This model was started back in November 2021. But I kept putting off completing it because of the lights. But I'm hoping this one will start the beginning of a couple others, because this one can be placed as a set with other models - at least, according to the box, and the other corresponding box sets in the series.
I did notice there were a lot less smaller items that needed to be built. Only a couple vases of flowers and plants, a lot of picture frames, slippers, and bunch of luggage suitcases. This house model took about a month (after work and weekends, totalling way over 30 hours) to make with everything made of wood, paper, wire, paint, metal and fabric. Everything #diy #handmade, hand cut and measured. There are some unique things about the model this time around though, that I'll point out.
Overall model
It definitely gives off a more romantic, older-age feel compared to the last few models I've made. I'm also happy I'm not spending...50% of the time making flowers out of paper and pretending I know what I'm doing. Because the model itself isn't as intricate as the others, it's easier to see in plain view, exactly what was put in to make it.
From the detailing of the handrail on the stairs, crazy bed frame and picture frames lining the wall.
One of the sides of the model has a very nice European arch, and some exquisite handrail detailing. The wall on the other side of the model has a simple pink window and window sill, which is a bit drab.
But the view from within is quite artistic.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.
