Front shop....I would love to make it at 1/12th scale

Isn´t it fabulous!!!! this is the front of a shop in the Oporto town (the second bigger town in Portugal). The words in the façade mean "tea" in the left and "coffee" in the other side. In the center the name of the shop "the Pearl of Bolhão", being Bolhão a place in the city...I am really in love with this shop.

Finally!!!! only the garden to make....

make-over and new-look for the bedroom....

I have two of these white metal beds which I bought quite cheap, with the idea of painting them. Because my friend didn´t like the woooden bed that came with the collection (see my last posts), I remembered that I had these beds and I decided to make an experience and here it is the result. I painted the bed with these paintings from Vallejo, there are lots of possibilites in terms of metal finishing, I choose tin for the bed and brass for the top of the bedposts.
They can be used directly in plastic, metal and wood and are in gold, gold, silver, copper, copper, brass, bronze, tin, etc and they are sold in the model shops to paint those figures in plastic or plomb for the dioramas. I hope you like the result...as much as I do.

something different!

A beautiful Portuguese house façade with our typical blue/white tiles, in the city of Aveiro.

This is a fantastic photo of a front shop in a beautiful town in the north of Portugal, Guimarães. It will be nice to make it in miniature.............

Yes, new pics!!! but not already finished....

I put everything in the kitchen table and I made some experiences with the exterior arrangements, to see how it looks. As you can see the house it is almost finished, just the roof, but it takes a long time to glue all those tiles and also to make a nice finishing in the front to hide the open side of the tiles in the façade. Ah! and still finishing the ceilings of the first floor, but that will be only in the end.

work in progress, almost finished......

In the ground floor everything is finished and in the first floor only the ceiling lights are missing, since the roof is not already finished....

I don´t like the hinges that are used to fixe the front of the house, so I use some magnets.
