Small World

One of the projects I did during my downtime from work in December was making this 1:18 scale dollhouse sewing room. I've always loved miniatures, but I've never before had the time to even flirt with a project like this. It came in a Rolife kit, from which I built everything you see from little tiny pieces of wood, cardboard and paper. Almost everything had to be assembled with glue.

It took me about a week and a half to paint, put together and fabricate, and all of it proved to be very challenging. At times I became a little frustrated, especially with the instructions, which were not exactly stellar. Still, I've made miniatures before, and what I couldn't follow I just improvised. The only part of the kit I didn't bother with was a hanging led light, which I might add in later.

I think I'm cured of wanting to build anything larger, but I'm pleased with the results.
