DIY Project #14 or 12B, Part 2

7 Jun

I threw myself into working on DIY project number 14 or 12B with a dedication unseen before. Maybe this time around, with the recent loss of a friend and the MCO cabin fever of staying indoors for so long, is getting to me.

Nonetheless, I am pleased with the pace that I am at for this set. I reckon I can finish it in another week’s time, a record of sorts for a complicated set, taking only three weeks; a far cry from the last project that took almost three months.

Books galore and a lamp post challenge

But I now face the most challenging part for any DIY miniatures – working on the sofa chair and three lights. Typically, it is the fabric, lighting, or wire works that pose a challenge. I hope these challenges don’t derail the completion.

A Terrible Loss

4 Jun

This fight against the pandemic becomes more urgent and personal when it hits you to the core because it’s someone you know and not a number on the daily statistic.

Yesterday I lost a friend to Covid-19. Rest in peace, my friend. I have no words to say.

DIY Project #14 or 12B

1 Jun

Soon after completing DIY project number 13 or 12A, I jumped right into working on project number 14. As I am not keen on the numbers 14 (and 13), being superstitious, this set has another number, 12B, like the recently completed set.

The project started well. It’s a bookstore, and there are many books to make. But several days into it, I hit a snag! Uh oh.

I glued the books down on the orange shelf wrongly. And now it looks weird, but I guess nobody would know if I didn’t say anything, right?

I have to be more careful from here on.

Books, lots of book and pictures for this set!
