Hello dear readers,
With help from Elizabeth in finding the link, a video clip showing how to assemble the same as my kit, I find it very easy to sort out this Chinese puzzle. One of the best things in Blogland is having friends to help you. Thanks again Elizabeth.
I started assembling the pieces of furniture. Most of them, but two, were a piece of cake.
Had to change the tiny table's original leg. It was impossible to glue it to the top and bottom.
Luckily I found paint in my stash with a similar color. It's going to be covered with a tablecloth so the slight difference in colors won't be noticed.
Using wooden beads thread on a wooden toothpick and one big plastic bead, I was able to glue and stabilize the little table.
It is a 1/24" (Half size project). Not every item is this scale. On the left, you can see one of the chairs I make in 1/12" beside the cute chair which came with the kit.
Here are the two chairs from the kit, each a completely different scale.
There is one piece, yet to be finished, which simply doesn't want to stay fixed. I'll have to find a
stronger glue with a quicker grip than my usual tacky glue.
Tiny ornaments are no problem they only take time and patience.
There are many tricks and hints in the video. I recommend everyone, even those who don't have a kit to assemble, to watch it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKQzd9vQnIc)
A warm welcome to my new followers. Thank you for following.
Have a wonderful rest of the week with blessings.

So it's 1:24, is also fun to do, the chair and table looks nice

In these kits not all objects are always in scale.
ReplyDeleteThe "new" table is perfect and nice.
Have fun!
I am so happy that your challenge was easily solved by dear Elizabeth and that you are making quick work of such a fun little kit!

The little table looks great, love how you solved it. Tried a new glue for a project and ended up making such a mess , finding the right glue is important 😊. Blessings, Pam
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful. I'm terrible when it comes to scale, I usually just eye it.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy… already so much assembled. And even with a bit of Drora-touch on that reluctant table. I'm wishing you even more fun with this kit - and a happy ending for your glue "problems"! ;O)
