Well, hello there! ![]()
So… Yeah, I’ve bought a Star Wars kit. And yeah, my Cuckoo Clock kit is FINALLY HOME after almost a month waiting for it. I still can’t believe it!
Anyway! The thing is… I’m hosting my first ever Robotime Club Meet Up Event in a month (ish). It’s gonna be themed around flowers, because you know, spring, colours, smells, happyness, love, blablabla. Since I’ve been knowing for a few days now the variety of kits the people coming will have to build, why not buy one of each and build them myself first? I mean, it would be mean of me to help people build a kit I haven’t previously built myself, right? RIGHT?
Since I’ve already built the Water Lilly Wall Art for my mum a few months back, I though of buying and building the other one, the Golden Sunflower wall art. I may be ordering and building this month all the remaining kits I’ll be offering in the event thanks to @Robotime; that way I’ll be able to know first hand about the building process, which steps can be more challenging, how long-ish can each kit take, etc. I just don’t wanna be there checking manuals with my eyebrow rised all the way just because I have no idea which problem or step people is talking about, you know? That would be a bit embarrassing ![]()
So! When you open the Golden Sunflower box this is what you’ll find inside:
And the first thing you’ve gotta do is… Flower crafting, yay! ![]()
Well, lucky me, this time is not at all about paper flowers of the devil. I can handle wooden flowers, can’t I? Yeeess. Good Eloy. ![]()
First the simplest ones, the not-yet-bloomed sunflowers:
And then… Well, the rest of them
the process of the sunflowers-crafting is pretty easy and straightforward; my only small complaint, just for the sake of complaining about something, is how tedious/repetitive the petal-making is
but if I’ve survived it, you’ll survive it. We’re in this together.
Phew! Finally, no more petals to deal with. Next! Next is basically starting to put things together (honestly, the petal-crafting and sunflower-making was the longest part of the build for me). This means assembling the lowest part of the frame with the first details fit into it. It’s an easy progress overall, and it looks cute enough once accomplished.
Then… Well. Wait for it. Breath, Eloy. Breeeeeath. Yeah, my friends. Paper flowers are my greatest enemy, but there’s something close enough…
Ah, the rolling-papers of the devil.

I’ve dealt with those in the Dream Gift Factory and the Camomile flowers, and I don’t. I just don’t. The roll the paper around the wooden part and fit that hole into this part so it won’t move away anymore mumbo jumbo is superior to me ![]()
I don’t know why, but it always seems like the paper is not long enough. I just have to push it and pull it and stretch it to reach the place where it has to fit to stay still, and I’m affraid to break the paper all the way in that process.
Anyway! I was sweating but the paper was rolling. I guess I won then, right? Yay!
I just hope nobody in the event will ask me to help them roll this lol ![]()
Anyway! We have a pot for our sunflowers now.
What now? Now we add the pot to the frame and the frame to the base. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
From here is mostly easy, fast and straightforward to be honest.
Funny enough, I though I only had one and not two little papers of that black tape, so I though I had to cleverly distribute it through the white paper-string of lights because I didn’t have enough to place all the tape cuts the manual was asking me to.
Why am I so blind sometimes, God? Tell me.
Anyway, by the time I found the second paper of black tape it was too late, but I managed properly, so let’s move on! We’re almost done, apparently. This is how things were looking after the paper of lights and the coverage for it:
Only a few steps to go! After this it’s all about adding the sunflowers to the ecuation. I was supposed to show you straight how that look, but I had to add first the baby not-bloomed sunflowers, and… Man, I swear I was laughing for about ten minutes. Please, tell me. Tell me it doesn’t look like some kind of alien, the pot being the nose and mouth and chin, the sunflowers being the eyes, the green stems being the hair or something ![]()
I know, I’m crazy, but I have my fun with it ![]()
Anyway…

This is how the whole pack with the Sunflowers look like! Awesome, right?
I know it does. (Eloy, please, step down from your ego for a bit)
So that’s it! Well, almost. We’re a tiny cart and a small frame away from the ending.
And this is it, folks! This is how the Golden Sunflower Wall Art should look. No matter if you wanna use it as wall art or not. I don’t. It looks amazing just on the table, what can I say?
Cheers, my dears! Thanks for reading the crazyness of this Spanish folk.
See you/read you around!
