It's looking almost done! I need to add house numbers, a mailbox, hanging flowers and a porch swing. And maybe I could find a doorbell and a porch light.

In one of the buildings at Balboa Park is a miniature train exhibit. I think these are from the Thirties.
An Artist's Studio (I did not get the name of the club member who built it, sorry)
Today was the 25th annual miniatures show held by the West LA miniatures club known as "Miniatures West." I usually go; there are pictures in my stream from previous years. None of the displays here were made by me; they were the presentations made my Miniatures West members and their friends.

Not a miniature I'm remotely happy with, but I've uploaded it for completeness. I'm not too keen on these plastic figures; the heads mount too low, the features are too angular and they're too bulky for a goblin in my opinion. Plus, it's very easy to pose them in a way that leaves hard to paint nooks and crannies. They don't seem "special" either, and lack charm and character. Plastic might be a godsend to people with an army to build, but for someone who's a painter only metal minis are better.
