Starting the space shuttle

OMG what a build this will be.

I opend the box and the amount of part and techical parts had me intimidated. I opened the books and it start with checking the engine and lights to see it the circuit works. I looked at it and thought how am ik gonna do this. I’m no electrician. But i got all the parts out and rokr has a qr code in the book with a link to a movie thats shows you how to do it and it was really fund and easy to do. Just look at how thick the bords are. I have build technical builds before but not with these thick cardboard parts only reall wood. It gets out easie and connect perfectly. Becaus of the cardboard probably soaking op a lot of paint and a financial setback at the moment made me decide not to paint this one as it is huge. I will try painting in the future on the smalle4 car model. If you like a challenge and great kits. You need to get this one. Rokr you are net level with making these kits.

Enjoy your build. I understand you’re not going to paint this structure. I think it’s also very wise to start with a smaller structure if you want to paint it. I’m very curious about the result.

Good luck! This looks really technical! I look forward to seeing how it goes :star_struck:

For now the parts lock and slide in very easy. Only had trouble putting one of the tiny screws in the plastic wheel that goes om the rail later.

Wow! It sounds like a big challenge but I’m sure you’ll pass it trough :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::sparkles::raising_hands: Hoping to see your progress ~ I’m also intimidated when I see complex electrical instructions :see_no_evil_monkey: I hope, one day, I’ll be able to customize the lights and things like the as someones in this community

Luckily these one has lights in different colours for the start procedure and there iss a YouTube video that shows step by step what to do and that made it real easy to do

That looks so cool! It can feel overwhelming at first, but you’re doing great, and honestly, the natural finish looks amazing too. Can’t wait to see your car model when you try painting it!

I am fine ow and i loved the start of it. Hope to find time this weekend to proceed. The quality is amazing. So happy you send me this. Next one will be the dream factory. Im hooked on technical models i think
