I really loved how this one came together. I don’t like to spend too much time looking at the box because I like to imagine how the early elements I build will come together towards the end. when the walls go up things finally start to make sense. My family was very excited when I finished this, and they said they loved it! my cousin who is into book books said she was inspired to build one she has at home.
I think my favorite detail is the floating cherry blossoms. who else has built this one? what is your favorite detail?
forgot to mention, I got the original “glass plating” for the tram COVERED in glue by accident, so I had to improvise with some cut up scraps. this is why I keep every little thing, so that I always have a plan B!
I have not built this one…but you did a great job. I always save the cellophane/plastic envelopes that some of the paper parts come in for ‘glass’ windows. It has come in handy for me several times.
I love that approach! There’s something so satisfying about watching the build slowly reveal itself as the walls go up. And the floating cherry blossoms are such a beautiful detail! I can definitely see why they’re your favorite. How sweet that your cousin was inspired to start her own too!
We love your approach of letting the build slowly reveal itself, the moment the walls go up and everything comes together is always so magical. The floating cherry blossoms are definitely one of the most charming details!
