[DIY & Creativity] Structure Done! Plum Garden Prayer Update

[Wenbare]

Easter holidays are almost over and between plans and everything, I finally got a bit of time today to continue my Plum Garden Prayer!

This morning I could only build for a little while because I was helping my husband assemble furniture for his office… so today I went big instead of miniatures

After lunch I managed to sit down again and make some progress. This time I worked on the outer structure, adding the walls and the central structure to the base. I also connected the lights, and as you can see, the cable is quite long so I had to tuck it neatly inside the battery box area. I really like the detail of the rock cover with a tiny hole to turn the lights on and off!

A little tip for these kits, since there’s quite a bit of gluing involved: make sure EVERYTHING is facing the right direction before gluing it down, because once it’s fixed with strong glue, it can be a disaster to try to remove it…

I used super glue with a brush applicator for cleaner finishes and only glued each piece once I was sure it was positioned correctly. Not before!

Finally, I added the roof and voilà… the main structure is done! And it’s soooo beautiful!!

For next time (hopefully tomorrow, even if I have lunch plans), I’d love to finish it. I still have some details left, the tree which looks a bit tricky, placing everything properly, and the snow details.

So far I’m really loving this kit, it’s absolutely beautiful

Hope you like this little update, and thanks for reading!

I wouldve loved this kit, unfortunatly to import it to the Uk its over £200

[Wenbare]

Thank you so much!! I think I might be able to finish it tomorrow if I get a bit of time, let’s see if I manage in the end. Photos aren’t my strong point, so I’m really glad you like them!!

[Wenbare]

Oh wooooooow, that’s a lot. It’s such a shame because it’s a really beautiful kit… hopefully it becomes easier to get at some point!

@Wenbare i look forward to your updates !

[Kim_Kieffer]

That is looking so good!

[Nita_Davis]

It’s so beauriful! I love the artwork on the walls and the little medallions around the paper walls near the roof. I am so glad you are enjoying your break.

[Alicesharpe]

I do hope so, maybe they will be brought over here

[Jason_Wong]

This is looking really nice! Look forward to your finished build! However, the cat looks a bit angry

Nice progress, it looks cute already! Good luck on the rest and enjoy lunch tomorrow

[Wenbare]

Thank you so much. I’ll share more updates soon if I can!

[Wenbare]

Thank you, Kim!! I’m really enjoying this one

[Wenbare]

Thank you so much, Nita. I love those little details too! And yes, I’m trying to enjoy the break as much as I can, but I feel like I’m not making the most of my time and the week is going by too fast. I go back on Tuesday and I’m already crying…

[Wenbare]

I’d love that too. But at the same time, there’s something special about them being exclusive as well!

[Wenbare]

Thank you!! Yes, a lot of people say Alvin looks like he has an angry face, but I don’t see it. He’s such a sweet little cat, really gentle. That’s why it’s hard for me to see him as angry

[Wenbare]

Thank you so much! It’s coming together nicely! And yes, I’ll enjoy lunch and then hopefully finish it tomorrow

[JDisaduck]

Twinnnnn it’s really looking so pretty! What a gorgeous set! I love it when the lights are on! I hope you get to build more tonight!

Alvin is best supervisor!

[Wenbare]

Thank yooooooooooooou, twinn

It’s really pretty with the lights on actually . It’s midnight sooooo tomorrow (well, now today…) I hope I can build more hahah

[Nita_Davis]

Oh no…That is not a very long break. I hope that Monday will be a very enjoyable day…a fun lunch date and a bit of time for crafting.
