Hi, Daniel. Thank you for your excellent videos. Your real time format is absolutely the best on RUclips. The pace is very relaxing and as I am new to modeling, watching you sand and install pieces was wonderful. When I opened the box and saw the instructions, I concluded that I would not be able to complete the project. After watching your video, I am grateful that you are instructing me through the process! Again, thank you for getting me started in modeling as I have retired and now have the time to start a new hobby.
Thank you, I’m glad it helped, and thanks for watching as well! That globe is a pretty challenging build, as far as models like this go ROKR is a good starting point, most of their stuff goes together like a dream with usually one or two tricky steps, but I think they are usually some of the best results.
Just bought this and will watch your video for assembling :) did it require glue? I can't see in instructions where is says glue vs no. But they mention we won't get glue in the kit due to customs and have to source it ourselves. Also they didn't provide wax for us.. I assume if I get some rub on wax from hardware that should suffice?
It does not require glue, there is a part where I had to use some very mild two sided tape to hold the globe panels on. The wax is just normal paraffin wax, so you should be able to source that from a hardware store, or possibly cosmetics store. Good luck!
It usually comes with the kit, it looks like a cut off candle, I've actually switched to using vaseline (thanks to a helpful comment) just because I found it easier to get in all the nooks and crannies of the gears.

You got this!
Where did you get the wax from I looked everywhere for that but I couldn't find it

The packaging says due to international shipping regulations the wax and glue may not be included. I would send a screenshot but yeah
Get an emery board.
I did eventually move on to emory boards, later on, now I usually use a file instead, just so I don't wear it out.
