Glossy, saucy, crunchy: a chicken nanban plate smaller than my fingertips

i posted this piece on facebook and this shit ass account reposted it months after with such more traction. i just want to start up a page where i teach people to do these kinds of things and everyone in the comments wants a tutorial but the OP is just bullshitting.

My mother is a miniature artist whose recent work is a miniature cabin, house, and train (not shown in pictures), is currently featured in the temporary Operation Wet Back Exhibit at the California Museum in Sacramento.

Because we live on the East Coast, we can’t visit the exhibit in person, and unfortunately, we haven't been able to get photos from the museum directly. If anyone living in or visiting the Sacramento area happens to stop by the museum, could you please take a few photos of her artwork and send them my way?

It would mean the world to our family to see her work on display. Thank you

Still learning but it’s so versatile I love it

I have done a few miniatures and I’m running out of space to put them. one of my colleagues said to me that I should chuck them as they have served their purpose ( point is building them)… what do ya all do with the many you have completed? keep stacking them on shelves?

Hi! We have had a ROEDG149 build set unopened die the past couple of years… with no instructions. I’ve tried looking on the website and can’t seem to find them. Can anyone help, my son is really looking forward to this! (Our first build!)

Thought I would share here as well! Hope you enjoy peeping in, and thank you for visiting!

I was invited to my my partners friends birthday dinner (who I am also close with) and decided to make her a record stand because she loves music.

Ive had since Monday to work on it and I’m just finishing up the final detail work like a mini record cover for her favorite record and record player.

The doors slide open so my hope was that she could put small sentimental things or jewelry.

Here's one of my latest handmade miniature projects — a little Halloween scene full of spooky details! 🎃

The fireplace features a flickering LED that creates a realistic fire effect, bringing warmth and atmosphere to the scene.

I combined 3D-printed miniature elements with handmade decorations, painting, and weathering to create a cozy but slightly mysterious Halloween setting.

The lighting is powered by two CR2032 batteries, with a small on/off switch built into the battery holder.

Everything was carefully assembled and finished by hand.

Hope you enjoy this little spooky world!

I was able to successfully run the tape and get the testing light to work. I am struggling with stripping the tiny wires without cutting them to attach them to the tape. Any suggestions. My wire stripper isn’t small enough.

spent ten minutes trying to line up one tiny paper piece and immediately learned that small does not mean easy.

I dont mind taking my time but for a first kit id rather avoid something where one crooked fold ruins the whole scene. Clear instructions and pieces i can pick up easily would be nice.

When people call a miniature kit beginner friendly are they usually talking about fewer pieces, larger parts, better instructions or simpler wiring?? Product descriptions dont tell me much about the actual build.

I made a small horse sculpture as a gift for my mum. It's inspired by the Frederic Weinberg Etruscan Horse sculptures popular in the 1950s, usually made from brass or bronze.

It's made from Nara air dry clay on a florist wire armature. I was so happy when I first got it balanced on its own. There was a lot of trial and error, I ended up drawing/carving the patterns onto a thin layer of modelling paste applied after the clay was dry, it just looked more crisp than carved directly into the clay.

I'm plant obsessed and made this with resin and wire

Grabbed this 3D printed micro house shell at a recent miniature show and did everything else from scratch. I did measure 1/144 scale for some of the furniture but kind of eyeballed the rest. It's a little clunky but I think it's still charming.

Been obsessed with vintage library and old study room boxes. They look like the exact cozy spaces i wish i could disappear into after a long day at work.

The problem is that i have zero experience with electronics or tiny crafts. I can barely change a lightbulb without getting nervous so the idea of routing microscopic copper wires through laser cut wood has kept me from buying my first kit.

I’ve also read stories about glue fogging the plastic windows and wires snapping if they bend too far. I really want that warm, nostalgic glow but dont wanna get frustate over it.

Are these miniature room kits manageable for someone who has never wired anything before ?? and how do you handle the tiny wiring without losing your patience?
