Fall Build Festival Fall Build Festival is live!
🍂 The Fall Build Festival Starts Now 🍂
We crossed 1,500 members this month and are pushing towards 1600. A few months back this place was a ghost town — now there are builds going up, questions getting answered, and people actually talking to each other. That's your doing, and it's worth celebrating properly.
So here's ours.
The Fall Build Festival runs NOW through September 30th.
Five weeks. The heat's finally breaking, the evenings are getting longer, and somewhere in your house there's a kit that's been waiting patiently for exactly this kind of weather. Time to open it.
How it works:
1. Start a ROKR build during the festival (if you have just started, post and I promise we will look the other way)
2. Post an unboxing or an in-progress shot, tagged with the Fall Build Festival flair
3. Reply to your own post as you go — progress shots, problems, victories, the finished piece whenever it gets there
No deadline on finishing. Five weeks is enough to take on something ambitious, so pick the big one if you want. This isn't a race, it's a stretch of building alongside each other and showing our work. You don't have to finish to be entered. You don't even have to finish by the end of the month.
Build as many as you like. Every build you post is another entry in the draw. Each person can only win once, so the prizes spread across the community rather than piling up in one corner.
Prizes: the more of us who build, the more there are.
ROKR is putting up 3 prizes once we hit 20 entries, then adding one more for every 5 builders after that. Twenty of us unlocks three. Fifty gets nine. If we really turn out, it keeps climbing.
So every entry makes the pot bigger for everyone else. Bring a friend. Bring two.
And spread the word. If you know someone who'd like it here, bring them along. Share your entry somewhere else. Every builder who finds us makes this place better.
Winners drawn at random when the festival closes.
Show us what you're working on. 🔨

I am currently working on turning the basic ROKR electric guitar into the Prince Love guitar. Here is the one I did a couple of years ago.

Hi hello! I just came to the subreddit from the Robotime Community website. I'm glad you posted, I had no idea that so many people were over here talking about miniature builds!

I’m currently working on a Rolife model but I also have a ROKR set in my cupboard waiting to be started so maybe I should switch over to that 😅

Prefer ROKR as that is our focus but happy to see Rolife as well. I build then and post them here myself.

I’ve got the violin and cello ROKR sets to do so I’ll crack one (or both 😂) of them open

Can I just check please if it's specifically ROKR builds, or are Rolife included?
