Cute Asian Loft Kit

I bought the Guqin Pavillion kit from another Revain site almost a year ago and am excited to have it available here for the same price if it ever comes out. Sold out as this set is one of my favorites. I just love it. This is my sixth DIY kit but my first Asian themed kit ever and it has proven to be my personal favorite among other Asian themed lofts. This is the largest DIY house I've built to date and has more pieces, but based on my personal experience with DIY kits, it was surprisingly easier to build than my previous kit. However, I don't recommend this for beginners or those who don't have a lot of time and/or patience to put together, and it's definitely not for kids. You will literally have to assemble everything yourself and as this is a tiny 1/24 scale product this requires a lot of manual dexterity as well as good eyesight. Measurements are in millimeters, not inches, so you'll need a small ruler that measures in millimeters, or at least a ruler that measures in centimeters and converts it to millimeters. You'll need precision scissors (nail scissors in my case) to cut the small pieces of paper, as well as a light-weight knife to cut the tiny fruit bars. Silicone glue works best to hold the pieces together, although regular glue stick will work for regular pieces of paper like the "bottom". Although there are more bulbs (only 8) compared to other DIY kits I've built to date, it turned out to be surprisingly easier to put together than before as the wires next to the bulb are better separated and the wires are much longer to make them easier to align without having to cut, clip, and glue together more than once. The materials are pretty flimsy (just shiny paper, beads, thin pieces of wood, etc., so there's not much room for error; it helps to use recycled material from previous DIY kits if it's not your first kit, although in one kit i got there were a few extra materials i was able to use to make extra parts like making a tiny makeshift sink using extra beads and leftover wire as this house doesn't have it, it also helps those leftover materials from the old sets if it's not your first set, I used to make a makeshift mirror so the bathroom wall doesn't look too empty I printed my own posters to decorate the bathroom floor and walls and have used my own fabric to protect the house from looks too monochromatic (lots of pink and the floor is pale pink) but otherwise altering is never subtle as the house s is beautifully designed just the way it is. A small garden is a very beautiful facility that embellishes the whole house and creates a balance of colors; Of all the parts of the garden, the little cherry blossom was the most difficult and frustrating part to put together and also very messy, but it's well worth the time and effort of putting it together and adds a special touch to the set that others have taken a week and a day to create complete the assembly with minimal breaks in between and I'm very happy with how it looks. The finished product is just over 8 inches tall with the included dust cover (which comes in 5 sides/covers all directions), is just over 1 foot wide and about 8 inches in diameter, which is larger than regular loft sets , but still a good size for a decoration that doesn't take up too much space. . While it's too small and delicate to be a real children's dollhouse (it's more of an adult decoration), the size of the house is the perfect place to put little figures inside, making it the perfect little accessory for the dollhouse own rooms. The living room back wall has space and holes (conveniently hidden) to attach a musical work for added personality; Whether the musical movement is on or someone doesn't like the song, it's not a problem as you can buy another one that will play the song to your liking (make sure it's a groovy one and not a weird one if you like ). to choose your own ringtone) to further customize your kit. Flashlights require AAA batteries.
