Finicky painting, why won't you hang straight?

This lovely chest was bought as a kit from Arjen Spinhoven at a miniature fair. I loved putting it together!

Back again, and this time I have a lot of catching up to do, with only a few pictures to show for it!

A few weeks ago my order from the commercial lasercutter Snijlab came in the mail, along with some other things I had been waiting for (im)patiently. As you can imagine, all things not one inch scale were put on hold and our kitchentable became a cluttered mess of minis once again.

I also forgot to make decent photos at almost every step, so my sincerest apologies for any missing process pictures! I blame it all on my excitement.

Encouraged by your lovely comments I wanted to show you some of my progress on the roombox today. :)

I found a plastic bar (how do you call it?) with a 2 mm wide slot, and thought I could make the bottom half of the window slide over the upper part, by slotting both in the plastic trim. Above you can see the first design.

Complete with scratched vinyl

I cut the strips from some thin scrap veneer, so I couldn't tell you which kind of wood it is.

I poked in some nail holes with a mechanical pencil, and the graphite that stays behind makes it sheen perfectly in the light, like there are tiny nails in there.

For the wall I decided I wanted the biggest wall to be covered in white painted bricks. I decided to follow the advice of the amazing Otterine (www.otterine.com) and instructed my boyfriend to keep every carton of eggs. We had eggs with every breakfast for two weeks.
