Okey dokey! Three things I’m learning from the first steps of my first ever Miniature House kit:
- I urgently need a box or something to keep the little furniture I build safe since it’s taking some space to store it (and I prefer to use the kit box to keep there the parts and tolls I’m yet to use)
- This kind of kit uses A LOT of double-sided tape! Which is not bad, but it’s kind of fun how I’m taking another slice of tape every two steps
- I understand now why some people here take a lot of time with these kits, specially when it comes to crafting the tiny furniture. The parts are fragil, you need to be careful, etc, etc. It gives me a new perspective!
So yeah, this time I’ve only crafted three windows (at least that’s how the manual calls them, but I’d go for shutters), a door and an old-fashion bicycle. But hey, they take their generous amount of time! I like and want everything to look nice and smooth, after all.
Windows/shutters were first, obviously. I found it interesting how so many details in this kit, like the framed menus, instead of coming in the shape of stickers like I’m more used to see, they’re pieces of paper you stick wherever you have to with my dear and already famous friend the double-sided tape.
Same thing goes for the door and its stuck details on the window.
Speaking of this door @Robotime, the window for this one (as well as some mirrors in other kits, and in general a lot of transparent-ish pieces in many) comes with a protective film that you have to remove before adding it to whatever you’re supposed to add it to. Could it be possible in future kits (or even future badges of existing ones) to add some kind of easy-removable corner or lash or something? At least something that tells you “Hey, listen! The protective film is HERE, on THIS side. You can use THIS corner/bit/X to easily remove it”. Some of us don’t usually keep our nails long at all and it’s an actual challenge to first find which side is film-protected and second remove said film 
Anyway, the doors looks nice and fun!
And lastly for now, the bicycle.
This one was pretty easy, fast and straightforward, just two wooden parts coming and fitting together pretty easily.
It’s entertaining to say the least, and pretty different to what I’m used to from the wooden puzzles, to craft many separate things and keep them apart until you’re supposed to start putting the whole thing together! I’m liking and enjoying the challenge of a different experience, what can I say.
Spoiler alert: the wine cabinet comes tomorrow! I can feel a lot of stickers on my fingers before going on their respective tiny cute little bottles.
See you/read you around, folks!
I’m gonna be using the mirror now for another piece of furniture so I’ll check it out.
