Tiny castle

[Mark_1984]

I've just finished the Tiny Castle, which came from The Wood Engraver's site. (www.thewoodengraver.com)





It's tiny, but there's nothing to scale it by. Try a clothes peg.



but wait..... it's shrinking.......



and shrinking even more.........





OK - hands up who fell for the tiny clothes peg gag :p The lighter is normal sized

Cheers

That's a nice little build Mark!
Those little cones are a booger to get shaped and glued aren't they!:p

Job well done!
Oh, sorry, I didn't fall for it. I tried the same stunt last year!
Nice try though!

Nice build. I am about 90% complete with the disney experence sleeping beauty castle. I'll post some photos tomorrow.

And I thought that toy was designed tiny!
Great job Mark!

[Mark_1984]

Tiny is in the eye of the beholder :D

Thanks for making this available Phil, it's a lovely little model.

[Marc Niceyard]

yeah, this is a nice one.

What scale is it?

[Mark_1984]

Thanks. It's difficult to put a scale to it as it's a free lance model. The main door is about 4mm high. If you take a full size door to be 4m high (twice the size of a man ?) that makes it about 1/1000 ????

I think I'd be hard pressed to make it any smaller.

These tiny builds will never cease to amaze me!... excellent work Mark.

I meant to ask Phil when I first saw this model. How in blue blazes do you guys make such nice cones! Even my attempts at large versions end up looking hideous... What's the secret???

[Mark_1984]

Those cones are a bit tricky. I rolled them with the point of a tooth pick, and pinched the very tip quite tightly to get it to close up. I was pretty amazed that they come out so well.
