Man! I couldn’t wait to post this one. It may look like a small step from the last one, but… It’s pretty tricky to fit all those tiny little fragile parts together and through the holes in the base part prepared for it! I was expecting it to be a short process but it took me almost an hour, mainly because my fingers are not exactly thin.
I also have no idea if I’m bringing the ship parts correctly in the titles lol. But Google is my teacher, so you can give them your complaints
I don’t really have a lot to say here, but I was almost sweating (and believe, it’s preeeetty cold right now). The crafting of this first deck (which I called “lower deck” because I’ve seen through the instructions and the promotional pictures on the box that there are higher ones) is tricky, but the trickiness of it is mainly coming from the tiny little fragile parts. Some of them can break by looking at them! So be aware on which point are you pressuring and try not to do it right over where the windows are. Guess who was blind enough to do precisely that? You may notice I’ve already torn apart the small section of wall above one of the two tiny… What are those, portholes? I guess so, even if one of them has already hit the iceberg I believe that specific part is gonna be partially hidden, but I’ll think of how to fix it or patch it anyway since it’s kind of bugging me. Ideas from anyone are appreciated!
The thing is that I’ve seen there are many other deck areas I’ll have to build in a similar way, and it’s getting tricky with these fingers, I’m slightly worried about that. Maybe that’s a sign? Is it time for me to get some of those modeling tweezers?
Oh, and now that I look at the pictures… Sanding is coming!
Please stop staring at them they’re shy and will run away. In all honesty I think you’re doing a marvellous job with all the itty bitty parts. And yes, I think it’s time you get a tweezer and join us! Also couldn’t really tell what you broke so it’s not that obvious!
That I’ve checked! And everything seems properly align, so I’m not sure where the issue may be. Either way I’m not 100% worried, I’m confident it won’t affect further building.
Ow man that sucks. Maybe see itlf you havea leftover part with the wite of it thst you can glue into the breach and maybe some white paint to cover it.
So glad it worked out in the end! Those tiny wrapped goods look adorable, and that little book is just precious. Amazing progress, even after such a long day!
I prefer needle nose pliers over tweezers anyway. Most everything I try to grab with tweezers pops out and flies across the room…never to be seen again…LOL! Have fun sanding.
Today I had to get on the ground and find a tulip that flew. I also found a few beads, the tulip, and some wire (thank you tweezers!) I have both nearby because yes, they do fly.
You’ve done well so far. The small parts do seem tricky to assemble, but even with your big fingers, you managed it . I can’t see any broken parts, so you’ve done well! It’s nice to see the ship taking shape more and more. I’m really looking forward to your next update.
