Hello fellow miniaturists,
one of my actual projects is the 1:12 scale miniature art gallery. And today‘s post is about the fireplace:
The original plan for the art gallery was to install an open fireplace on the right hand wall… well let‘s say it worked out differently…
Here you see the first miniature version, which was an open fireplace:
But dear fellow miniaturist joybrown795 on Instagram pointed out if „a real art gallery would have an open fire burning?“ and that an open fireplace „would possibly bring smoke damage and soot to the artworks“.
Point well made! So I thought about it and decided for a tiled stove instead. And as it will be a miniature art gallery - the tiled stove should be an artistic one…
The beginnings of building the tiled stove in scale 1:12:
I‘ve started off with a basic version of the tiled stove made in balsa wood, with an opening on top:
Working on the tiled miniature stove
Size testing in the miniature art gallery - Frog Fergus approves so far
Cutting an opening into the front
Cutting the first piece of the top part
Top part fits
Done, the basic structure of the tiles stove is ready.
Frog Fergus thinks it‘s great so far!
The wall behind the fireplace has to be adapted to the new plan still.
Stay tuned for miniature art gallery and tiled stove updates!
Have a great day!
Danielle 😊
