Just bought this for my cousin, she likes these things so hopefully she will like this one since she’s into this theme the most
I really enjoy your videos. You seem to have the perfect timing in your delivery, your voice is restful, and you don’t play annoying music in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much
Just me over here too chicken to tackle my sunshine town build 😬 I'm going to pick up some glue & paint this week and give it a try! Thanks for sharing your builds on YT .
Thank you for this! I was very conflicted about trying one of these as I don't fully trust the pictures on Amazon but before I had even finished your video I had paused it to buy one! Really nice review, answered any questions I have, very much agree about the magic house sign! I will be watching more of your reviews on book nooks to see what else I should get :)
Nearly finished mine, decided to paint the tree a nice antique gold with some sparkle on the top section, the owl white, and the signs, added a few gold added touches. ( Did this before attaching items) I did this as I thought it looked like it needed a touch of something..
I listened to your comments regarding the magic house sign, so I decided to do that in antique gold too with a touch of sparkle and not add the plastic bit.( Don't like that bit) All looks much better and the sparkle looks nice under the lights. Making the owl white has given a bit of a centre point too.
Glad I watched your build first so it gave me the nudge to add a little extra...thanks.
Excellent! It sounds great 👍
Would look great in a bookcase. Wow!
Thanks for the review! I did the Sakura Densya and the Cafe one and loved it. I was considering getting this one as a gift for a friend who likes Harry Potter, but I wanted to see what it looks like in detail first. So this was very helpful!
Thank you , I have a video on the channel of the time machine nook which is very hogwarts express inspired !
I have the Sakura one but I’m struggling with the included glue, what glue did you use?
@@narutobroken Huh, neither of mine came with glue (nor white paint for the cafe one). I'm using Aleene's Original Turbo Tacky Glue and I'm pretty happy with it.
@@teekatze8577 oh cool I’ll have to get some. Does it dry clear? Or do I need to be really careful on where I put it?
@@narutobroken Yes, it's white when wet but dries completely clear. Good stuff!
I love to put colour to these models. (as I build them)
It introduces all kinds of problems, but the end results spectacular & unique.
It takes much longer but I love the challenge. As long as you enjoy what you do. (to each their own)
Subscribed! It's very informative!😯
looks great scott im looking to order one in the near future but i do a simular thing with a company called kiwi co but not book nook related but they suprise u each month ive done ukulele and loads of others jays channel very kindley sent me the trashkit ball bin a few years back lovley company come in from calofonia but really liking the train one you did keep up the good work cant wait for your next video
I'm having serious problems getting the first to 2 window plastic things in. I'm just going to attempt to glue them in after I build the window
Could you pleade explain how to do the electric wiring? I gifted my friend this one for Christmas and she built it except for the wiring
You mentioned the lack of a focal point. I would say to remove the blue plate on the back snd replace it with like a very pale moonlight yellow. In front of that back plate, add a silhouette of a cat on a picket fence.
I feel homey went I see this art. From Indonesia 🇮🇩
Good review. I would have liked to see more of the build, but honestly If it was too long I wouldn’t have watched it all. Look forward to seeing more.
Hi. Thank you for this review. I am working on it rigjt now. And love it. But the blue window in the back you have is a stained glass window by me. Did they changed it or did you forget to remove the foil.?
They must've changed it , no foil on mine , it has detailing that is not showing up on camera but its still a very blue window
@@buildingwiththeboys wish i could send a picture here. It is not blue at all
@@anjafocke4398 buildingwiththeboys@outlook.com would love to see it
Brillant video, love these book nooks,
Just completed the rokr camper van love the wooden models nice way to chill out, keep them coming looking forward to more of your builds
Thanks Jay, I plan on doing the other 2 book nooks as well
I just bought the Sakura Densya nook, very excited to put it together. I've never done much model stuff outside a bit of 40k. Do I need a knife or a file?
Not really , sand the edges and you will be fine
I dont suppose you know where i could find a video on how to do the wiring for this book nook? I've looked everywhere because the instructions in my book just arnt detailed enough picture wise. i got this and didn't realise the instruction's would be in hard to read english (you can tell it's translated from chinese and not very well) I'm dyslexic so i'm struggling a bit, thanks.
Hey, I don't know if what I'm asking is a stupid question, but I need to be sure: Is "White Latex" the glue in this set? In the instructions everywhere it says to glue something together, but I don't have any glue included in the set, only this Latex, does it serve as glue? (Sorry for my bad english, its not my native language)
That should be fine
Is it possible to just not stick the “magic house” sign part? So it just looks with bricks on the front? Thank you!
Kind of , the wood beneath is shaped like the letters so would need modification
Hi ! I just found out this video and i'm having some trouble with the electric part of my own, do you have some other videos where i can see you do something like that ? 😬
a mi me pasa lo mismo,
Mine didn't come with glue so I've been winging is. Since I ran out of what I was using, do you have any suggestions? Should I keep on with the superglue, or try something else?
Woodglue, try loctite clear dry woodglue
Its basically eyelash glue. Its latex based
is it possible to build it without the Magic House sign or will it look strange? I hate the sign hue
It would look weird unless you cut the frame to shape
How on earth did you do the windows??? I cant get the shop clear part to stay inside the window panes as im putting it together. Ive never done one of these before, do i glue it??
No don't glue it , it slots in and is then held in place by the frame
@@buildingwiththeboys i couldnt get it in place like that. But I have tremors so every time i put it in place my hands spasm and it falls out. in the end I glued it to the back of the frame. It doesn't look as good as it's supposed to but you can kind of see the details with the lights on
I had to get a second person to help me hold everything in place when I did the windows with the picture behind.
So my advice sucks, get 4 hands.
I received the CuteBee Magic Alley Diagon Alley book nook for Christmas. The kit was an absolute disaster. Window frames hadn't been cut out, one window frame didn't match the window, the batteries in the battery box had leaked, and the way the kit was designed there was no way to access the battery box once it was constructed. There were some other things I wasn't too happy with as well. It was very fiddly putting together, possibly do to warping, but I had to do a lot of adjusting to get things to fit, and had to scratch build several windows. Not one to be discouraged I added a bunch of details.
I've ordered the sakura one so fingers crossed!! If your after a focal point... you could maybe add a little wizard miniature? Or a lego? Might make it pop just a tad more.
Love the review :)
Hello,
Can I ask you, from which site do you buy them ? Pls
Thanku
Hi maxine, I buy mine from Amazon
@@buildingwiththeboys thanku :)
What brand glue did you use?
I used the glue that came with it
I just received mine, and the instructions are in Chinese. Will the pics be enough directions to work it? Is there somewhere online where I can find the English instructions for the Magic House?
Pictures should be plenty
There is a ugears hogwarts train set, DIY assembly. I recently got it and it's a great build.
That's cool , I believe that do the harry potter night bus as well !
I'm stuck toward the end . The instruction show a square piece (P14) that goes on H3. However, P14 is supposed to be the glue. Is there a piece P14? And then it says fold B11 along dashed lines. Well B11 was used a while back. Help!
Send pics of the build and the instruction you are referring to , to buildingwiththeboys@outlook.com and I will help where I can
What happens if you need to change/recharge the battery?
It's just AA batteries, you can access the battery compartment from underneath and just swap them for fresh ones
@@buildingwiththeboys Thanks! You responded way quicker than I thought.
I think I would build it without the brick front. The brick seems to obscure the front view.
Pronounced Saw-koo-ra
Thank you 😊
@@buildingwiththeboys welcome :)
Omg how did you get the lights to work... I think mine might be defective -_- or I'm doing something wrong but directions say to use QR code ..there is no code
I got it to right right after posting. I'm doing sunshine and you can't test the lights first... I suggest not gluing the bottom part over the touch sensor. Thank god I didn't lol
Take the 3 black wires from the lights and twist the exposed ends together , then take the black wire from the battery pack and twist that with the black wires from the lights repeat this with the red wires and you should be good
Let me know how it goes , I can't find a sunshine town available in the uk but I really wanna build it
i glued the bottom part over the touch sensor and can’t get it to turn on 😭😭
@@isabel9134 can you ease it off from the glue ?
@@buildingwiththeboys i put glue but then took the bottom part to test the sensor thingy but it’s not the glue i guess it’s the wiring
In Florida you can get them at Michaels
I think all Michael's carry them. Got this one in Washington state today.
