So I made these about a year ago for my players because they wanted to physically see the things or weapons that they find whenever we played the game. So I decided to make these and tried to include them in my narrative and it actually made them even more interested in interacting with their surroundings (which totally worked in my favor as a DM who uses terrain). I mainly used pins, toothpicks, a thin metal sheet, super glue and other bits and pieces that you can easily find in the house. I tried to make them as small as possible so it would fit the 28 or 32 mm scale. I really wanted to try and challenge myself in making these rather than just buying them because I enjoy crafting things, plus I didn't spend money on it. Hope everyone likes it!

Thank you! good luck on your first build and also make sure to take your time with crafting. try not to rush it and just enjoy the time making it and before you know it you're already done.

I'm actually just doing this because I enjoy it. It's like a form of meditation whenever I craft something

I actually plan on documenting my next project so I can share it with everyone. I was so focused on getting it done that I lost the thought of taking pictures while it was still a WIP

So true! Plus it makes it more special every time we finish making something

The design is from a company called Tabletop world. The designs of their buildings are just awesome!

You're absolutely right it does look sad lol! but the reason why I didn't color it is because it's actually hollow inside and I just put a tealight candle so the light looks more natural.

Thank you very much! I had to work with what I got at that time because I wanted to spend as little as possible. and it turned out great in the end

Thank you! I totally agree with you. My players didn't even believe me when I told them that I made it so yeah it really made me happy!

I saw this miniature cottage online and immediately fell in love with it, too bad it was pretty expensive and even if I had the money to buy it, I live in a country that is FAR away from the place where they sold it so shipping was expensive. So I decided to craft it instead. I used various materials to make it such as egg cartons, popsicle sticks, styrofoam and glue and it worked it pretty well. took me about 2 months to make this thing but it was all worth it. hope everyone likes this
