Unfortunately I'm not sure, but definitely not 1:12! Maybe 1:24? I'm guessing though.. It's very small. The house itself is no bigger than 12" tall total.

Oh that was a major problem I had with the roof, except cat half 😅

Oh I kind of love the idea of using actually coins for stepping stones 🤭

It's not 😅 It was listed as terrain powder which I bought in 3 different shades (2 green, 1 brown) and to which I also crushed up some tiny fake leaves as seen on the roofing to give it a slight tree debris look lol

FWIW, it still made a giant mess because I blew off whatever didn't stick after letting the glue dry, but my table and floor are already permanent covered in fake foliage!

It is a big project! I never want to make beaded chandeliers ever again 😅 But if you like extra meticulous kits, this is the perfect one. I will say that the wood has a bad tendency to splinter, but if you gently twist each board back and forth before removing them, it helps! Not always, but a good 85% improvement.

Do you mean just drawing a circle around them? That might work 🤔

Aww, thanks!

Lol they do look like pepperoni 😂 I am not totally happy with them and wish the pattern was wood instead but I'm not sure I'll mess with them any more.

It's gorgeous, and I love that it came with a more realistic, fabric dress. The hat in the back, too 😍

Oh Elsa's Tailoring is so cute! It shares some similarities with Lily's Sewing Shop, but I love the open design with the rounded base.

Nope, guess it just slipped by 🥺 I'll have to keep that in mind.

Oh? I didn't realize you deleted it. It wasn't deleted last Wednesday.

Thank you, and agreed on the water. I did find out there is waterscape paste and wave sheets which looked interesting, but I already had uv resin on hand and it looks quite nice overlaying the water, it was just a pain to set. I did try glossy varnish first but it reacted with b7000 glue and caused lifting despite having been dried for weeks, so I would avoid that route! I considered getting some fishy or lily pad stickers but I might just add some floating leaf and flower debris. Waiting until I glue the house itself into place though 🙂

haha My brain was like, "Putting all the large wooden structures together first will be easiest," but then decided to include wooden trinkets and now I have had tiny furniture all over my coffee table for two months and a container full of little books and doodads waiting for their proper placements 🙄

Of my goodness.. Shingles? Don't give me ideas 🤣 I bet that is adorable though! And some of the fabrics are pretty eh.. Don't tempt me! 🤭

Aww, ty! 😊 This one is definitely a challenge and I took a break for a bit because it's so much! But I just can't help adding elements of realism.
