I felt I needed to put a 50p beside the armchair just to show you how small it is, I wish I could have also put all the blood, sweat and tears I shed to put it together………..
…… in what was a two and a half hour marathon! Just look at all the blinking stages and there was very little margin for error, as you are given the bare minimum of material, should you, pardon the expression, cock up!
I tried my best, it’s by no means perfect, but hopefully, if the whole thing is ever finished, amongst everything else all the squiggly digglely bits won't show up too much.
All the furniture is now completed, it was a bit disappointing to find the drawer front on the shelves above was split, so fixing it into position without snapping it completely was a little touch and go.
Now it’s time to put all the hundreds of tiny books and boxes together, these are just the first few. A lesson I quickly learned was to glue scraps of card inside to make the tops, bottoms and sides of the boxes a little sturdier.
As I did with the suitcase, even the tiny luggage labels and handle had to be cut separately and then glued on ………. happy days?
