Todd, I think you have a winner here, it's so life like it's amazing. Personally, I think you could sell as many of these as you could make, the tourists would eat them up. All you need is someplace to display and sell them at, someplace with lots of foot traffic.

Seriously cute and the accessories really make it.  The door hinges are a bit big though for the scale.  Perhaps you could mount them internally or use a pin top and bottom to hinge the door?  Just a thought.  I hope that is constructive.

Todd that is excellent work there's just one thing I would change and that's the door hinges either make wooden ones or buy miniature ones. There's a saying over here Don't spoil the ship for an hapest of tar. Hope you don't mind me saying. Roly

Those are only 3/4" ones Roly thats the smallest i can get up this way.

Fair enough it doesn't take away the fact you did a brilliant job on it and your happy. I'm to much of a critic of my own work and always open to suggestions.Roly
