Ferris Wheel (10247) - It's Starting To Look Like a Ferris Wheel!

We finished the 4 legs of the support frame for the wheel last night and it is REALLY starting to look like a ferris wheel now! Check this out!





Something that my mom and I noticed was that the color match between the instruction manual and the physical pieces took a turn for the worse at this point of the build. In Chapter 1, the color matching was pretty good and with proper light, it was not too difficult to distinguish between some of the more similar colors like light gray, dark gray, brown and black.

However, in chapter 2, the pieces in the instruction manual were all colored in a DARK gray while the pieces were a LIGHT gray. Luckily, we only had light gray pieces to work with in the chapter 2 bags so it wasn't a huge deal. However, this means that when we disassemble it, we are going to have to sort all the pieces back into their original chapters so we don't accidentally mix up pieces from different chapters when we build this again in the future.

Not sure why Lego did this but we will have to keep an eye out on the coloring in the other chapters.
