Thank you for the support

Only 1 day left. Thanks everyone for the follows, kind comments and support!
As you can see in the stats below, it really started off with a blast then cooled down after a few months.
I guess doing more promotion would help keep the momentum going.
I am planning to rework the model a bit, update the renders and resubmit this idea.
Stay tuned!

Prototype 2

Here's another behind the scenes update.

This prototype might look like garbage, but in terms of function it's almost identical to the final idea: fully rotating cylinder with gear mechanism, mirrors to reflect the images and 12 placements for the bricks to be changed out easily. I looked at the official merry go round model for inspiration on the cylinder, and the detective's office on how to tackle placing the mirrors

This prototype is what I used to start working out everything in 3D in stud.io. Maybe I'll post it in a next update 😊

Early Prototype

Hello, it seems like reaching 5K is even a stretch now, but I'd thought I'd share a little 'behind the scenes'.

Here's a very early prototype, mainly to test the rotating mechanism. As you can see, there were no mirrors yet, and it's a very simple build. I like to prototype a lot before I dive into the actual model, especially when there's technic bricks involved.
