The new sweet store

My sweet store was just big enough to have space for all my current sweets. I had expanded it to it's maximum depth and stability, as honestly, each display of sweets has a tangible weight to it. The empty displays are all shoe shop displays, the perfect fifties style for holding cakes and pastry.

I figured I needed to do something drastic. I bought the Town Royal Hotel from a friend and it was perfect for what I needed. That said, still not big enough for future additions. *hides in shame*

I bought 2 Town series lookalike boats, as the boat cabins can fit right into the Town as a side building. I designed a 3D floor slab to fit all levels, with a honeycomb tile floor. I had a tower dome left from another Town inspired rip-off series, which I kept for a few years now. The top floor slab was designed with slots where the dome and it's decorative front piece could slide into. The dome was burgundy, I repainted it in a color to fit next to the hotel. 

The boat cabins were pink, and I sprayed them taupe, to also match the hotel, yet a bit paler. I printed 2 vases in the bronze color which is also used in the hotel. I love the hotel's color scheme, it's stunning.

My town setup is placed on a series of identical cabinets, set side by side and back to back. Unfortunately there is a slight height difference, as they have different size wheels. And, as I have 7 cabinets, not 8, the one gap is filled with a table which has yet another height. This made it a bit trickier to compose the town center of JollyOaksfield. 

I also expanded the total length by a few inches, using a leftover piece of wood, trying to maximize the entire setup space and to make it look "logical". Too long to explain, you will see so soon, when my last diorama vid will be made. I am currently printing a few tiny stores to fit into the town, which I custom designed, in the same style as the town buildings to make it complete. Hopefully in a few weeks, it will be finished.

To make use of empty displays for future cakes, they just look like someone is cleaning them.

So, here it is, my sweet store, the former hotel. The height difference in it's levels is caused by the wooden expansion I was talking about. My Sylvs enjoy eating sweets in style, rofl! Enjoy!

Angelina Ballerina Sylvanians: origins.

Image
Again, a compilation about a series of blogs I made about this topic, after extensive research, compiled to offer relevant data only, and improved it even a bit. I split all the data over 2 blogs. I discovered the Angelina series in 2021 after I already collected a lot of Sylvanian Families and fell in love with them instantly. You can see the likeness to Sylvanian, but they are not real ones. Yet, they do are related indeed, as you will find out! T his is blog will deep dive into the origins, the next blog about my crafting. Flair (UK toy company since 1999) took over the production of Sylvanian Families in the UK in 1999/2000. Up to then, Epoch only produced Sylvanian Families in Japan. In 2013, Flair transferred the rights for the UK toys to Epoch UK. Flair released the Angelina Ballerina sets starting from 2003, yet claims to have no more info on the series, after contacting them. Through the help of some members of the Sylvanian forum, and lots of online research, I gathered more

Community Centre 3D printed: Part 4/4.

Image
Biggest and longest project so far  to design and print! Took me just over 1.5 year from start to finish! I do have another smaller big project coming up in a few weeks, with another vid. Since it's hot here, I will resume printing once the temp goes down, to keep the house nice and cool. Printing all day makes the house a tad warmer!  I have an even larger project coming up as soon as a new version of a multicolor printer comes out, hopefully by the end of this year. I uploaded my vid on Dailymotion, it was rejected because of copyright issues. Duh, all of it is made by me and there is no music! Just AI, sigh. My counter claim was rejected within a minute with the same copy/paste they always send when their AI detects "something". Made a small change and tried again, to have the same outcome. Not even a real person checks it. It was removed before the counterclaim was submitted!! Doing that was useless!  Reluctantly, I tried Vimeo, and it was rejected because of its size

Asian Sylvanians and 3D prints.

Image
Again, an effort to offer an improved recap of old blogs, all combined in one. My love for Asian gardens made me produce a temp setup bonsai garden. This was before I had a 3D printer, which could have helped a lot, but one does what one can with available materials.  It started by wrapping a table with kitchen foil, and installing the landscape lay of the land with used (and cleaned, lol) Chinese food containers. The upside down plate in the pond was put in temporary, so I would be reminded that there will be a small island in there.  The pond is a thin cutting board, with plexi on top. The grass was made wet to become sloppy, so it could be decorated over the landscape. When the grass dried, it was ready to decorate. The waterfall was created with the use of sandwich foil. Water droplets were added to the pond to take pictures. The sandy pond rim was made wet too, to make it look realistic. Part of the bonsai nursery path was made wet as well, as if the gardener just has watered the
