So, what I am finally getting around to is working on building that scale apartment for Gillian that I've been wanting to do. Whilst I originally wanted a very grand styled loft apartment, I did have to succumb to realism and make something that could be broken down rather than a static 5 foot by 3 foot piece. So for now I have the bedroom under construction.
The bedroom will be 20L x 24W x 16H. So I cut down my 20 x 30 foamboard sheets making two 20 x 16 pieces and two 24 x 16 pieces, saving all the scraps for later of course.
I have foamboard clips as well as T Pins that will be used to hold the pieces together.
Old simple bed made from a bamboo tray used to give an idea of size.
My next update will have more pics of some of the other things that have gone into the construction since, such as picture frames that I found for great window frames, and of course adding in the trim and faux doors.
Also on a side note, here are some pics of other neat things I found while I was picking up supplies for the apartment project.
I guess with the popularity of KIDROBOT's "MUNNY" DIY Rotocast figures, other companies have caught on and started making them as well. These are two Halloween themed vinyl DIY figures I picked up for 2 bucks each at Michaels craft stores. I figured they would be something neat to work on.
And this is a plastic DIY Christmas ornament I found at Michaels as well, This I plan to cut up and try and make a retro style sci fi globe helmet for my retro space babe version of Gillian.
More updates soon! Thanks for following!
