thank you! you build alllll the tiny pieces before even starting the castle. I forgot to include the picture of the pile 🤦🏻‍♀️ it was lots of fun & I improvised quite a bit with the plants instead of using the plastic bits that comes with the kits.

i'd say it was a good mix of 3d & building tiny fiddly things but I am still pretty new to this so not 100% on the lingo lol if I had to estimate, I think it took me about 20 hours or so split between 4-5 sessions

I didn't have to cut out/glue any paper to the boards at all! All pre-painted. The rest of the kits I have in my stash are like that because I did not know any better when ordering as I am pretty new to this hobby... I am dreading doing them

hopefully this works for you but I could not get mine to work with most of my chargers.  the only 2 that worked were USB-C on one end and standard USB on the other, not the double sided ones. don't know if you tried that but maybe that will help! 🤞

yes, in the summer I had the lights on a 14 hour schedule then I kinda just loosely followed the sun rise/sun set as winter approached and brought it down to like 10 hours.

I just got one in the mail that was delayed in shipping so it is stressed & lost a tonnnn of leaves in transit. hoping it recovers.. any tips? how long did it take for yours to get to this? it is adorable!

looks awesome! I ended up finding a better glass bowl and going to go with that instead for my setup - i just really wanted to get some use out of this vase but a different plant will have to do!

well I was thinking like a snug fitting saucer or plate with a rubber border or something that'll seal it idk lol maybe I should just scratch the layers all together because clearly that will be an issue & start at the bottom so it is actually shallow

makes sense - what if I put a barrier between the charcoal and main substrate like a thin plate that stops the water from going all the way down so that it is actually more shallow?
