finished roombox
       
According to the french book Miniatures, scènes de la vie (Pascale GARNIER)
The mice workshop (inspired by the Brambly hedge mice) is gorgious, but a little large (50x31x30 cm) and difficult.
Here my reduced version, in a 29x21x14 cm plywood box. It is more rigid than the foamboard and I can make setbacks and a window, by sticking 5 mm foamboard over the plywood.
1/12 scale.
The walls are wallpapered then repaints.

Because of the small size of the box, the mice will not have a cooker on the mezzanine, just a kitchen table.
Nor spinning wheel, they have to spin with a spindle.

     
The old handkerchiefs make superb cloths, and the fabric is rather fine.   tea towels
