After holding the 1/4" scale retro kitchen in my hands, I quickly realized this past Saturday, that this scale takes some getting use to- first of all, my contacts were changed quickly to my glasses.
This wonderful workshop was conducted by NAME member and board member , Luci Hanson of Oregon . I am proud to say that with wonderful help, wonderful attendees and the fantastic new room of the Museum of Miniature Houses and Other Collections, Inc located in Carmel, Indiana
this was a first. The first time such a workshop was held in the museum and sponsored by the A-3 Region of NAME.
I came home amazed at the size of this kitchen, pondering how to give the room its touches of realism all in 1/4 inch scale.
These pictures take you from beginning to the end of the day. Give me a week or so and you shall see the completed project.
