Miniature folding door

2014 happened so soon :O and in a couple of weeks it will be Chinese New Year! This is what I've managed so far, 1:12 wise. I'm blogging via the android blogger app for the first time, and it seems a little....difficult to adjust the photo layouts, but let's see how it goes.

The hinges were made with 0.3mm thick aluminum sheets and stainless steel pins. They were the most time consuming, and the doors out of styrene sheets of varying thicknesses. There are at least 4 layers of acrylic paints in 3 different shades of blue, I wanted it to look used but not decrepit.

I might re-do the door handle, forgot to add the keyhole until after I put it in place, durr. *smacks forehead*

Also, probably did this bass ackwards again, door before the structure, but my lights hadn't arrived yet and this door is an important feature,  so I got impatient hurhurhur.

Can you guess what this will be part of? ;)

    1. Hi Ewa! yeah, i feel silly for making them but sometimes when I want something specific it's so difficult to obtain...or too expensive!

  2. I am not sure where you will use it, but the doors turned out great. I agree with Ewa...the hinges are admirable. I don't think I would do it either. Look forward to seeing more of your project.
