For quite sometime I have lusted after the kits that you can buy to make miniature scenes.
Eventually I scrounged one for my birthday and this week I have concentrated on it.
Unlike my usual stuff, it is much smaller in scale , probably 1/24 or smaller.
Everything is provided as well as instructions, which although fairly comprehensive are not always easy to follow.
I am more than half way through and although it is beginning to look quite good, it has taught me a lesson.
Although they look lovely when finished, these are not for me. I don’t like the reliance on paper to replicate carpets and fittings and oh it is sooooo fiddly.
The real lesson is that 1/12 scale is the scale for me and I really love the inventiveness of working out how to make things from trash.
So all that glitters is not always the best !
But I am glad I have had a go.
