Wood stove mockup - detail

The Artist's Studio is small but it needs a method of heating. I thought about simple radiators, but where's the fun in that?

When I first started looking at wood stoves online, I liked the ones with decorative doors the best. I bought a Grandt Line O scale diamond pattern window (3743) to serve as the door. It comes in three parts, and I used two of the three to make the door. I also bought a small resin fire from Mainly Minis.

I made a quick paper mockup to test the overall stove size to fit the door and fire. I have the wood dowel from the original HBS Loft kit to serve as the stove pipe, but I rolled up a piece of paper for the mockup. I pinned on wood beads for the legs. I think it's a little short overall, so I plan to add a base for wood storage. I believe mat board will be the best material for the final stove. Kris at 1 Inch Minis does amazing things with mat board, and I've enjoyed working with it using her tutorials.
