'Cabin Fever' Secret Book finished

It took quite a while to do all the little bits to go inside Cabin Fever.  These pieces are very tiny! They are 1:160 scale, which is very, very tiny indeed.  I feel all thumbs when doing them.  I have mentioned before how much I love my very pointy tweezers - well, they are even more essential for this scale.  You just cannot do it with your fingers.  In fact you can't even hold most of them with your fingers - you have to use tweezers.


Here are the little pieces in front of the book 'room', and you can see by the ruler in front of it just how little it all is.


Here are the 'rooms' with all the pieces in place.  Don't you love the detail?  This is just so typical of Robin Betterley products.  The artwork is superb and the detail is fantastic. There are cushions on the sofa, a throw on the chair.  The lamp has a moose on it, there's a playing board on the coffee table and the fishing creel has three fishing rods beside it.  Upstairs there is an armoire, bed and blanket chest.  The bed and armoire have tiny trees on the tops - such delicate detail.


Here is a closer view of the room, hope it shows things slightly more clearly.  I think I had the camera on the wrong setting.  I was trying out the indoor setting, but they don't seem as clear and sharp as usual.


Can you see the tiny little trees on the bedposts and the wardrobe?  And can you see the detail of the lamp on the ground floor?  And the fishing creel? 


It took all evening to make the bedroom furniture, and I did the living room today.  So I don't think I will be doing an entire book each night.
