Kit: Steam Locomotive by Rokr

Time: 7.5 hrs

Notes: I've been holding onto this kit for quite some time, afraid of messing it up. Unfortunately, I did damage the gear shift while trying to fix it. It does still work with a little extra effort though and the wheels function wonderfully! Pretty pleased with it.

Kit: Paris Cathedral by Rowood

Time: 2.5 hrs

Notes: These smaller scale architecture sets are my favorite. This will be going in my travel corner collection with the others, which hasn't had a new addition for about a year. Exciting!

Kit: Space Shuttle by Rokr

Time: 7.5 hrs

Notes: I neglected to do the recommended electronics check before building the shuttle so I'll never know if I installed the ignition flame LEDs upside down or they came broken. Oops. There are a couple other glitchy things like the fact that it will only go through the launch sequence once unless you unplug it and plug it back in, which cannot be my fault. But it's still really cool and I love showing it off.

Kit: Vintage Car by Rolife

Time: 2 hrs

Notes: I didn't enjoy this kit. A lot of the pieces were intended to be glued together which, in my experience, usually isn't a great sign of the quality of the design. Comparing it to other kits of the same brand, I've had much better. We're only going to look at one side of the car because the handle on the driver's side was shattered.

Kit: Poinsettia by Rowood

Time: 1.5 hrs

Notes: It's quite a bit smaller than I expected it to be but still very cute.
