From the album: Micro Minis
I started working on the Kit several weeks ago as a gift for a friend. It's the 1:144 scale LaserTech Log Cabin Lodge. I've used masking tape here to hold the loose pieces back in the sheet after removing them for dry fitting. Painting while the pieces are in the sheet is easiest.© DAL Minis

The lights were not part of the kit, nor of the planning, so I had to design this myself. I had thought I could run the wires down the sides of the chimneys but that wasn't very feasible. So I drilled holes to run the wires through the wall.© Checkmouse

The wires are hidden under the vine climbing the wall, and the little white dot at the bottom is the switch for the lights. The base has an opening on this side to access the battery. The trees and shrubs distract from the electrical stuff.© checkmouse

June 5, 2013 I got an email response from the makers of my little kit, and yes, the piece was supposed to be in the box! She will be mailing it to me ASAP. This kit is made in England and I thought I was fluent in "British" but I'm finding some words I don't know. One of them is "sticky ply" - found out that it is a sheet with an adhesive back to it. Had to look up the word "chamfer" - the instruction sheet said to "chamfer the vertical edges". Okay - I'll get right on that! It means to cut a groove into, or bevel an edge. Maybe all the gurus here already knew that word but I didn't. I didn't like their color choices for the house (in the instruction sheet), using colors I don't really like (yellow or pink), so I got back online to research some more real Georgian Townhouses. Was there something about them that required those colors? Fortunately I found many different styles and colors, so I'm going with one of my own favorites - burnt sienna. June 8, 2013 Just spent almost 3 hours this evening popping out all the pieces and putting each sheet, carefully labeled, into individual baggies. I can't believe how many pieces are in this tiny house! There were 22 squares/sheets of pieces, and I've separated all but the missing sheet. One of the door frames split when it came out of the sheeting, but he mentions that there are extra doors and windows in the kit. Hope this is one of them! I put all the slivers in the baggie in case I have to reconstruct it.

This fellow came from a set of train people that were supposed to be hikers with their backpacks. They looked like "Borrowers" to me!© CheckMouse

A little closer look at their quarters - not finished yet. Note the slightly lifted floorboard under the cupboard where they make their entrance into the main house. I should have taken a closer picture of that bed - it's a moisturizer-thingy from a medicine bottle... and absolutely perfect for a little bed! It has flat, crimped ends and a "puffed" middle. I glued one end up to the wall for a headboard, and the other end down to the floor for the base. Then I spotted it with purple and green paint. Perfect little micro-bed!© CheckMouse
