Most ROKR 3D wooden puzzles keep their natural wood finish. We put more focus on the model design itself rather than assigning fixed color schemes.
More Robotime builders are now adding their own colors to create personalised versions of their models. You're welcome to join this growing community of creators and try out your own ideas.

One more progress post and then I’ll probably wait until I’m done but omg I’m so proud of how these ponies turned out!! It’s been years since I’ve painted anything so I wasn’t too sure how it would go but it was really fun. I’m glad I decided to use the same colour scheme but different patterns. It’s fun without clashing with the colour scheme I set up for the rest of the carousel.

I'm very happy with the ROKR locomotive model. It was a very interesting build and allowed for some interesting color choices. I used mostly silver gray and gold acrylic metallics, but wanted some color so I used some crimson on the exterior and red and green alcohol markers for the internal gears. It runs strong like a bull lol. I highly recommend this fun and challenging model.

Rokr makes some pretty good and accurate miniature vehicles. Their latest vintage car is no exception. Sure the wood is thin and there are lots of bendy bits, but they give you spares for almost everything that could break. If you do break something, its more likely your fault, not the model’s!! I choose to do mine as a 1910-12 Buick. It was an easy build, but took extra time to do the decorating.

Working Vitascope complete - fun project and I was pretty happy with my color scheme (It's often hard to tell where parts are going to end up when coloring them in advance!)

I told myself that I wasn't going to color any of the puzzles that I make but I have a hard time not adding any color at all 😛! Here's my Ferris Wheel and I was so happy that it turned nicely on the first try.
