Sam's Study by masa - FINISHED - Robotime - Scale Approx. 1/12


Recommended Posts

That article made me to buy this kit. I made my kit for the past week to get a rest. I spent approx. 12 hours.

Overall, this is a very good kit unlike most of china cheap goods. I would say that this company has very talented people like the Trumpet or Meng. Unfortunately, the LED parts is gone while I was finishing assembly. The reason of LED fail was an insufficient assembly guidance and inaccurate manual like most wooden model ship kit does. :) That's an only issue of this kit. Almost perfect!

 

Now it's a time to go back to the priority project...

The LED assembly part is not polished and easily breakable. Someone who uploaded walkthrough movie on the Youtube skipped or modified the LED part to less complex structure such as 1 LED lamp instead of 4 LED lamps. The other parts are super easy and flawless like the Bandai's Gundam models.

 

I would say that the LED light should have made the kit 100 times better!

I wonder if the dollhouse scale is the same for these models.  at the Hobby Lobby I go to,  they have a section for dollhouses...quite a bit of stuff  ;)   there are different types.....I'd check it out to see if you could substitute it.   they even have wiring.  I'm sure there are shops like H.L. where you live  ;)

Nice comfortable study. I wish I had that much  space to have my books out. It is missing a ship on the wall somewhere though.:(

Popeye the sailor // I would say that the Robotime chose level of completion instead of same scale and unity. Their series of doll house have different scales, but the each model's design sense is very attractive. It is bad that I can't make one big doll house by putting together them, but great for sole present. :) The reason I don't want to touch a structure thing is that one of my close relative is a famous retired architecture professor. If I make a building model, his pupils will laugh at low level of reality. It feels like checking with a retired ship carpenter about my model ship. Fortunately, he really loves my wooden model ship. :D 

 

Lou // I've already replaced most of my book to digital scanned books for same reason. :) I want more docks to build another ship.

I still have boxes and more boxes filled with books, fiction and non-fiction! But like you, these days I mostly go digital when looking at anything new to read. I also recently acquired possibly about 100 books in audible. About half of them are on cassette so I will have to buy a player but I am told it is an interesting way to "Read" books.

I was at the local Hobby Lobby one day,  and I got a chance to speak to a person that does that very thing.   she takes a room and outfits it in interesting ways.  as she said,  her 'houses are larger than a regular doll house........no wonder why  ;)    I wanted to build a dollhouse for my granddaughter.......the admiral told me that she was too much of a tom-boy.  recently, I got to see here and I brought it up........should have seen her eyes light up!  so.......who knows,  it might be on the table again  ;) 

 

it can be tough when you have a critic in the family :)

Very nicely done. The Robotime dioramas are all crowded and stuffed with things. But I guess that is what gives them the spirit.
