs: It does indeed light up and rotate. The horses also go up and down just like on a real merry-go-round.

Wow! I can see your attention to detail in the painting where you are carrying the design through all the way. I love it!
This is turning out amazing Liset.

Thank you @Nita_Davis :hugs: I think I’m a bit of a perfectionist haha. I can’t stand it when the ends of the joints are clearly visible.

Thank you @Suzanne_Jones :hugs: I think I’ll be happy with the outcome eventually but for now it’s frustrating that there’s no end to painting the same parts over and over again

I never had this kit on my wish list but after seeing your pics I’m starting to think I might like to build it. What a great job.

Thank you @Anje_Leonoza_Mira :hugs: the colors of a merry-go-round here in a Dutch amusement park called Efteling gave me inspiration for these colors :wink:

Dank je wel @Minus_88 :hugs: eerst moet ik nog de motivatie vinden om de laatste stukken te schilderen :sweat_smile:

Thank you so much @Tkaplan This structure is a lot harder to paint because it’s already pre-painted, meaning there are no seams in the wood, so you have to paint very precisely.
