Did some test lighting today.
In the cellar of my castle tower dollhouse.
Temporary setup: testing the cellar for the first time in its future place.
This is the atmosphere I'm looking for. Perfect!
(Often when making miniatures I skip the lighting, because designing and installing is boring ánd difficult. For this dollhouse I set myself a goal: this castle is going to live in my livingroom permanently; therefore lights are very important. Goal: I'm going to make the castle tower into een light object).
Today seeing the stone steps for the first time in place makes me so happy, I love it!!
I crafted this dollhouse in 3 main components, for practical reasons only, otherwise the whole thing would be to heavy to work on or to move. The base is like the mountain on which the castle tower is built. I made this with sturdy wood and bricks.
The second part: the armoury and great hall. And the third part: the top floor plus battlements and roof.
Made some faux moss and greenery. This is one of my favourites, love creating faux greenery. I'm happy I was allowed to do a small part today; the rest of the moss and plants and trees? will be installed later in the process, because they're to delicate.
This was a very productive day, the next thing I did was drilling some holes in my dollhouse. Very scary. Also very necessary for installing the LED strips.
These holes will light the smithy in the armoury; designed later in the build. I'll have to do some repairs to the with paperclay sculpted stonework.
As I said, a very productive day.
