Some of you may remember the two castles I made a few months ago. I liked them so much I bought another of their kits, not a building this time!

For those who have not seen these before, there is a series of small kits laser cut in various coloured card all about 3 1/2 inches square. The cutting is the finest I've seen in a card kit. some of the detail is almost invisible.

For the first round of pictures I have chosen close ups of some of the parts, followed by the completed model. It sits in a display "case" that comes with the kit, like the pages the box is 3 1/2 x 3 1/2.

Part 2

Here are the pictures of the finished model.

I made a few changes to the original. The carpet should be glued to the floor so the design shows through in white - I added a sheet of dark red to the "floor" then glued down the carpet. As yo will see from the above pictures the flower is folded in half but before I glued the halves together, I added a few drops of paint to the backing card, so, instead of a basically black picture the flower is red and green.

Apologies for the violin picture, my camera couldn't cope with its size - about 1/2 inch.

Needles to say, I've ordered a few more, although not those that cost over £100.!!!!

Cheers

Bravo, Mike. The vignette even includes some of my favorite books. But why are some of the book backs blank? And who makes these kits?

Rick,

Thanks for that - I didn't realise they had been going that long!

There are now quite a few more kits available, although, as I mentioned above some are over £100. I have no idea why - possibly something to do with mixed up exchange rates?

Cheers

Sorry Phil, I forgot to answer your question...... I have no answer! It seemed odd to me as well.

Perhaps they should have included a page of "rub down" letters in gold to make up your own titles;-)

Thanks for sharing this build, the details are just fantastic. The only time cats and papercraft mix well. ;)
