Now it is on to the carousel and the mixer, HOORAY!!!! I just finished builing and lighting the Ferris wheel with the Brickstuff kit, it is totally awesome! Wainting on the Powered Up remote to get here so I can run all of them at once. So, on to the mixer, which can't be lit. 🤔 Okay, okay, so the RIDE itself can't be lit, but both trucks, the trailer that mounts the ride, and the ticket booth will all be lit. But what about the RIDE? So I got a whole bunch of extra glow-in-the-dark parts to augment the ones that came with it, like replacing all the antenna parts that make up the fence with glow-in-the-dark rods, and more G-i-t-D parts for the arms, and I will use the 1 watt UV lights from Brickstuff to make them all glow. I am so excited for this one!

But I really can't wait to do the carousel. After very careful study of the instructions, the partially-built model, and the parts yet to go on, I THINK I can make a slip ring work. I like to light while I build, I don't want to take apart what I've built, so I am going to light the 4 lights on each of the 12 floor panels as well as lighting the top. My biggest fear isn't that I'll wire it up and then not be able to make the slip ring work, it is that after wiring and building it, it will be too heavy for the gears to turn, even with the motor. Any thoughts on that Rob? Any advice here would be much appreciated.
