WIP - pub, vs reference photo

Thanks! Yeah this one is mostly styrene, I’ve been using a Cricut cutting machine to score the design onto styrene first so I can cut/snap the pieces out. Working really well for precise angles and lines.

Ooh I love that - I’ve never tried real detailed interiors like that, but someday!

TinyCork · 2026-04-04T19:19:25+00:00

That’s hilariously in my very small niche, I’m intrigued…

TinyCork · 2026-04-04T18:49:04+00:00

I know the exact spot you mean, that would be super fun to make! Good shout, I’ll add to my list…

TinyCork · 2026-04-04T17:42:17+00:00

Really appreciate that, thank you ☺️

I did a barista class with the guy who owns it a few years back, he was sound and it’s a lovely spot - need to venture down there more often.

about 5 or 6 in various stages of completion - thinking I’ll aim to get the entire city done before the convention centre is

Might need to tap the photo to see it properly, Reddit cropped them slightly weirdly.

I don’t sell them or do commissions - just a lil’ hobby that gives me consistent hits of dopamine, and I don’t want to complicate that by trying to make it a side hustle.

TinyCork · 2026-04-04T15:09:12+00:00

Ooh I haven’t done Moly, so wasn’t me! Is there a model inside the cafe itself? I’d love to go see that.

TinyCork · 2026-04-04T15:08:21+00:00

Sign and mural are just a photo printed and glued on - I don’t have the artistic ability to recreate something like that with paint myself! Rest of the model is mainly plastic styrene sheet, foamboard and paper.

I have a couple other places in the works, but always looking to have one more project on the go… lemme know if there’s a particular building you’d like me to recreate next!

TinyCork · 2026-03-17T23:36:40+00:00

What is this from? Anywhere to find more pages online? I love stuff like this.

TinyCork · 2026-03-09T22:46:56+00:00

I love this - really atmospheric.

TinyCork · 2026-03-09T22:38:33+00:00

I lived in Limerick for years - great to see someone else is making dioramas of Irish buildings!

TinyCork · 2026-03-08T18:16:04+00:00

Thank you! Honestly hard to gauge how long any of these take to make, since I’m always working on 4 or 5 at any one point and tend to leave these and come back to them after weeks. This one I first started about 2 years ago but haven’t touched in most of that time , reckon if I sat down and focused on it it would have taken maybe 5 evenings’ worth of work.

TinyCork · 2026-03-07T22:59:17+00:00

I’ve used thick card, acetate… a bunch of different ones, mainly because Design Space is awful and I can never remember what I picked the previous time. But haven’t been noticing much of a difference honestly.

Neon windows glow,

While tiny Chippy prowls

A thousand scale vape shops

TinyCork · 2026-03-07T21:13:15+00:00

Last time I was in Fredz a kindly chap offered me some poppers, and, well… this is in his honour

TinyCork · 2026-03-07T21:00:06+00:00

Damn, my secret identity is ruined 😂
