Hobby rooms

Small roombox

This box originally held 50 rounds of the .22 pistol cartridges shown. Gift to a gun-owner. There's a replica of his own brief-case, a gun safe, a shelf filled with books and LP records, and a target from a shooting contest. The interior is slightly blurred due to the clear plastic front. (Winter 2000.)

Large roombox

Same recipient as prevous roombox. Here, more hobbies are represented. The "house" is encased in a IKEA box for protection. (Winter 2001.)

Living room Piano

The stereo unit is actually a printable, but I painted it for added realism. Piano and model ship are reduced from 1" scale instructions in Dollshouse World. Sheet music is scanned and reduced from full-size.

BP gun Black powder gun and powder flask. The gun was made from wood, card, and plastic rodding. I used snippets of paper for triggerguard and hammer, and grains of craft sand for suggesting trigger and sight. The gun is a Colt Walker revolver designed in 1846, an unusually large and heavy gun. Its size made it slightly easier to reproduce in miniature. Still, in 1/4" scale it's only about 5/16 long.

Studio

At the upper floor, there's a studio for painting and model ship building.
