Review Future future attempt
Not my best work… And I forgot to connect like half of the lights or something 🤡 (they definitely function, I tested them). My husband’s going to try and fix it and solder the wires together because even the working ones flicker weakly. Not sure if it’ll succeed, but I’m considering this one done for now. Some parts I really enjoyed - I like 3D kits more for sure! - but certain parts I was like you want me to do WHAT?! First time using the pen knife that much. I obtained a Xyron at the very very end of this build and that thing is magic, it’ll definitely make future builds easier! But it was a FEAT not to make this thing just look like one giant glue smudge. I have two other kits from this series and I’m letting myself do some easier ones before I touch those, lol. I’m glad I at least finished it!

It looks good. Nice work! A missing or flickering light is appropriate for a noir cyberpunk setting. 😎 but I'd want a scene that was close to what was intended, too.
What are the other kits you picked up? I have Sea Breeze, and Underwater World and Merry Christmas are on the way.

Thank you 😅 I have Sea Breeze and Chinese Food Street in my backlog and they’re looking very intimidating atm haha.

The Food Street looks especially hard. I know there's only so much room to put things with a book nook, but they went the extra mile with that one. 😬

Yeahhhh it’s adorable but at what cost… I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I realized it was in this series.

Sea breeze almost broke me. I’d love to build it again to see if it would go smoother. Merry Christmas is ADORABLE!
I did go and buy some of my own pipe cleaners and I think it came out better

Thanks! I’m kind of intimidated to even attempt Sea Breeze now if it’s supposed to be even harder than Future Future World!

u/pluck-the-bunny Did I see you say somewhere that this was your first kit? I kept thinking if this was my first one I would have never done a second one!
