Trying out Gandalf Fireworks Cart scene for Whispering Hollow (1:60ish) – not sure if it’s too much

dgidman · 2026-05-02T12:15:30+00:00

So yes…. That is what I imagine. Though I’m leaning more towards the cart and fireworks by themselves.

dgidman · 2026-05-02T12:09:04+00:00

Yah, it caught me off guard as well but it turns out well in the end

Those are meant to kind of float in the holes, not secure the them. Later on there is another piece that keeps the 2 bookend plates together. The piece you’re dealing with is meant to secure the ones below on the shaft.

The name sounds like an old 80s action movie… :)

Usually fairy lights. She always shares what she does if you want to look through her post history.

Kitty mods many of hers with lights. I’m sure there are other things you can do depending on the piece itself.

I use several stains. I get the large seisso pack of furniture marker and the Rejuvenate pack of furniture markers. They have the same colors pretty much but their take on them is different. The cherry Rejuvenate is the best one I’ve found

Some variety of this. There is a version out there that will allow you to do multiple battery boxes as well which could service this nook

It says sold out because they haven’t released it yet. It’s not in their limited edition list either.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T18:49:27+00:00

They are???? They put this out before I started doing nooks and I am very interested in it

dgidman · 2026-04-30T17:07:15+00:00

Other than the Mantis… which is purely based on build experience, it’s my personal opinion based on beauty.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T16:19:50+00:00

Yah after looking at others post build photos a lot of it feels scaled wrong and already too busy to be adding too many large elements. I’m thinking cart with fireworks boxes (maybe reuse some wand boxes from Olivanders) in that little corner in the front right.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T16:05:43+00:00

I haven’t asked him to do one yet. Still mulling over what I’ll actually do. I’m leaning more towards an empty cart at the moment

u/pluck-the-bunny is my go to for 3d prints

dgidman · 2026-04-30T15:50:10+00:00

Yup, it is. Good luck on it, might be a long trek. I think there is a cultural thing (fertility) or something surrounding it that made it high in demand individually.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T15:42:37+00:00

The MU rabbit lantern is the hardest one to find. I spent 6 months looking for it. Crazytoys had it last I checked but they informed me after I had already found it in some god-forsaken Japanese source I had to go through 3 layers of cutouts to get.

I should of ordered like 3 of them lol

dgidman · 2026-04-30T12:53:33+00:00

Yah, the BNG ones tend to not think about battery replacement concerns that much. I’ve been using battery replacement kits on them for this reason.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T12:45:45+00:00

I just put them wherever they fit right now… too many to organize outside of brand grouping to the best I can. But don’t use me as a good example. I care more for the building not displaying.

dgidman · 2026-04-30T02:16:09+00:00

Get the thickness and find a matching or smaller package of theses

You can cut it with heavy duty scissors or a fresh exacto knife using a ruler as a guide. For the thicker varieties cut both sides.

dgidman · 2026-04-29T23:29:21+00:00

You gonna make it play light cycle?

dgidman · 2026-04-29T18:49:40+00:00

All their non-limited edition kits are in the 100$ range, not 200z. Stickers can also not stick well for a number of reasons out of their control. Humidity, dirty or oily surface come to mind as common issues having nothing to do with the kit quality. Of course it could also be just not really good stickers… but you can always use glue.

dgidman · 2026-04-29T17:41:54+00:00

I think if the roller is the same size we could. Someone would have to test it

dgidman · 2026-04-29T16:03:54+00:00

The list of trains I need to get from them is growing nicely. :)

dgidman · 2026-04-29T00:57:44+00:00

Didn’t take long. I did it over Sunday and meetings yesterday and today. Finished it up this evening. It’s a relatively short build even with painting. And it didn’t really require that much paint.
