Waiting for Dorota to come back to send me a coffe machine, trying to decide what the kind of dining table and chairs and a few other things in the lounge.<br />
<br />
Easy.... the right idea will come in good time. And then I will show the pix..<br />

So, now to the upper floor in this apartment:<br />
<br />
The slanted roof on two sides (it is a corner house) were tricky because I wanted to fit window-doors in there as well. Loved to figure this out :-)<br />

When it came to hide the window trimming inside, I decided to laser arched in very thin wood. That works if all the arches are the same ... haha.<br />
<br />
I was so lucky that I did this some 14 days ago before the fablab closed because of corona!<br />
<br />
Now I am stuck with the drawings for the wrought iron balustrades: can't 3d print them unless I order in the Netherlands. Not that I need them right now but I would love to see if they work out...<br />

Shower? Bathtub? both? and (typically French) bidet as well??<br />
Decided on combo bath/shower because I needed walk-through space for the dressing room in the back of the bathroom.<br />

<li>Glue the nanos to each side of the perspex rod. If you want the light to be seen I suggest to sand the perspex to make it matte. </li>
<li>First I made the 'cabinet' with the foamboard. Then I painted the back area of the lights in silver and cut small openings for the wires to go to the back. I made a hole in the back of the foamboard to stash away the resistors from the 4 lights.</li>
<li>Then I cut plastic casings (used semi transparent stationary presentation cover).</li>
<li>Attached all this with double sided sticky tape to the sides of the cabinet.</li>
<li>Then glue the mirror to the cabinet, try to sandwich the inside light casing between the mirror the light rod.</li>
<li>And cover-up of where the lights are glued onto the rod by bending metal sheet strips.</li>

Walls: I decided not to paint but rather use a nice color paper.<br />
<br />
Windows: we recently got a fablab (public space with laser cutters, 3d printers, felt-press, etc.) in our town. So, I decided to laser the windows with cardstock. But first I had to learn the software (Inkscape) and get to know how the laser works. This took a while but it was fun because I got to know new people and techniques. Learning something new is sooo important!<br />

But only two of the windows on this floor open - didn't want to stress myself too much ;-)<br />
I am so please with the hardware from my shop at Shapeways... it looks perfect.<br />

Panels for the walls: cardstock, combination of laser and hand-cut. But I had to order the quarter-round dowels for the top from the U.K. - and of course all these other wall trimmings.<br />
<br />
Entrance and staircase: space is a little cramped there and I really had to figure our which step to take first. I wanted to use the space under the staircase and recessed part of the kitchen into it.<br />

While the apartment is old, the furnishing and interior decorating will be contemporary. Shabby chic or antique is just not my style. So, I saw this sofa 'Major Tom' in Dezeen and made a replica. It turned out beautiful but I think it is a little too big for this room - might have to make a different one.<br />

Uff, it took me a while to finish this. But motivation is not the same every day ;-)<br />
<br />
Well it is done now and I have made two videos over the past three weeks.<br />
It is incredible how long it takes to make an interesting short film!!!<br />
<br />
The cutting an assembling for both videos was done in about 12 hours.<br />
But selecting the right pix, fixing the exposure, etc.<br />
And finding the right tools to make a clip that was steady and had the right focus.<br />
Very time-consuming and sometimes frustrating... you think you have it all just to see that something has fallen down, or the windows have too much glare from the outside, etc.<br />
<br />
DONE!!!<br />
<br />
Here the house:<br />

I knew that this smelled like trouble!!!<br />
<br />
The plan:<br />
fitting arched windows into a brick wall. Obviously, the window frame is brick as well.<br />
Simple, right?<br />

The reality:<br />
even though I got the perfectly lasered windows from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MitchyMooMiniatures" target="_blank">Pepper</a> already months ago, I ignored them and did other things. Until now. I knew perfectly well that this would be a difficult part of the build because I have seen friends who seem to have abandoned their project when they could not get it right 😉<br />
<br />
So, here a step-by-step description - just in case someone else wants to have a go at this... haha.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I cut the opening into the 2cm foambard as accurately as I could.. ha</li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I decided that I wanted brick window sills on the outside</li>
<li>I sprayed the windows</li>
<li>I glued a 2cm cardboard strip around and fit them into the openings</li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I polyfilled the gaps around the window frames - and realized that the brick stencil was smaller than actual arch... my design mistake ... grrr...</li>
<li>I covered the windows to protect them from the brick plastering, hoping that I won't rip off the plastering when I remove the masking tape..</li>
<li><b>I was fed up and distracted myself, went to Zürich and bought an iphone11pro - the camera with the 3 lenses is out of this world!!!</b></li>
<li>I plastered the outside wall and around the corners right to the window itself. Fiddly stuff. Used Bromley's <a href="https://www.craft-products.com/bda-brick-arch-stencil" target="_blank">stencils</a> and <a href="https://www.craft-products.com/realistic-brick-compound.php" target="_blank">brick compound</a>. And I used the weights so that this would not warp!!!</li>

<li>I colored the bricks with water color to make them look real, applied two coats of matte acryl varnish to seal the bricks, waited... Grouted. The grouting process is delicate because most of it needs to come off the bricks again: if done when not dry enough it will attack the varnish, if done when too dry it does not come off. And as always: weights to prevent warping...</li>

I personally would not even consider leather as an option because I always slide around on this material. But all my male friends are totally set on leather couches....<br />

The reading spot that clamps onto the iron pole needed a bit of creativity. I found the shade in a model building shop for ship models. After spending some one hour in there I found these metal parts, hoping that I could use them for the clamp..<br />

Going to the 1:12 Fair in Rheda, Germany, and seeing my mini friends has inspired me again!<br />
So, I finally completed the kitchen in my loft.<br />

I found these handles in a shop for model airplanes.<br />

My new-old home is now pretty much how I wanted it. Except for a custom made hallway console table. I scouted without being successful. So, I designed my own fit-to-measure. First a mini model...<br />

Not terribly active on the mini side at this moment. I had to catch up at the business front and now that the inside of my house is done, the garden is next!<br />

Building can be painless with the right workmen: mine were tremendous, they worked hand-in-hand with each other. They were done in 9 weeks with all the new floors, walls, false ceilings, electrical wiring, new bathrooms, custom made kitchen, plumbing and all. I was afraid that all this indirect LED lighting would not be homely - but, boy, the technology today is just fantastic!</div>

Moved in mid December again - love the wood and bright-airy look. My mini models certainly inspired me to design this concept. And - cleaning out loads of stuff was such a relief! </div>

<b>Mini Group in Switzerland</b></h2>
<div>
And then, I met a great mini group here in Switzerland at the Fair in Rheda in spring. They meet regularly, mainly in the Basel region. But this time, we met at my place and had a fun evening making toothbrushes.<br />
<div>
We tried out many materials, mainly cocktail sticks. And I told them the story of Pepper losing her clear toothbrush handle on the floor ... spending hours to find it again!</div>
<div>
Guess what????? Carmen dropped hers as well - but even on my parquet floor we never found the (one and only) she made 😉😉 !!! She went home empty handed... 😒😒</div>

<b><span style="color: red;">But now my mini activity will come to a stand-still for a while!</span></b></h2>
I have decided to re-do my entire ground-floor apartment in real life: kitchen, walls, bathroom, floor - the works.<br />
<br />
Funny, how one can plan and re-design for others - but my own home....<br />
So, I hired an architect friend with a really creative mind and he came up with a plan that totally convinces me. And since I am the only person living here I can decide about everything :-)<br />
<br />
It will change from this....<br />

If I thought that the steps were a challenge I was a little blue-eyed...<br />
The handrails were just as difficult!<br />

I worked with polystyrol profiles again because it is easier to glue the same two materials together. For a minute, I thought about using wood but quickly dropped that idea.<br />
I wanted to have them all glued and completed before I spray-painted - so that I could fix them to the landing and it was all done. The plan was a good one... but then once in it still needed adjustments and tiny spacers.<br />
Well, it is done now and I am mighty proud of it!!<br />

The rear wall warped a little - so, I got some picture rails (the metal ones that are fastened to the top of the walls) and glued them with epoxy to the back. It did the trick...<br />

I spent last weekend in Paris with a friend and we scouted mini shops as well. The best one was <a href="http://joujoux.com/index.php?route=common/home" target="_blank">La Boîte au Joujoux</a> where I found the bike for this scene. They have the 'regular' dollhouse stuff but the odd 'fine scale' goods as well.<br />

But before putting the roof on, I have to complete the inside because I need easy access. So, I guess next will be a stainless-steel kitchen to fit the style...<br />

So, I now got really started with it. Having limited space for additional full houses (or in this case a locomotive shed..) I decided to make a room- or wall-box.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6JCE9dKdg4U1tyB4htRxasNnlnfq3XxMFFT9GiH3-yqezggu81ovCInzuUa6cdxkFEX1Y35zFsSeH95G_plbgTa6QREs5EiKTmEcLPR3YesgIk2g2kjMNaCcXYucemx1M4PUpKOM4Gw/s1600/IMG_1619.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6JCE9dKdg4U1tyB4htRxasNnlnfq3XxMFFT9GiH3-yqezggu81ovCInzuUa6cdxkFEX1Y35zFsSeH95G_plbgTa6QREs5EiKTmEcLPR3YesgIk2g2kjMNaCcXYucemx1M4PUpKOM4Gw/s640/IMG_1619.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The support under the landing is only temporary...</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
For the <b>brick walls</b> I used the products from <a href="https://www.craft-products.com/dolls-house-exterior.php" target="_blank">Bromley</a>. Real bricks would have been fun - but the model would have become too heavy for wall-mounting. As a base I used Kappa Foamboard. The trick was to work on both sides simultanously so avoid warping. And using lots of weights to keepy them wall flat.<br />

<br />
The experience from the stone walls of the Provence house taught me....<br />
1. 'Making' bricks with the stencil on the foamboard<br />
2. coloring the brick with a tiny sponge and water color in various shades<br />
3. a coat of matte varnish<br />
4. another coat of matte varnish<br />
5. smearing the mortar - and wiping most of it off again!<br />
<br />
The <b>stairs</b> were another issue! There just seems to be no easy way out...<br />
- First I tried this method because it looked convincing and easy - but it used up too much of the floor space.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
- Then I made a styrene model - but decided that the upper floor was too large. Missed the loft look with the very high room!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rSRUTdIucrUUWm71H12-dHnVMIwh2W-8qWblvRxsmbJEY8Ix_kOdXVaJqY-hIO8NHOTGS-sXTlXjZvdzUJY22mpY4-NxW3-EweqzCp_EGj6qJH4wX4PsGiUStHbznn8NXyfjdY6Tnog/s1600/IMG_1171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rSRUTdIucrUUWm71H12-dHnVMIwh2W-8qWblvRxsmbJEY8Ix_kOdXVaJqY-hIO8NHOTGS-sXTlXjZvdzUJY22mpY4-NxW3-EweqzCp_EGj6qJH4wX4PsGiUStHbznn8NXyfjdY6Tnog/s400/IMG_1171.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
- Finally, I decided to make them 'floating' and used <a href="https://evergreenscalemodels.com/collections/plain-opaque-white-polystrene-sheets" target="_blank">2mm polystyrene</a>, cutting extremely accurate pieces.<br />
This meant to make a cardboard model first. But by now I knew how high and wide the steps had to be...<br />

It is a little less detailed (only visible for model builders :-) without working lights. But most likely it fits her more traditional view of an old farmhouse room better; checkered curtains and all. Actually, I am convinced that she will love this.<br />

The chest for my room box still needs painting - but that is in the making...<br />
<br />
***************************<br />
<br />
Since I am running out of table space for more houses I decided to do a model that can be hung on a wall - something like a large room box.<br />
<br />
It will be part of an old locomotive shed with brick walls, metal structures and all. I was inspired on my train trip to the Mini Fair in Milan a couple of months ago - loads of derelict sheds next to the railway lines.<br />
Inside I plan a modern loft living situation.<br />
Working with different materials will be super learning curve again... something I really enjoy.<br />
<br />
The dry fit is done! It was wonderful working outside in the garden again - especially with that Cornus tree blooming and smelling wonderful!<br />

I am busy with designing the stairs and hope that it works out. At the show in Rheda (Germany) last week I decided against using the ready made metal cirular stairs - the were too 'lovely' for an industrial loft like this one.<br />
<br />
****************************************<br />
<br />
Spending the weekend with my friends <a href="https://www.elsnervongronow.de/en/" target="_blank">Elisabeth Elsner von Gronow</a>, <a href="http://www.spminiatures.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=9" target="_blank">Alexandra Cantatore</a> from Milan, <a href="http://www.maler-jo.de/Webseite/MeineSeite1/startseite.html" target="_blank">Joachim Kühner </a>(porcelain painting), <a href="https://www.facebook.com/stephan.wein.14/about?lst=555014269%3A100000606167112%3A1527664811" target="_blank">Stephan Wein</a> (goldsmith) with dog Trudi and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marion.kroller" target="_blank">Marion Kröller</a> was a joy! I had a little display of my 3D stuff at Elisabeth's stand.<br />
<br />
And I bought loads of hardware, special wood strips, kitchen applicances from <a href="http://minifanaberia.com/" target="_blank">Minifanaberia</a> and glass from <a href="http://www.raystoreylighting.com/" target="_blank">Ray Storey</a>, a sterling silver horse from Stefan Wein and I will try this led strip from <a href="mailto:johnkilner@no1elitedesigns.co.uk" target="_blank">John Kilner</a> for indirect lighting.<br />

The curtains are done as well. These tablecloth weights come in very handy: I first sew the top to fit in a rod and then soak the cloth with water/white glue mixture and let it dry with the weights to get natural pleats. I first tried with the pleater but it looked much too formal for this room...<br />

There is something I meant to ask you, my mini friends: How do you handle all the various media? Facebook, Instagram, Blog?<br />
<br />
<div>
The basic question is, of course, why are we publishing things?</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>In the first place, everybody needs a bit of recognition.</li>
<li>2ndly, one can share experiences and be inspired by others.</li>
<li>And then there is the interaction with others because building minis is not exactly someting you do in a team... 😏</li>
</ul>
</div>
I thought I will make life easier and cancel one of these channels, but it seems that<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Miniature groups and personal friends can only be reached via FB... </li>
<li>Instagram is a 'must' because many people changed from FB to this</li>
<li>And a blog is the place where one can get a bit more detailed than just showing pix</li>

My room box is coming along. </div>
<div>
The ceramic oven was trial and error process. After talking to <a href="https://www.tiny-ceramics.com/" target="_blank">Tiny Ceramics,</a> I realized that they did not have corner pieces, only flat tiles. I then made a model with paper covering. It looked nice - but definitely not real enough.</div>

So, I turned to foamed PVC - not quite sure how I could get the glazed look though.</div>

In the end, it was simple: I spray painted it with acrylic, then dry brushed the gaps with brown acrylic and allowed a 'used' look by not cleaning it all off the tiles, and finished it with clear gloss.</div>

The slanted legs would be an issue - I knew that! So, I had my son do a bit of a cheat and he designed the bottom part so that I could 3d print them ;-). Now I just have to finish the paint job - but I first want to make the table as well.</div>

You might have noticed that I had a few new things designed in 3D. Reason for this was not really that I needed them but my son stayed with me for two weeks after his knee operation and was terribly bored and sorry for himself! I grabbed this situation and made him do CAD work for board/lodging, coffee service and the occasional warm meal 😀😀😀 But I think he quite enjoyed it as well, especially designing the beer crate...</div>

I seem to be doing projects that are a little different from my contemporary style ;-)<br />
But I seem to have friends who are fond of different styles than me. And this box is for Anja in Greyton, Cape Region South Africa.<br />
<br />
She lives on the country side in a small village and is into spinning and weaving since a long time. When I visited her a couple of months back, she gave me some of her finer weaves and asked me to do a room box with a spinning wheel for her.<br />
<br />
So, this is the progress I have made so far, using poplar plywood 6mm for the box.<br />

Long time no blogging - but I was in Cape Town for a month. The water shortage was not so much of an issue - but when I moved on to Durban for another week I really appreciated the long and hot shower !<br />
<br />
You probably wonder why I make a Biedermeier room box - totally different from anything I ever made.<br />
My non-mini friend Maya sent me this foto of what she found in her closet and asked me whether I has use for it. Never... but then I know that she loves this interior style and dollhouse stuff. So, this room box will be a surprise for her - good thing she does not read my blog 😉<br />

<br /><b>By the way...</b></h2>
<br />
My space situation became just a 'little' cramped and I was considering putting at least one house in a storage room. Before doing that, I advertised on a Swiss platform and attracted a young couple living two villages away from my place! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZyjRdJyn2k&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">'Glenwood' </a> house moved on - and this without having to wrap everything because we simply could load it into their van! They really appreciated the work: the mini scene is not unknown to them because their great-aunt is the famous Heidi Ott!!<br />
<br />
So, knowing that it would be cherished and in good hands I did not feel sorry at all to let it go...<br />

<b>Background:</b><br />
This was always meant to be a winter house and the snow around here came just at the right time (gone again since yesterday)! For the photo shooting I wanted some of the pix to be done outside, whilst others I did in the warm inside using a poster backdrop I photographed and had printed.<br />

<b>Equipment:</b><br />
All my pictures and videos are taken with the iphone6. Most shots and definitely all videos are taken holding the phone <span style="color: red;">horizontally</span>! Nothing worse than having black voids left/right of the video picture.<br />

- For hard-to-get-to places I use a <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B073GHV3KR/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item" target="_blank">360° blue-tooth <b>selfie stick</b></a>. The 360° the vital feature because I really want the phone to swivel the way I need it.<br />
- The<b> tripod</b> ensures really sharp takes.<br />
- For the <b>videos</b> I need to be in a non-cramped position and have a steady hand. A video stabilizer like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaJTpZAVG0M" target="_blank">DJI Osmo</a> would come in handy for those who are prepared to spend money.<br />

<b>Taking photos:</b></div>
<div>
Avoiding <b>glare and mirror effect </b>in the large windows of the model, is always the biggest problem. That's why I sometimes close all shutters and work with borrowed photographer lamps. Not my favorite - I prefer natural daylight. But then again, it should not be too bright..</div>
Photo shooting is a lengthy process because I try different <b>light situations </b>in a south/east facing room (am, pm, artificial...) to be able to select the best.<br />

<br />
<b>Select and enhance shots:</b><br />
Because I am not all that good (yet..) with Adobe Photoshop Elements, I perfer to use the Mac Photo program to enhance - where necessary.<br />
But before I get to that I have to select!!! I first sort them all into room categories. And then mark those worthwhile looking at again. So it goes... until I am down to a good dozen shots per room.<br />
<br />
Then the critical eye becomes extremely critial:<br />
- Everything straight? No? Grr... need to re-take the shot<br />
- Specks on the floor? Easy - use the little fix-it plaster in Mac Photos<br />
- Is the background realistic? No? Grr... need to re-take the shot<br />
- Is there glare? ... off into the delete baskets and take a new shot<br />
- is the focus where I want it do be? Adobe Elements can help a bit ...<br />
- And it is bright enough? Up to a certain extent, Mac Photos can take care of that...<br />
<br />
<b><u>Assembling the video from photos and video takes:</u></b><br />
I do this with iMovie on my Mac. I use this since many years and the best tutorials I found are Gary's <a href="https://macmost.com/video-list" target="_blank">Macmost</a> website.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDRXcWsRUPF49Rp63KOO_eawBeg0uuAW5GY6xTgKandg-ObdhMHtApg1aalEuPd__z50V5cqdqYcFMjhvHcwtsttD2Axbm45rrl0Imbw85a29kpEVA7z6Oq64r-4mpgjEEoPGau4sdaw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2017-12-16+at+17.40.01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1046" data-original-width="1600" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuDRXcWsRUPF49Rp63KOO_eawBeg0uuAW5GY6xTgKandg-ObdhMHtApg1aalEuPd__z50V5cqdqYcFMjhvHcwtsttD2Axbm45rrl0Imbw85a29kpEVA7z6Oq64r-4mpgjEEoPGau4sdaw/s400/Screen+Shot+2017-12-16+at+17.40.01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I use various features of the program, such a stabilizing the video take, adjusting length of take, adjusting exposure, etc.<br />
The photos I use (only horizontal takes!) become alive by using Ken Burns. It allows to put the focus to where is should be. iMovie does this automatically - but my choice is often different ;-)<br />
<br />
So, this is how I finalize a model. Thought you might be interested in this.<br />
<br />
My next blog will give you the links to the videos of this house.<br />
