Watch me add custom touches to this tiny tin kit from Temu. There are pieces made entirely from scratch. The café was transformed into a hotel lobby. I added flocking to the plastic bunnies to make them look like Sylvanian Families critters. This video is like a mindfulness meditation. Relax & enjoy :)
Search "Miniature Box Theater 3D Model Diorama Theater DIY Mini Box" on Temu to find this kit and the other options available in this tin style kit

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

A few years ago when I became interested in minis, I watched a channel where the girl put together fairly complicated kits of 2 and 3 story houses. Some with pools and/or landscaping. Of course, all of the interior furniture and accessories. I like the additions you made to the kit. Big improvements.❤

Very cute. I thought about getting one of those mini kits but I lose pieces of my regular size projects quite often. I would end up losing my mind trying to keep all the parts together. Then there's always the chance one of the cats would try to help... I love the look that you gave it with all the greenery.

@queencityminis Жыл бұрын

I hear that. I lean back in my chair when I'm working on small things up close. Then I drop things and have to crawl around looking for them. I also kept losing things I was holding in my tweezers. That's even worse bc they fly across the room. There would be a "ping" and the item is gone.

@queencityminis Жыл бұрын

Thank you! The glue is actually Formula 560 Canopy glue. I got it on Amazon. Model makers use it to attach sails to tiny ships. It's like thin tacky glue to me. It really holds it's dimension when it dries. Wood glue also works well for adding dimension, but it takes longer to dry. The Canopy glue only took 5 mins or so. Elmer's glue doesn't work well for that trick. I kept calling the kittens bunnies and in my mind, they were bunnies. Now I can clearly see they're kittens, even though one has a bunny tail 🐇 The story is about two kittens in Paris. It's all a puzzle lol
