Blackstaff Cottage

[Patrick Davey]

Another of my 'banish the winter blues' projects was to have a go at building a cottage diorama, with an emphasis on including as much interior detail as I could realistically cram in.  The interior is based on an original building once owned by my grandparents, which still stands today in King Street, Newcastle, Co. Down.

The main building material for this project was 3mm mount board, with most details eg. furniture also built from this material.  A few additional details are from Scale Model Scenery, including kitchen table & chairs, armchairs and terracotta roof slates.

I have progressed the build sufficiently to share progress, as I reach the final stages.  Some of the interior detail is known only to me (very obsessive) but most of it was photographed before the roof went on and interior lighting also shows much of it.  Further updates will follow!

Great detail.

Great stuff and looks like good fun too. What scale have you used?

Thanks David - 4mm.  And yes to the fun!

4mm? I thought it was the 1:12 doll's house from those interiors!

Some further progress.
