Ferris Wheel (10247) - The Wheel is Up!! Chapter 3 Done!

We had a momentous night yesterday, completing and mounting the structure of the ferris wheel. It DEFINITELY is starting to take shape. Each "side" of the structure was built separately and then the two sides were aligned and joined together. This took a little finesse to get everything lined up and snapped together.

I am confident that we assembled everything correctly as the wheel spins freely without any hitches or wobbling. The operation is very smooth - the small hand crank works well in propelling it along at a leisurely pace.

Chapter 4 may be the most fun (certainly the most fulfilling) part of the build as the trolleys are mounted and the finishing touches are put on. That will be coming up soon!!
