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*

Finally….. Our Mad Season 1 is ready and up!!!
In this season, we will have 3 different series each week for our viewers, spanning over a period of 8 weeks.
I shan’t reveal the other 2 series as of yet, so do check back here for new updates!! =D

So…. The 1st series will be the Building Series, namely building up different types of items as we go along.
Very hands-on and DIY!

For our 1st episode, Ving will be fixing up this wooden shelf which was bought from a supermarket for only $8.90 after discount!!
So affordable!!
Here are the wooden planks and screws provided in the flat box which they came in.
(Tool box and screwdriver not included.)
After fixing up the dividers of the shelf….
Then adding in the backings for the shelf….
Last step was to screw on the last long wooden plank for the side of the shelf…
And viola!!!
You get a rather solid and stable wooden shelf for you house!
The whole process took only 20-odd minutes for me to complete fixing it up!
SUCCESS!!!
The result of all the screwing (*ahem* pun not intended)……….
If you do not fancy this beech wood kind of color, you can actually get some paint and color it the way you like it to be!
(Which we might actually do it for another episode of our Mad Season series hahaha… *winks*)
Start building up something today!! ^_^
