My 16 completed kit, wow. That’s what a pandemic will do for you. I spotted this kit as a new release from rololife on AliExpress, and bought it as a pre-order, something I’ve never done before. It was about $55. 50s TV and fairground- it was made for me!
Finally got to work on it over the last three days and it’s made me so happy. It’s so stinking cute!
This was a superbly engineered kit and quite different to previous ones, this is mostly wood, with all the pieces prefinished. They come as flat bits of plywood with pieces to be pressed out
This one was more complex electronically than the previous ones-but easier. It has a little circuit board because it plays music and a motor to make the wheel rotate, plus lots of LEDs. It’s powered by a USBc connection
If I can figure out how to upload a video, I’ll show it working.
How fun! I love all the different details, including the fact that the knobs work the electronics. Was it hard to figure out the electronic aspect with no English directions?
Wow! If it cost that much on AliExpress I’m imagining the markup at shops, probably 80-100. Or more.
But.
It is AWESOME! I wonder if my son would enjoy something like this that has an electrical component to it.
Thank you for all of the detailed photos and video.
Congratulations! Your astoundingly tiny and utterly captivating little Music Dreamer Miniature is a Featured Project this week!
