| THE BEST : Miniatures, scènes de la vie (Pascale GARNIER) I bought it on Internet, the councils of several site, in particular Miniaturama which gives him 20/20. Ca is worth them, it is exactly what I have desire for making. I with pleasure found the workshop of the mouse (I had already seen the photograph of a expo) inspired of the mice of Brambly hedge There are explanations and plans of pieces of furniture, but where to find plates of poplar, drowning and other rare gasolines in 20/10 mm? Perhaps will I be able to make one day the burrow of rabbits, when I will have a little more tools? |

 |
Les moins : begins again the Louis-Philippe secretary made from a wooden box (with sliding lid) already seen in his preceding book !!! I do not see any chance to find this kind of box just to the size of the furniture, why not simply building a carcass ? The examples and the explanations are drawn, nor realized or photographed and they are decorated illustration of professional furniture without any comparison !!! |
