Kids study artist Mano Kellner and her "art boxes" and make dioramas from collage material, animal figurines, and greenery.
Turn Foam Into a Hyper-Realistic Brick Wall Model: Bricks are one of the most common building materials out there. And luckily, for people who are interested in dioramas and scale models, it's also one of the easiest materials to imitate on a small scale. In this Instructable, we will sculpt an old …
Al final del post anterior mencioné cómo era posible, gracias a las dimensiones estandarizadas de las páginas de tamaño A3 y A4, alargar los diseños más pequeños y dividir el más grande para generar otros diseños de garages. Vayamos, pues, al asunto. Primero, tenemos estos dos garages de tamaño intermedio que resultan de alargar verticalmente los dos garages pequeños que estaban juntos en la primera página de tamaño A4 en el post anterior: Como consecuencia de este alargamiento, ahora las bases miden 12cm * 21cm, y ya no caben ambos juntos en una sola página de tamaño A4, sino que cada uno ocupa una página de tamaño A4 por sí solo. Nuevamente, estos renders en 3-D nos permiten apreciar la apariencia de ambos garages una vez que han quedado armados como es debido: Pueden descargar los archivos correspondientes en formato PDF listos para imprimir (con una resolución de 300dpi al 100% del tamaño) aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V-t5mLfbeJmqMERcHA7g3yvs9Rm5kmKr/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JjNNdMn-scQ2Pu7FQE8VWfUu-BPcZJW7/view?usp=sharing El siguiente garage es el resultado de nuevamente tomar el garage no tan pequeño del post anterior y rotar 90 grados la pared lateral, pero esta vez, en vez de añadir otra pared lateral, alargamos la base y la pared trasera hacia la derecha, con lo cual nos queda así: Ahora la base mide 21cm * 12cm, y el garage resultante aún cabe en una sola página de tamaño A4. Otro render en 3-D nos muestra su apariencia una vez terminado de armar: Pueden descargar el archivo correspondiente en formato PDF listo para imprimir (con una resolución de 300dpi al 100% del tamaño) aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V59fkLM0t5eCugUJ_OV8-BzElloVDhJp/view?usp=sharing De manera similar, si tomamos el garage de 3 paredes del post anterior, eliminamos la pared lateral izquierda, y alargamos la base y la pared trasera hacia la izquierda, trasladando a ese lugar una de las ventanas de la pared eliminada, obtenemos el siguiente resultado: Aquí también la base mide 21cm * 12cm, y el garage aún cabe en una sola página de tamaño A4. Una vez más, el correspondiente render en 3-D nos muestra el aspecto que tendrá: Pueden descargar el archivo correspondiente en formato PDF listo para imprimir (con una resolución de 300dpi al 100% del tamaño) aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yuag9tczROoj5PBlZx-mlJjWWCzJkMLw/view?usp=sharing Finalmente, si tomamos el garage grande del post anterior, el mismo que cabía en una hoja de tamaño A3, y lo dividimos en dos mitades, una izquierda y una derecha, esto es lo que obtenemos: Ahora, cada mitad cabe en una página de tamaño A4. Sin embargo, debido a que necesitamos dejar un margen de 1cm a cada lado, ahora cada una de las bases mide 12cm * 21cm, de modo que al unir ambas mitades, nos queda una base de 24cm * 21cm, en vez de los 27cm * 21cm que medía la del diseño original que cabía en una página de tamaño A3. Como hemos venido haciendo, presentamos ahora un par de renders en 3-D que nos muestran el aspecto de ambas mitades del garage una vez debidamente armadas: Pueden descargar los archivos correspondientes en formato PDF listos para imprimir (con una resolución de 300dpi al 100% del tamaño) aquí: https://drive.google.com/file/d/190pOyi2cKUwhFMrl4d8z7OAKhz3BQ4AX/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Npb5cQaQROib_D0gt_6F6M0UKLkol2g/view?usp=sharing Del mismo modo que estos dos últimos garages forman las dos mitades de uno más grande, podemos unir algunos de los anteriores para formar otros más grandes. Sin embargo, notarán que los garages en los colores de Gulf no cuentan con sus correspondientes "medias naranjas" (por así decirlo). De eso nos encargaremos en el siguiente post, junto con algunas cosas más.

Above all, I want to thank Ray - a most charming man (and talented miniaturist),who was kind enough to mention on his blog http://modernminiatures-whitledge-burgess.blogspot.com/ my work. Since then numerous Americans, Canadians and Australians have visited my blog, and subscribed . It is a great honour, also big challenge, not to disapoint lovers of Paris (and of miniaturs). Thanks to all, and welcome to the adventure of constructing this : French Classic House 1/12. P.S. Will need some time ti visit each of yout blog, and my apology for the GOOGLENGLISH. Your truly, jean-claude Avant tout je tiens à remercier Ray. Cet homme charmant (et miniaturiste de tallent) a eu la bonté de parler de mon travail sur son blog http://modernminiatures-whitledge-burgess.blogspot.com/ Depuis, de nombreux amis Américains, Canadiens et Australiens ont visité mon blog et se sont inscrits. C’est pour moi un grand honneur et aussi un grand challenge car maintenant je dois essayer de faire le maximum pour ne pas décevoir ces amoureux de Paris (et de la miniature). Alors merci à tous et bienvenue dans l’aventure de la construction de cette maison classique française 1/12. P.S. Merci de me laisser un peu de temps pour visiter chacun de vos blog et merci de pardonner mon GOOGLENGLISH. Sincérement votre jean-claude La Partie centrale de la maison est presque terminée. J'ai fait une photo avec mon chat pour donner une idée de l'échelle. Le fil bleu est un scoubidou que j'agitais pour l'attirer ;-) Vous allez souvent voir ce chat car je veux en garder un souvenir pour le futur. C'est un vieux chat, je ne sais pas très bien son age (environ 19 ans) car c'est " un cadeau" suite à une séparation: la personne est partie mais son chat est resté. Cela fait maintenant plus de 10 ans qu'il partage ma vie, il est devenu complètement sourd, aveugle d'un oeil mais est, évidement, un amour de chat. Je dois encore faire le garde-corps du balcon. Je ne sais pas si je vais le réaliser en bristol (comme la rampe de l'escalier ci-dessous) ou me lancer dans la soudure. Le problème c'est que le métal employé dans la réalité est plat et je ne suis pas certain de trouver l'équivalent pour le 1/12? Si l'un de vous a une idée elle est la bienvenue. Dans un prochain article je vais revenir en détail sur la réalisation de cette partie centrale de la maison. Bon WE et à bientôt...

Preparing and hanging doors is a tricky business. To get a real aged look you have to create wear and tear. Lightly sand the surface and then smudge it very lightly with grey chalk pastel. Be sure to smudge only where ordinary wear and tear would be, such as around the door handle. To add more realism I made a faux door catch by cutting an indent on one door (above) and gluing a small brass square on the other (below). I hung the door using hinges rather than using a pin (which is easier). This required carefully cutting in where the hinges will go. I superglued the hinges on, and then drilled little holes for the nails. This makes it much easier than trying to nail it when it is not fixed in place. Also, be sure to drill the holes and glue in the nails rather than nailing them in with a hammer. If you nail them in the chances are the delicate wood of your door will split. It is important to ensure your hinges are perfectly lined up and horizontal, otherwise the door will not open or the hinges will break when you open it. The result is pleasing.
Stencil card (aka ‘stencil paper’ or ‘oiled manilla’) is a strong thin card treated with linseed oil which makes it even stronger and partially waterproof. This also stops it from ‘furring…

I thought I would show you how to make a simple interior door and jamb from mat board. I took the opening measurement from the Hobby Builder's catalog so this door is standard for today's dollhouses. Once you have learned the method you can make doors of different dimensions. I have bought lots of books from Dover Publishers.com. This book is very good for doors and windows. It doesn't give measurements but the ideas are great. Some examples of the pages. I will begin with the jamb or the frame in which the door sets. The Hobby Builder's catalog listed the opening as 3" wide, 7" high and 3/8" deep. Cut strips of mat board 3/8" wide. Cut at least 40". I am going to be using yellow carpenter's glue through out this tutorial. Cut 4 pieces of the mat board 7" long, that's in the picture above. Glue two pieces together and glue another two pieces together. You now have two pieces 7" long that are double thickness of mat board. Cut from the mat board 3 pieces 2 3/4" long. Glue two of these pieces together. Leave the third piece for later. Cut 1/8" wide strips from mat board, at least 20". Measure and mark on the doubled strips of mat board the center, 3/16" from either side. Glue the 1/8" wide strip along the line. There will be 3/16" left on one side. This is called the "stop". It stops the door so it only swings one way. Here are the three pieces of the jamb with the stop glued on. There are two sides and one top. Pay attention to how I have this laid out. With your craft knife cut off 1/8" of the stop at the top of one side. Do the same thing with the other side. This is what the top of the side should look like after you've made the cut. I am holding the top of the jamb in my hand. The side in on the table. The top fits down onto the side. The stop should line up all around. I have the sides glued to the top. Do you see that the sides are covering the ends of the top? Look at the stop, it is lined up all around. Now, for the third piece of 3/8" wide mat board you set aside earlier, this is the bottom of the jamb or threshold. Measure and mark the center, then mark 1/8" away from that. Use your craft knife to cut on the marks. Cut 1/16" deep. This is the threshold with the cuts made. Use 220 grit sand paper to round off the long edges of the threshold. Glue the threshold to the bottom of the jamb. The stop is in the openings you cut out. Showing another view of the threshold. Please let this dry. I measured the inside of the jamb for the measurement of the door. I left a little play, that's carpenter talk for extra space between the door and jamb. This measurement is 2 11/16" x 6 3/4". Cut this from mat board. This is my cut sheet. I've drawn the door in 1 inch scale and then measured what I need to cut. You will notice I've got my 3/8" measurements together then I've got an oddball 3/4" measurement and then the 9/16" measurements are together. If you are using a table saw or mat cutting system this makes it easy to follow. Set the width once and make those cuts and move onto the next one. You will have all your strips cut to width. All you will have to do is measure for the length and cut. I've got my 3/8" strips cut. I've cut 4 of the 3/8" strips 6 3/4" long and glued them along the sides of the door. I've done this to both sides of the door. Although I have the length written down I usually just dry fit and mark with a pencil where I need to cut for length. I will do this for the rest of the door, both sides. I use my square and craft knife to cut the strips to length. I've got a 3/8" strip at the top, 3/4" strip in the lower middle and a 9/16" strip at the bottom. I do this for both sides. Just a word here, this would make a fine door right now if you want. I am dry fitting and marking for the center pieces, they are from 3/8" strips. I've got the center strips glued in, both sides. I want to show you something. Do you see the two pencil marks on the top strip? I am measuring for the center. This is an old carpenter's trick, the old carpenter being my husband, HA! You don't have to divide fractions. I'm using a scrap of mat board. Lay your ruler down, it's length is between the 1/16 and 1/8 inch marks. Make a pencil mark at what looks to be over half to you. Remember the measurement, mine is 1 11/16". I am measuring from the left side. Now, I've rotated the mat board and I am measuring from the other side, 1 11/16". I've made a pencil mark. You should be able the "eye" the center without measuring. Use 220 grit sand paper to round off the square edges of the mat board. Don't do the outside edges of the door just the inside of the rectangles you made with the strips. Just a note here, this makes a fine door right now. To imitate the raised panels we will cut from the 9/16" wide strips of mat board 4 pieces 3 1/4" long and 4 pieces 1 1/4" long. Use 220 grit sand paper to round off all 4 sides of these pieces. After you have rounded off the edges glue these pieces into the center of the rectangles of the door, both sides. I've got the door just setting in the jamb. I am using scrap mat board from a framer. Got a good buy on some large pieces for $3.00 and $5.00 a piece. They were discontinued colors. Last time I bought a piece from Michael's it was $15.00! Going to make the trim for the jamb. Cut from mat board a few pieces, enough for both sides of the door, a fat 1/8" wide and 5/16" wide. Glue the fat 1/8" strip to one side of the 5/16" strip. Use 220 grit sand paper to round off the the edges of the strips. I use The Chopper for my mitres. I've made the first cut. I have no trick for you in cutting mitres, I am sorry. It's all in the measuring, measure twice, cut once. Glue the trim onto the jamb, on the outside piece of mat board. Leave the inside piece showing, that's called the reveal. That's why I doubled the mat board on the jamb so we would have something to glue to, even if it is a single piece of 1/16" thick piece of mat board. The jamb is going to be glued into a door opening. I have the trim glued on. Cut two of everything so you have trim for the other side of the door jamb. You will put that on after you have the door and jamb in the opening. I used 180 grit sand paper to sand round one side of the door. This makes it easier for the door to swing with a pin hinge. The rounded side is the side that will have the pin hinge. That's all I use. I haven't gotten to putting real hinges on, yet. I have a small stash of these short thick brass pins, I don't know where I got them from. You can use a straight pin or dollhouse nails for the hinge. Putting the pins in is a little tricky. Place the door into the jamb and mark on the door and jamb, have the marks line up. You want to be 3 /32" from the edge of the door. Your door is 3/16" thick, you want to have the pin in the middle of that. Transfer the 3/32" mark to the top and bottom of the jamb and drill using a tiny drill bit. You don't have to drill into the door, only through the top and bottom of the jamb. The pin will go into the door pretty easily. Insert your pins. Don't worry if you don't succeed on the first try. If you make too many attempts just put glue in the holes, let dry and try again tomorrow. Tigger's on my table. I hope you try this out. I had this made in a couple of hours, that beats waiting for it being shipped. Have fun, Expand on it, Make it better . . . . . Just Keep Making Minis! TTUL Kris P.S. I added a picture showing one of the pins in the bottom of the jamb or threshold. A pin goes in the top of the jamb, too. The pins are inserted into the side of the door that you rounded off with sand paper. I hope this helps a little more.
