This looks like such a nice kit and although I’m only really working through my first kit, it’s the painting and gluing and all the different craft elements that I really enjoy as opposed to the piece together type models

Those brushes totally look like makeup brushes! I’m terrible at painting with brushes, I can never get the paint even. This would be so hard for me! Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

I get why you prefer paint over markers; I think the finish is much better.
Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I much prefer painting too, even though it definitely takes longer. There’s just something so satisfying about seeing all those little details come together with paint. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: You can join me and @Vangie hunting for discontinued kits :joy: They Are the best :heart:

Yes, it’s much to do here. Before I opened the kit, I actually thought it came with clay that you had to use to make the fruit. But I’m realizing now that I must have seen someone else customize the set using clay lol :joy:

I love Carl’s Fruit Shop. I thought all the fruit and veggies would be boring to do, but it wasn’t.

Here is mine:

I just bought some paint brushes for this hobby, I hope they get here soon!

You are lovely. I don’t know who has left, maybe I missed the posts? But I hope they rest well and come back :folded_hands:

I’m curious to see how Carl’s Fruit Shop comes together, especially with all those little details. Enjoy!

I completely understand! :heart: I actually prefer the painting, gluing and all the little craft elements too. There’s just something so satisfying about building everything from scratch instead of just putting the pieces together.

Yes, they look like make up brushes. When you got some great brushes, some good paint it all makes it so much easier :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Haha, I can definitely understand that! :joy: I’ve also had to take a few breaks here and there, especially when it’s been really hot. A proper break in November sounds lovely though — just relaxing and spending some quality time with your daughter. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart: Enjoy it! :heart_eyes:

I completely agree! I just love the finish you get with paint, it takes so long time to cover big areas with markers. Thank you sweetest :heart:

Uuuh, looking forward to see them. Hope the quality is good! I’ve had my ups and downs with bad brushes :smiling_face_with_tear::rofl: Thank you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Someone who took a break is back again, and there is someone in here I just hope read that I miss them :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
