📖 [Rolife Journey] Vienna Bookstore update 1

I admit I like the Bookstore a little more than coffee cart but both are so cute. This one starts out with building all the little things, which I love the most. Reminds me a bit of that Post Office kit.!


The brown rectangle with ridges will end up as a roof.. This one does not really tell you how to place the row of shingles, tou just have to measure out. The last thin board C5, I put down before last row so I could make sure it was lined up well! My flat base was a bit warped so I used my clips to hold shingles down until glue dried.


All is going well so far. Just one more piece of confusion. I am unsure what they want me to do with those little grey clamps. It looks like they just drop them in the bottom. Yet there are tiny holes on backside. Next pictures do not show them in the holes. So I have set them aside for now. @Robotime any clue?

Looks good so far! Why are you liking the other kit more than this one? I’m curious if it’s just because of all the little crafting like you’ve mentioned or if there are more reasons there.

Nice crafting so far, I’m liking the shape those tiny things are taking in your hands!

About the two grey thingies, not sure what to tell you, but looks like the manual is asking you to fit them inside? Maybe you could take a look forward through the pages to make sure what that’s for or how that will end up looking like.

I actually did look ahead. No clue. I am thinking it may help to hang on window? no clue

Those clips are amazing for many things. I love the looks of that roof. I agree with Eloy that it appears that those clips go INSIDE the box…(probably to prop up flowers, rather than have them fall to the bottom).

I agree with you on them going inside the box.

I Thi k that they are meant to go inside. Without looking ahead, I would assume that they may prop something up?
Looking at the little bits you’ve created already, I can see why it’s giving you post office vibes.

Sounds about right! I like that one too from the outside!

I don’t know, maybe? But as @Nita_Davis agreed, the arrows there kind of make me think they’ll go inside. Do you think they would fit, in matter of actual size?

No, just on the back. Looks like they would go there but looking at pictures, nothing shows them there.

Just does not make sense. They look like clamps to hang on to something

It is looking great so far. I do prefer kits that got more details as well.

I’m totally side tracked but today I learned something new from your post. :laughing: I had to look up what roof shingles were. When I see the word shingles I only think of the rashes. :sob:

Hmm I’m with you. I would imagine the clamps go inside the holes so you can hang them somewhere but the instruction is a little confusing. I guess just keep building and we will see what happens. :pink_heart:

They are propping up the moss or whatever that lays on top. That is my assumption.
