BONJOUR!!!
Welcome to the 8th, as well as last episode of the Building Series in Mad Season 1!!! *SOBX*

To end this series with a bang, Ving gonna build a big model structure and bring France to you!!!
Yesss the Eiffel Tower….!!!
This is actually easier to fix up as compared to the Crystal Skull 3D Puzzle which I attempted in the previous episode.
Basically, you just need to follow the instructions (or rather, matching numbers) provided in a booklet which comes with the pack.
Punch out the pieces and start fixing them together!
Base of the tower…
Middle part of the tower!
Now the top part of the tower!!!
T A D A H H H ! ! ! ! !
Some Bearbrick guys are excited to climb onto the Eiffel Tower!!!
I’m loving the presence of it in my room!!!
It’s a rather tall model, so you’ll require some space for it if for display purpose.

With this, Ving hereby concludes the end of Building Series in Mad Season 1!!!
A million thanks to everyone who had supported this series!!!
Hope you’d enjoyed all the episodes as much as I had while coming up with the posts!!!

Do stay tuned to the last episode of the Beauty Series which will be out on Wednesday!!!
Thank you!!!! *hugs Eiffel Tower*

ELLO!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back, and to Episode 2 of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed the previous episodes of our series so far!!!

For today!!!
Ving attempted to build up this Wooden Watermill from its kit!
I like this type of hands-on toys actually, that requires you to use your brain and common sense while fixing it up.
It was rather popular when I was young (oops did I just revealed my age??) before all the electronic products/toys took over, and cost bit more as compared to present times.
I bought the colored ice cream sticks as well coz I thought of building up a fence around this Watermill for an additional effect.
It reminded me of the times when my Art teacher will tell us to make artworks using ice cream sticks, and have them painted as last time we just used the normal brown colored ones.
Ahhh…. Nostalgia….

Here are the pieces as well as instructions (or the lack there of) for fixing up the Watermill.

While I was building it up along the way, frustration soon set in.
I came to realise that the pieces weren’t cut up according to accurate measurements, so there was actually some difficulty trying to fit them all together properly without the whole thing falling apart.
It did fall apart quite a number of times, after which I had to try and secure them again and again.
So if you wanna buy the exact same piece to build up at home, you might wanna prepare some glue to secure the parts together (although you aren’t supposed to or required to use glue for such models).

Anyways!!
After all the extra unnecessary hassle, I managed to fix it up rather decently.
Ended up I didn’t do up the colorful fence to surround the Watermill, coz this already made me spend quite abit of time.
Will keep the ice cream sticks for next round!!

Verdict:
It’s still a fun process fixing such models up, though there were hiccups along the way.
I’ll still buy other designs to build if I’ve more space in my room haha…..
I might even consider painting them too! For a more personal touch to the final product.

Do stay tuned for our 2nd Episode of our Beauty Series on this Wednesday!!
Kindly support us!!! Thankssssss!!!!!!!! *throws confetti*
