\n\"\"<\/a> ELLO!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Welcome back, and to Episode 2 of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
\nHope you’ve enjoyed the previous episodes of our series so far!!!<\/p>\n

For today!!!
\nVing attempted to build up this Wooden Watermill from its kit!
\nI like this type of hands-on toys actually, that requires you to use your brain and common sense while fixing it up.
\nIt 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.
\n\"\"<\/a>I bought the colored ice cream sticks as well coz I thought of building up a fence around this Watermill for an additional effect.
\nIt 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.
\nAhhh…. Nostalgia….<\/p>\n

Here are the pieces as well as instructions (or the lack there of) for fixing up the Watermill.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I was building it up along the way, frustration soon set in.
\nI 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.
\nIt did fall apart quite a number of times, after which I had to try and secure them again and again.
\nSo 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).
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyways!!
\nAfter all the extra unnecessary hassle, I managed to fix it up rather decently.
\nEnded up I didn’t do up the colorful fence to surround the Watermill, coz this already made me spend quite abit of time.
\nWill keep the ice cream sticks for next round!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Do stay tuned for our 2nd Episode of our Beauty Series on this Wednesday!!
