Great video! It's fun to try something new ☺️ As to ever doing it again, I wouldn't recommend making up your mind after this one project. Kits are wonderful for getting your feet wet but you always have to wonder about the quality. If you wanted to try again I'd suggest lurking around a miniature maker forum. You can always try something really small like making a witchy apothecary bench/shelf so you don't need to worry about filling a whole diorama. Either way the bakery turned out very nice and now you get to play! 😄
Indeed! Luckily, the only part that seemed wonky with the kit was the door... seemed a bit wobbly! XD Lots of furniture pieces felt like they were held together with naught but hopes and wishes lol, but the pastries were A++
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! i bought this kit for my girlfriend and i to build and this was really helpful, especially wiring the led and what glues to use so ill prepare that stuff to make it easier for us
Aw man, you didn't get any glue either? I thought now maybe it was an accident 😆 The other kits have a very nice glue included which would have made things a LOT smoother!
I've watched quite a few doll house/minature making videos before and to me it looks like a LOT of work. Making the pieces to put together for ... say... a single piece of furniture, waiting for things like glue or paint to dry fully or resin to cure. Then there's things like carving and sanding. Worth the work in my opinion, but it's a months-long dedication easy. I'd honestly love to see you try it though one day. I hope to try it as well when I can get the research done properly and gather all the materials. As for THIS project you just showed us, I'd do the same thing. Change up the store just so I could play with the food for a bit because of my love of tiny cute food. Lol.
Yes, even with this premade one, I was just assembling a few things in the later evenings over the course of a week or two, and quickly realized how much more involved it would have been building from nothing! 😬
My first kit was Sam's Study. I was hooked and completed two more. I've since transitioned to Book Nooks. My piece of advice - kit bash. I've saved bits from all my kits and tweaked each project to suit. Try another one, for getting out of your comfort zone with this project - WELL DONE.
Indeed! I am intrigued by how many leftover bits there are, like fantastic glues, pieces of floors, roofs, bits of wood. Maybe they could be useful someday haha
This kit looks very easy. I agree with saving all the bits, and don’t be afraid to change things to your taste, print out different pictures etc. I did Sam’s study totally different. Pinterest has a few artists who have done the kitchen in many styles! The more you do the braver you get.
Can you please roughly estimate how many hours it took to make this? On their website it advertised as a 4 hours project but of course I doubt it very much 🤣🤣 I am familiar with 3D metal, wood or even those lego puzzles, I want this to be fun not frustrating, and of course the glueing part is the most annoying part!!
Oh, you are probably right! I can't estimate time as I did it slowly over the course of maybe a week or so? I'm also skeptical of that 4 hours. Looking at it, I think maybe an experienced person could do it! But there were too many times where I felt captive to holding tiny pieces together with glue because there is nothing locking the pieces in place lol
this stuff relaxing to build but also stress inducing one wrong move and you'll think for 20 minutes before just nyeh il continue and mess it up again because thats how i feel making these b4
Hellooo I really hope u see this cus I need ur Help. Could you please send me pics of the instruction book? I bought this kit from a different country and now I can't understand this lol
Oh noooo! 😆 I tested and was able to get a free copy of the manual here: www.unicorntoys.com/collections/manuals/products/dg161-beckas-baking-house-robotime-rolife-miniatures-kit-manual
I probably used Tacky glue (which is just a thicker school glue) for most of the paper/wood parts, but switched to silicone glue (like E6000) for plastic windows or anything else that looked impossible to stick lol The newer kits seem to come with their own silicone glue now, thank goodness!
@@YellowMelle I dont mean the roof or the transparent panel. you know there are like lil stick that you put on the side of the floor to add more department, So you can have more room up, down or to the side.
I have the same one and I think my wire for the light broke while i was trying to wire it :/ Do you have any tips for it? I dont really like how they make you cut the TINY wire and fully wire the light.. its very difficult
It is difficult!! 😫 Stripping the plastic off of the ends is worrisome because they're so thin I thought for sure I'd just cut right through them, or connect the wrong ends lol. The neat thing about wiring is you don't need a lot of surface connection for it to work, so once you get a bare wire, you can just wrap it around the metal post like a twist tie and slide the rubber tube over it. I was hoping to have footage of that, but it was so fiddly and tiny that I could not do both! lol. I at least had proper wire stripper tool and heat gun, which isn't really mentioned in the instructions... this video is pretty close to my experience of it: ua-cam.com/video/cxWP9dLhHhM/v-deo.html
@@YellowMelle Thank you so much! when I tried wrapping the wire around the light, the open part of wire just popped off :/ I'm not really sure if that is why my light isnt working but I am very sad about it
if you're quick and don't mind getting burned :D Funny enough, the weird glue the kits come with now remind me a lot of hot glue, because it does the same thing with the tiny sticky strings. So on one hand, I like that it's faster. On the other hand, I always get an invisible string stuck to my hand and accidentally rip the pieces apart with it 😩But yeah, heck, I'd try it once
This one didn't 😭 I recently tried a different rolife kit, and that one did have a fantastic glue, so I'm wondering why I was on my own with this one? Trying to use school glue for some of this was pretty miserable lol
@@YellowMelle Aw thank you! And I found that tacky glue should be the perfect glue for the kit, it's clear, and dries fast! Not toooo fast though like silicone glue.
Youre so real for showing the struggles. Watching other videos i often wo der how they do it so easy! Especially the part about whoch glue to use!

It looks adorable. I don't think I'd have the patience to do all that fiddly little stuff, but I want to play with it!!
It's almost big enough to fit my little sailor moon figures, but sadly, not quite! LOL
@@YellowMelle Too bad! That would have been fun. 😄

Also, I use UHU glue. Can’t find a silicone glue. Or maybe that is. You want one that dries kinda fast
I love this, great job :)
Update: I got Becka’s Bakery and completed it! 🐻 SO MUCH FUN
I’ve never had a video tell my not to subscribe. I am now a subscriber 🤭
you'll rue the day! etc 😅

So true, I follow instructions pretty strictly. Luckily, they do give excess wires and tubes and stuff, but it would suck to waste too much!

Does it come with the stuff that they used to add more houses at the sides?
i don't think so, but that sounds great! I'd love a dust cover myself.

@@mochikinzy4912 Aw man, that sucks! :(
Question, would it be easier using HOT glue gun instead of the liquid glues? Any suggestions on this . Thank you.
if you're quick and don't mind getting burned :D

@@YellowMelle thank you. I will try the glue it came with
Im thinking of buying this exact kit! Does the kit already come with glue?
This one didn't 😭 I recently tried a different rolife kit, and that one did have a fantastic glue, so I'm wondering why I was on my own with this one? Trying to use school glue for some of this was pretty miserable lol
Oh ok! Good to know so I can be prepared thank you! 😊 I'm gonna get this kit on my birthday which is soon so...
@@Just_a_friendly_person HAPPY BORTHDAY! I hope you enjoy itttt
@@YellowMelle Aw thank you! And I found that tacky glue should be the perfect glue for the kit, it's clear, and dries fast! Not toooo fast though like silicone glue.
What scale is it ?
Hmm website says 1:20 scale 🤷♀ I hope that's right
