Many thanks gents

Yes, maybe it is a little too ‘dolls housey’ but I like to make things and it's good to keep my hand in on this sort of thing.

I’m taking inspiration from some of the Japanese modelmakers out there. Those crazy buggers do this sort of thing all the time and at much smaller scales (1:150 being a popular one).

May I ask what range the miniature is from? She looks ot be a great fit for a number of genres.

I don’t know I’m afraid, got her second hand from a b&b a few years ago.

Could Hama beads perhaps be used to make various jars and bowls? They are easily shaped with heat.

Not sure what they are mate, got a link?

Doll housing your scenery is the way to go I say! And maaaaaaan, your table is getting so awesome. Love the little details. More!
It's just really satisfying to finish a scenery piece with every part added to complete the scene. And once it hits the tabletop it's even better. It also helps with the (visual) story when playing the game. But it does take ages to complete

Huh!?

They come in different sizes.

Lovely details

Not sure what you could use the Hama beads for?
Unless it is a beer mat to place you glass on while you are building stuff?

Loving the kitchen, the patience that must go into making all those details has me green with envy!

Thanks chaps

I do occasionally find the really tiny work therapeutic (unless it goes wrong then I go and sulk

).

Some progress made as the kitchen gear and walls are just about done. Bowls, condiments and utensils next. The customer bar needs some aluminium trim on the edge and I still need to print the stools.

Once they’re done then it’ll be the main walls of the establishment. I’ll probably use Sandtex (textured masonry paint) and paint them a dirty tan colour. Thinking about spraying up some thin card to look like cheap Lino for the floor and when suitably dirty it should do fine. Some aircon units on the walls and maybe a wall mounted telly along with some menus should finish it off.
