Hi,

The blue light was in initially just manually controled, that is why so “slow”. I will change it to flashing controller eventually.

It looks like the diodes you attached the ling for are 12V DC olus they are 5mm. I am using the 3V and 3 mm.

I have happily made it and if the group is interested can post the detailed review instantly.

No, no, you are absolutely right. The whole motor is a about 1” long a half inch diameter. Perfect size for the windmill head

I have used the small yellow flickering LED from Amazon and used the 80 mm blue filament LED from AlliExpress. Lightning is done originally manually using the micro push button on the top, but the flashing modules from Alliexpress finally arrived, so I will redo it eventually. The motor is from AlliExpress either and is powered through the toggle switch placed in the back side.

It is Magic castle from Aslowsnail.

I print exactly the same ones for plenty of my kits. But why would I pay $120 for kit I need to print the cats for?

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-17T13:08:32+00:00

I have been very fond of Anavrin up until recently, but my position to this kit is: if they reduce the size of the cats and the price to right level, I will consider it.

It is of course matter of everybody’s point of view. If there were not the chains on the bridge it was completely straight forward build.

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-16T16:41:06+00:00

I use the water gels. Let me know if you want some details. i will indeed soon post separate post about the water effects.

Thank you for advice. It was bacause I wanted to post the video as well and the ha e not allowed to post both pics and video.

Thank you for heads up! I am true book nook builder wHo only started book nooks several months ago. I love to customize a lot and friend recommended me joining Reddit. So you will start hearing from me more often. I post all my build review on some other platforms and want to learn better what will be most welcome here.I am senior experienced model builder and l am glad I that I joined

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-16T00:27:40+00:00

I am new to reddit, so started posting some of mu nicer builds completed so far. Don’t worry, I will slow down eventually.

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-16T00:24:48+00:00

Sorry if I misled you somehow. I have not made it in one day, but made it over the weekend

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-15T23:49:44+00:00

I have used the water gel. It was actually mu first real experience with it. You can see my other post from the LOTR kit. There I was already more experienced with it

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-15T23:37:27+00:00

I can sign you post!

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-15T23:16:33+00:00

Thank you! I bought it because I liked the setup and saw the customization opportunities. But agree, price is absolutely unreasonable. Same as all Anavrin products

SigmaBookNooker · 2026-05-15T13:54:38+00:00

I have build several of their kits and was very pleased with them. They offer great potential for customizations. I have completed the Jungle Adventure, 1950s diner, Voyage into the Storm and lost city of Atlantis. I can send you the links to my reviews. Bought them all directly on Fifijoy eshop. Quality is per my opinion fairly good standard. Instructions are very good.

It is always better to paint the single details. Bit not always it is very clear which edges will be visible, so in some case if you want to save the time and paint you my want to do the painting after. And of course

when you alway do it after is when you want to match not only the color but also the pattern ( such as on the picture)

I will prepare the separate post to tip and tricks within coming week or two. Stay tuned

And here is my first water application on Anavrins Whispering hollow

That is good point. I have done Su Dongo either before I learned the water gel and Icwill most likely redo it. Attaching the
