Hello everyone! Today's miniature build is a blue and white room belonging to a navigator. There's bits of her story in the video-see if you can guess who she is! The room box is detailed with white molding and blue wallpaper, with a walnut parquet floor. The navigator has a hinged walnut desk with a compass rose inlay, and a vintage Chippendale corner chair. A framed map hangs above her desk, and books and scrolls are scattered on the floor. Treasure chests full of gold and diamonds glitter in the flickering candlelight, and a miniature globe bar cart holds a secret stash of whiskey...
Unintentional ASMR-Use headphones if you want to listen closely to the sounds of cutting, sanding, and woodcarving.
Sit with me and watch the past few months’ work as I build this beautiful navigator's library ♥
