Sideboard Update. Tiny problem with the levels - which I am fixing with tiny piece of veneer as packing. Not showing you a photo as my hope is it won’t show at all when I am finished. I have also made a veneer sandwich following @Maker_of_Things ‘s recipe. It is super strong and very flat. Pleased with this. Now to cut out the aperture for my mirrored cupboard so that the edges of the plywood don’t show when the door is opened. #No52 #minature #WoodWorking

A sandwich of 3 wood veneers with a rough rectangular shape cut out, resting on a gridded cutting mat. The wood shows natural grain patterns and has pencil lines showing how it might be trimmed. It lies on a well-used black and white cutting mat.

Bringing Life Back to a Massive Miniature of Hollywood's Heyday via Atlas Obscura [Shared]

In total, the diorama squeezes 450 scale buildings onto an accurate street grid measuring 11 feet by 12 feet. It was fashioned in the 1930s by Joe Pellkofer, a cabinetmaker, and his craftsmen, during periods when jobs were lean. This model once had five cousins that extended its boundaries, to include a model of the famous Brown Derby restaurant and the beach at Malibu, complete with crashing waves that moved with little steel rods. Pellkofer said that the models together cost $250,000 to build, and that a 25-person team labored over them for four years.

The image depicts a detailed model of a cityscape, likely part of an exhibition or display. The model includes a variety of buildings, ranging from low-rise structures to taller apartment buildings, with a mix of colors including white, orange, and blue. The buildings are arranged along streets, with some greenery interspersed among them, suggesting a realistic urban environment. The background features a painted mural of a mountainous landscape, adding depth to the scene. The setting appears to be indoors, with fluorescent lighting illuminating the model. The walls are adorned with framed pictures, and there is a sign on the right side, possibly providing information about the model. The overall composition is intricate, with a focus on the detailed architecture and layout of the city.

Tatsuya Tanaka Captures Everyday Life In A Calendar Of Miniature Objects And Tiny Figurines [Shared]

Tatsuya Tanaka is no stranger to miniature artmaking. He has long photographed and crafted miniature calendars of everyday scenes and created minuscule scenes using face masks and household items. His ongoing exhibitions named ‘MINIATURE LIFE’ at Ono Castle Hometown Museum, Fukuoka and Okinawa Prefectural Museum – both of which run until September 3rd, 2023 – testify to his decade-long commitment to finding and unfolding more creative ways to depict everyday life using miniature objects, tiny figurines, and yearly calendars visitors can own.

The image features a miniature scene with a pair of oversized black sunglasses as the central element. Inside the lenses, there are three pieces of meat: a steak, a sausage, and a grilled piece of meat. To the left of the sunglasses, a small figurine of a man wearing a white shirt, brown overalls, and a hat is holding a pair of tongs, seemingly grilling the meat. To the right of the sunglasses, a small dog figurine with a white and brown coat is standing and looking towards the man. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, and the overall composition is playful and whimsical. The text at the bottom reads "MINIATURE LIFE by Tatsuya Tanaka - August 13th, 2023 -".

There's one more model in this crew, iykyk. But I'm excited to play them, they have such a fun sounding rulesset 🙂

A model of a monkey holding a knife in its tail, more böurry minatures behind.

Four models all mostly in focus. Two goblins, a monkey and a parrot.

The colourscheme of these four models seem a bit oldtimey to me.

A skeleton type figure in rags, floating through the air, beating a drum.

Painted grey/black/green with red/gold as accent colours.

This is the most awesome thing that someone has done in honor of our store. Matt's sister and niece put together this amazing 'tiny bookstore' with Firefly Bookstore's logo! There are tiny portraits of the founders inside. So. Much. Cuteness.

With the aid of a 1896 magazine article and other resources, I tell the story of an August 1860 miniature painting of a then-presidential candidate named Abraham Lincoln.

In the late 1990s, I got a #GamesWorkshop brochure and immediately fell in love with the Bretonnian Sorceress #Warhammer (#oldhammer) #minature. I wanted it for a school assignment to "depict your creative spirit", but the shop only had the one on horseback so I used that.

I've been #minipainting on and off over the years, and this mini has stayed on the back of my mind. Thanks to a local seller, 23 years later, I finally own it.

I tidied and touched up their paint job with some light/shade.
