Hi all, with all the festive jobs and planning I haven’t had much chance to start a new kit. I thought I would share my biggest kit makeover. I was so proud of creating this and it’s still one of my favourites. I don’t always makeover kits, sometimes it is more enjoyable to be able to just create as is.
I included some of the build pics where I was modelling what would look right. I did end up with a saw and one point changing the front
It’s always a bit of a process lol
Wow, fantastic! I do not think I will ever be this creative and have this kind of vision. Just fabulous!!
Wow! That is impressive! Doesn’t look like the original thing at all! You did an awesome job! I wish I had the imagination to do custom stuff, but I just can’t! I’m too OCD about following instructions! ![]()

Aww no @jeanneL if you can make these kits you are definitely creative enough. I find I don’t have a picture in my head at the start it just evolves. If I don’t like something I look at changing it and it goes from there. I tend to take 20x longer than most to finish a kit ![]()
Aww thanks @Atropex, ha ha no it doesn’t look the same!
I’m sure you would be able to but sometimes it’s just more relaxing to do the kit as is. I just change a bit at a time and before I know it it’s had a makeover lol.
This one took a while and my mind runs non stop until I’ve finished it lol
Omg this is gorgeous! The colour scheme is beautiful and so grand! You’ve even added walls! I can’t even with the pastries omg they look so real I am hungry! ![]()
I honestly wish I have the ability to do what you just did so thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece.

Damn it I’m out of likes. I shall return but I would give you twice the amount of likes if I could! ![]()
@Jo_Zanella NO WAY!!! That’s literally a very decent makeover; it looks like it’s by the hand of a professional artist ![]()
Your work is very creative.
Very minimalist colors I’m loving it. I love how you customize your builds.
This is a beautiful custom build. The photo from above is very realistic.
This is a beautiful custom build. so amazing
Aww that’s so beautiful thank you @JDisaduck, that made my day ![]()
If there is anything you want to know how to do just message me I’m happy to share. A lot of it isn’t hard it’s just about knowing the technique.
lol thank you so much @Robotime that’s lovely. I loved how this turned out.
I had to take my hat off to your designers of the dream gift factory, they were geniuses!
Aww thanks @serenebliss_23, I love that colour scheme and style too ![]()
Thank you so much @ThaoNguyen and @SunnyCee that’s so kind ![]()
You’re welcome.
Hoping to see more creations from you. I’m just wondering. Are you an archi or designer?
I definitely will!
Thank you so much! Honestly if you make a video I would watch it hahaha I love watching YouTube videos about miniatures and dioramas. Fascinating stuff!
Aww thank you @serenebliss_23, I’m hoping to do a bit more in the new year.
I did do about half of a graphic design diploma but I had my kids and didn’t get back to it. I’ve always been a PA/Secretary by trade. My last job in printing I got to do some package design.
I’ve always been creative, but miniatures really just stuck. I love creating mini things x
I’m glad, I’m happy to help as I’ve learnt from others too ![]()
lol I think I’m too slow in making to do a video ![]()
Looking forward to your designs.
I see but you still have your passion even years go by. I admire you for that.
Keep doing what you love. ![]()
Thank you @serenebliss_23 that is too kind. Looking forward to seeing more of your work too
