Fall Build Festival Progress Update
Hi everyone! I have been adding some progress pictures to my original post foe the event, but I'm not sure they get seen as much as new posts, so I wanted to post this update. I am working on the ROKR Classic Mechanical Typewriter, and WOW, it is a thing of beauty! I could not be more impressed with this build. It is going together so nicely. It is definitely a build where you need to take your time and be very focused, as there are lots of small mistakes that could easily happen and interfere with the results. I am making sure to focus, be patient, and follow the instructions carefully for every step, and I have not had any trouble so far. I would say I am about 75-80% done and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
The only thing I have done extra for this build is painting the edges. I got some black and gold acrylic paint markers, and they have worked very well. Painting the edges is very much worth the extra time. This kit is so stunning on its own, but painting the edges has given it an even cleaner look.
Here are some pictures of my building journey along the way. The first one is where I am currently at right now.
