I love miniatures, especially the ones produced by Re-ment. Re-ment’s Puchi Sample series is most famous for its food miniatures. However, it has also produced a few miniature supermarket series, cleaning products and medicines, cookware, electrical appliances and a mini kitchen (where else to cook your mini food!?) with a stove top and oven. Oh yes, and there are also kitchen cabinets, a refrigerator and also one of those supermarket vegetable chillers.
I love miniatures so much I plan to make my own miniature furniture too XD
I recently got a DIY dollhouse book on eBay. Well, more accurately, “it is a reference book for miniture accessories for a Japanese-style dollhouse. It also reproduces a typical Showa Era street and introduces 22 scenes of nostalgic (natsukashiii na~~~~~) Japanese scenery.” That’s the blurb on the eBay page. I don’t really know what I’m getting, but I really want to make that sushi bar they have on the book scan there! I hope it’s not just something that tells me how to make the sushi alone >_page gives some amusing information on it. Also, if you want to try out chabudai-gaeshi yourself, without the mess, download this (175kb, from YSI, expires in a week). After you download it, rename the extension from .zip to .exe and away you go. 2 seconds of fun.
Anyway, because I can’t obsess over making a dollhouse RIGHT NOW (got to wait till the book arrives >__
