And now you know why work on the bungalow has been so slow for so long...I've been hard at work on a top-secret, micro-scale project.
This is Phase 1 of a 1:144 Versailles. Except for the tiny LEDs (which were a disproportionately huge pain in the behind), this is all illustration board, Bristol board, clay, and pre-made 1:144 windows/doors.
I must have been out of my mind when I decided to do this...I am wiped out and STILL need to finish the side wings, the garden facade, the interiors, and (a small portion of) the grounds.
P.S. April Fool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great 1st of April joke, Anna, you almost caught me :D!!! Great, you are the first in the blog world who did an April fools joke, hahaha :D LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBut what to think about it, if it was a real miniature scene ....? That would be more than fantastic and beyond our possibilities!
You got me! I was all set to ask for more photos so I could see your work and you April Fooled me..HAHA

Wow! At first I thought that this was a Real Photo of Versailles and then I thought "no this is her miniature", and now here I've come full circle, it Really is a Real Photo. Congratulations on a great April Fools, Anna! Well done :D

Thank you all...yes, it's a real photo of Versailles (I used a tilt-shift effect to make it look more like a miniature)! I love the idea of making a micro-scale Versailles, but am so clumsy I'm not sure I can do such finely detailed work in such a tiny scale.
ReplyDeleteI still think its real, but I am a daydreamer.. convince me its not a real mini!
ReplyDeleteJane, you can see the original picture (which is of the real Versailles) here: http://architecture.about.com/od/periodsstyles/ig/Historic-Styles/Baroque.htm
DeleteAs I mentioned above, I edited the picture (using tiltshiftmaker.com) to make it look like a scale model. I am WAY too clumsy to do this kind of work in micro scale, trust me.
wahahaha good one!
ReplyDeleteI did not really fall for it, such a project must take years! Nevertheless, the pic is a feast for the eyes :)
Hugs,
Gee
Wow, what an incredible project! Love the LEDs!!!
ReplyDeleteoh I LOVE this one!
ReplyDeleteI love houses in 1/144 much more than in 1/12 (which I just find too big)
Your Versailles looks brilliant :)
