I made a couple of small errors but dammit I did it. I bought it for my birthday almost a month ago, to see if I had the dexterity in my addled hands and brain, and the answer is, I do!

No art pictures on these, I just built a predesigned wooden model kit, no real creativity, just instructions and endless dexterity rolls.

        I’m just bitter I broke one of the most fragile bits in the thing a moment ago, trying to correct a lighting problem.

            It’s a bendy fragile piece. I’ve got a replacement, but even to get a missed sticker put in back there took me two chopsticks and a rigging system for them, cause my hands aren’t that accurate.

            I’m gonna have to open the case, dismantle the second floor, swap out the part, and put it back in, and my hands aren’t up to the task, and neither is my mental state.

            Maybe later. My wife has dyspraxia so she prolly won’t be good at this, but maybe a friend?

              Doing this with chopsticks sounds abysmal ngl, I’d even suggest aquarium tweezers (longer than regular ones but not as thin) over chopsticks.

              Good luck though! I’m sure you’ll work it out!
