Development process of "Beauty and the beast" (4032pcs.) - updated 25th February 2017 + completed

Oh yes! New year starts with a fantastic challenge 😊

Thanks to a kind lady of the german forum who bought the 40k-recordwinning jigsaw puzzle 
"Memorable Disney Moments" I got advantage to assemble one bag. 


Beauty and the Beast is an animated fantasy film produced by Walt Disney. 
It's the 30th movie and I saw it on the big screen back in 1991.

We are several members who assemble various bags. We received the bags including a laminated copy and some sweets a few days ago and had to wait until today to start together.

First step: 4032 pieces filled in a small cardboard tray


and I started assorting the pieces roughly - by colour


Enjoy the song "Beauty and the beast" sung by Celine Dion and Paebo Bryson

it was a challenge to assemble those blue pieces - no idea how the white frame covered with hundreds of stars will be ....

a detailed view of ...

Today I chose blue ...
 
a blue window, the blue jacket - the window was a real challenge!

22nd January... a well-dressed 'beast' 

26th January.... a beautiful dressed lady


*****

not that much happened during the week, but today I managed to work on the beauty, the beast and some other details



so many pieces left!

***

I gave them stairs to walk down - during the weekend I'll try to complete the curtains as well as the dragons left and right.


****

The liquorice sweets are eaten and the curtains and bannisters are almost completed


There are a few dozens of light-blue pieces up left waiting to be attached to the curtain. My table is a bit too narrow to allow 2-3 rows on top to be assembled. Soon I'll 'cut off' the reel below on a separate board to complete the upper rows :-)

There'll be another short break this evening to assemble a 500pcs-vintage Ravensburger showing a 1960ies Vancouver sight.

busy during the weekend:



*****

 yesterday was Gargoyles-day

 

which led me to this point 😀


still some pieces left 


*****

some more gaps are closed and the centerpiece is complete now


*****

since yesterday I started to complete the star-spangled frame
but before that I had to devide 7 rows with the reel. My table is a bit too narrow


my daily task 😊

exactly six weeks after:


... and my 'certificate of authentification'

Finished 6th - 8th January 2017

Oh yes, it was Megamarathon-time again 😊
From 6th to 8th January 43 members of the jigsaw forum took advantage to assemble as many pieces as possible. I was so lucky to host three enthusiasts in my home and we had fun assembling jigsaw puzzles together

And yes, we can! 💪The all-time-record turned out to be broken Sunday evening. Just 705 pieces more = 175.095 pieces assembled during these three days. A bit more than 6000 by me.

So, here we go with the jigsaw puzzles assembled by your blog-mistress
