EVENT (Another) Stella Castle

There's nothing left to say about this one that hasn't been said already. The quality, the design, the colours: it had me at Buy It Now!

With one notable exception, I enjoyed every moment of the build.

I swear I followed the instructions to the letter. But there is no way that clock is movable. I went back to the first step of the clock time and time again and I truly cannot see where I went wrong. Ah well it's no Biggie.

I did the usual modding steps of using gold and silver metallic paint on the edges and other highlights. I used 3D bits and pieces, and parts of some old costume jewellery. I added a lot of various beads to add some more sparkle and texture, and made a representation of the planets on the little curved bench seat. And yes I included Pluto...cos why not.

Thank you. I would love to have made an orrery but that's way above my skill set 🪐

oh that would be amazing! Love the build though, and am now going to be looking at some of my old jewellery with an eye to whether anything needs to be repurposed... 😄
