This is going to be a great house. I’m excited about this project, I think because I wanted to do an art deco build but was afraid I couldn’t pull it off. I love the style but don’t know much about it. I also like that this house has a curved element to it. It was on the list of things I wanted to include in my current build but I just could not fit everything in. One last thing...will this house be needing any original artwork? -
Your bay window turned out great, angles can be tricky. It’s a wonderful little scene -
I think the kitty is waiting to play with that twine. I hope all your details don’t get lost on the judges. So many unique and wonderful details in this piece...signature Brae It’s been a pleasure watching this come to life. -
Done! Now for the rest of the house....

The paneling turned out great. -
I am not familiar with this freezer paper method but it looks great. -
I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited to see this transform. Aaand in addition to knowing what a fabulous miniaturist you are....we also know what kind of food your cat eats -
The sheer size of this house is amazing, it intrigues me. Did you redo the stairs? This has been fun to watch progress. -
Thank you Linda -
Welcome Michael. Looks like you’re off to a great start.

So yesterday I did a 5K run with my wife. She has been wanting to do this particular event for the past 4yrs or so and she finally did it. I participated to support her. She prepared and I did not. I did finish though....with a time of 40:51

After a 10 year break from miniatures, I bought WHAT?!?

Welcome Anthony. I find 1:24 scale to be quite daunting myself but I have not ruled it out yet. There are quite a few talented people on here who work in that scale. It’s their impressive work that keeps pushing me towards it. I look forward to seeing what you do with your house. -
Thank you everyone! Well looks like the consensus is to leave it as is. I think I’ll put some oil on it to bring out the details and protect it. I always remember to take progress pics after the fact I started with the piece of wood you see, its about an inch and a quarter wide and 1/4 in. thick. (Actually from an old kitchen chair, I like to repurpose). I drew the design right on the wood in pencil, took quite a bit of erasing and redrawing to get it right. I figured in a design this small, proportion is key. Once I was happy with the image I cut away the excess wood on my scroll saw. From there it was just a lot of filing and sanding, I find both to be calming and therapeutic. To get the inside spaces I drilled holes and filed away. I have a 6pc set of small files I got from HD. I did use my Dremel for some of it but I found I made more mistakes with it as I’m not real good at controlling it. -
My pursuit of other interests but still probably related to minis.

Coming along nicely. Looks like the model that I borrowed from, which I got from..minis by Kris.
