DIY Miniature House | Love on the Balcony TD05

This model was done back in November of 2020. A lot of life things started piling up, on top of workload at work, and Covid, it just didn't feel like a priority to post about a model I wasn't all too happy with the outcome with. This miniature house set was gifted for Christmas of 2019 by my in-laws, but it wasn't my favorite, based on the fact that I couldn't easily see all the things I had spent SO much time on. All the small little details, and what not, that take countless hours to create are covered by some lacklustre and colourful roofs. 

This house model took about 3 weeks (after work and weekends, totalling way over 50 hours) to make with everything made of wood, paper, wire, paint, metal and fabric. Everything #diy #handmade, hand cut and measured. There are some interesting things about the model though, that I can point out.

Overall model

Small details scattered throughout the model - and yes, there's some sandals, and some boxing gloves here.

Balcony - Area to dry some clothes

Bedroom view from outside - if you can see the pink leather chair

Bedroom - Bed, small bedside table, ipad and headphones, trophy, boxing gloves

Bedroom - top down view, otherwise you can't see everything here. 

Balcony 2 - Artist's studio space 

Balcony 2 - Artist's studio space - It's kind of cool there's a drafting table - just because I'd love one for my profession, and the amount I draw, but there's also paints and canvas and what not.

Artist's Studio - There's a nice lamp in there I'm pretty proud of with a nice side table, but unfortunately, it's obscured with everything else going on here.

 

Always with these kits, I forget they ask me to be an electrician. Again with the special yellow, red and white wires, with mini light bulbs, and directions asking to melt heat sinks. I definitely went the glue route rather than using a lighter to burn the heat sink. Definitely, it's the much safer route. But hoo-ray! They work! I'm always amazed, when I can get them to work.

                      Lights off.                                            Lights on!                        

There's even a cute little spot that's intentionally there to put the switch for the lights in the back. This is definitely a lot more convenient than the previous DIY house I made, where I had to keep looking under the house to turn on the lights.
