Sometimes you have to make things look worse before they get better

Sometimes you have to make things look worse before they get better, and in my case a LOT worse! LOL So you remember me showing you Neal and Sarah's home all set out with the furniture arranged..... all gone now!
 BUT I do now have (some walls and ceilings)
 This is the Children's Ward at the new hospital and is the ONLY diorama that's 'almost' finished.
 The bathroom in house 3 the workman have fitted the shell and suite but still need to do the tiling and lay the floor. Looks like someone has left a dirty towel on the floor?
 What I have learned so far... If your building rooms that go around corners... START IN THE CORNERS! Oh, and on the ground floor. Not so easy crawling around on the floor with such limited room , but a lot easier if you can get to the ground floor from the floor above!


 My builder put in a skirting board as I have an eight leg thing phobia (can't even say the word... or type it) So when it came to putting in the back wall I had to decide... large plinth around or wall to the floor? Decided on the wall to floor idea so I had to put something on the walls... don't ya just LOVE Polystyrene? So easy to use and FREE, this is packing that just happened to be the same depth as the skirting!
 
 This is another view of my Mall... this time through the window into the Children's Dept
 And on the ground floor looking in at the Food Court and the walkway
 The other side and the lift (elevator) plus the little shops
 A view looking down towards the Hospital at the end past houses 2 and 3
 The beginnings of a two story Night Club

Now someone asked the other day 'why no animals? Did I have animals?'.... Ahm, YEP one or two!






 Don't you just LOVE my flashing Bat! LOL


 It's HIM again trying to work out who shrank the cat bed?





 They are all packed away in this box which is why you won't have seen them. Apart from my horse (to big) and the Goldfish (in Neal and Sarah's living room)

Simple Wardrobes And Storage

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
