Critique Wanted Detail work is my favorite!!

I finished repairing the body of the dollhouse and securing it to a board at the beginning of the week. After I touched up the paint and redid the wiring ( old burnt wiring with lead solder, it had to go!) I’ve been able to do my favorite part, being completely insane and nitpicky with 5000 tiny miniature details. I can’t tell if it’s too cluttered

This will inevitably be part of a diorama of a teenagers room (as part of a bigger project overall). Thought it came out pretty cute!

Halloween Paper Minis!

Post image
120 Upvotes

Working on a seasonal room box and found some adorable printable paper minis on Etsy and thought I’d give it a go! I was super intimidated when I saw the size of the pieces after printing but ended up proud of myself for pulling it together.

Am in no way affiliated with the shop so won’t post here but can share in comments if anyone is interested.

Make Market "Crumbling Confectionary" kit w/DIY elements

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

This was my first time adding DIY elements to a miniature kit -- I painted the edges/window frames/shutters/door/chimneys, added a little candy pathway to the door and candies on the stairs, and played around with some positioning (but not too much).

This was my first non-Rolife kit and while I missed many aspects of Rolife (the pieces in this MM kit all needed sanding, had to use pliers which I wasn't used to, and I also wasn't expecting to use liquid glue), overall I'm pleased with how it turned out!

(Last picture is to show how it should look without DIY elements)

I need recommendations for flickering lights that are super bright. Im trying to put some in this tv so it’ll light up the screen. I have 9-12 volt lights I got on amazon and stuffed a bunch of them in there but it’s still not bright enough.

I take a lot of inspiration from my home country Russia! What do you think? This is a hobby I just kind of started, and do in my free time when I'm not working. I'm looking forward to making more scenes!)) i enjoy making pieces from random stuff

Been a while since I've worked on this project. Working on clutter at this stage and also figuring out lighting. I'm likely going to rebuild the whole thing at some point. 3d printed some mugs(from makerworld) and painted them. I think they turned out so good.

Didn't like my first version from last week, so I remake it this week!

The "ingredients" on the platter are:

- Thịt nguội (Vietnamese cold cuts)

- Chả bò (Beef sausage)

- Chả lụa (Pork roll)

- Đồ chua (Pickled carrot & daikon radish)

- Pâté & Vietnamese mayo

Miniatures are in 1:12 scale, made with mainly polymer clay, a tiny bit tissue paper and bamboo.

First Build - Emily’s Flower Shop

Thumbnail

103 Upvotes

I’m so happy and just want to share this with everyone. I’ve long loved small things, and finally treated myself to a kit to try it out. Quickly ended up using my glue gun for a lot of the plants, and see how worth the investment a good pair of tweezers, glue, and sandpaper will make for the next kit.

Rolife Emily’s Flower Shop. Took me probably 7-9 hours total, 5 of them on Sunday because I just wanted to get it done and couldn’t stop.

Had several happy little accidents along the way, which meant adapting to make it my own. Even used a little bit of coffee grounds for some dirt out front. Super stoked.

What does everyone do with their completed kits? My next one is Oasis, and at this rate my house will be full of mini houses hahah

between job sites and this Python bootcamp I'm running on pure spite and espresso. needed something that wasn't another screen so I grabbed some scrap oak from my actual workshop and built a miniature version of my real bench. complete with tiny chisels, a micro vise I modified from a jewelry clamp, and a coffee cup that holds maybe three drops
