This took me a little over 5 weeks to build, but it was worth it! I love how customizable it is! I love autumn/Halloween, so I wanted to make an autumn scene. I printed out my own signs for most of it and glued them to the extra signs they include in the kit. I used acrylic paint since it dries pretty quickly.The wiring is the hardest part, but the video included in the product photos here helped a lot. I was only a little confused as to which wires went where because in the video they talked about black and gold wires for the lamps and mine were red and blue. But I just went ahead and wires everything else up and attached the battery (after charging it) and was able to test them on the wires to find out which went where (blue goes with black and red goes with red.) It was honestly a lot easier to wire than I initially thought it would be, the most “complicated” part was connecting all the wires together without them coming undone. They’re so small and hard to twist, but some very small needle-nose pliers helped a lot! I also had a heat gun, so that made shrinking the protective cover over them much simpler than using a lighter.Over all, this was a fun build and I enjoyed the fact that it was more complicated than most of the book-nooks I had previously built. I wanted something more challenging that I couldn’t assemble in just a day or two, and the fact that I could decorate it however I liked was the best part!
