to cheat or not to cheat?

not back yet, I just remembered an idea I was very enthousiastic about months ago (still am) and had not thought of showing yet, until now. 'Cause when I ordered the EL-light at Microstru for my laptop in January, I also ordered one of their kits for an amazing 1:144 scale house. Because every selfrespecting antique/old stuff shop should have an antique dollhouse right? And besides that it's a house I kind a fell in love with, it also seemed a very doable and realistic kit.

This lovely kit comes from Microstru - Millers Engineering

once upon a time ...

... a girl wanted to build a dollshouse. I've had been interested in miniatures quite some time and had made a 1 or 2 (not very good) items, but due to circumstances never really started. In 2006 I did design a house that I plan to make one day:

it's going to be a big house with a little different way of viewing the rooms than ususal. And I'll be making as much by myself as I think is possible and getting a realistic as possible result as well.

not being able to built this house in the foreseeable future, I decided to start with something small and simple: an antique/oldstuff store: The Oldtique Store. The concept of such a store is not very original I know, but I really like(d) the idea, want to make it and then originality is of minor importance. But like most I think of it couldn't stay simple or small....
