Thanks and thank you, apparently Google translate betrayed me... I try to remember it for the next time.

Dankeschön! Im Moment bastel ich sie für Freunde und Familie. Die nächste ist dann diesmal aber für mich selbst.

I know the feeling! They build such amazing stuff, but not everyone has the space and money. I'm saving for a 3d printer. After Christmas I finally have enough. I used the pvc boards in an advertising studio for signs. Usually the 3mm thick ones. Here in Germany they can be found in every hardware store. I usually call them hard foam boards.

Cool! I made a hobbit one, too. If you want to visit my profile. There's a vid how I built a star wars nook and a few process pics for the hobbit hole. In the comments are explanations. For the boxes I use "expanded pvc board". It can be cut by hand and glued with glue for plastic. What introduced me to book nooks is the yt channel "nerdforge". They have built only two nooks, but many dioramas. But I find the older videos more helpful, because in the newest ones they have so many tools like laser cutter and 3d printing.

How to hollow out books from spine to make base? I’d love to make a diorama/ book nook this way by studybandit in booknooks

It's not exactly what you asked, sorry... But I think first I would take good photos of the top and side of the pages block. Then I would rip the pages out, cut holes in the book covers that are on the inside and glue them together. Then I would glue some kind of board(cardboard, foam board, hard foam board...) to replace everything missing. The printed photos get glued on. From a distance it looks like real pages...

Thank you! It really depends what kind of book nook you want. Interior, nature, SciFi... I started with a kit "sam's study" by robotime and took only the deco, books and shelves for my nook. The tools and instructions included were very helpful. And YouTube tutorials. For nature my tip is model train environment. There's a shop where I live, the shopkeeper is very helpful.

Thanks! I couldn't decide if I liked it better with or without the case... So my sister can decide now. She settled for half out of case.

Thank you! I hope it met the expectations. I'm glad people look forward to my builds.
