Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you!

From memory, the kit I received does not come with glue. But you can buy a bottle of craft glue or tacky glue for this. The description has a link to the glue I usually use for craft projects :)

Thank you! Fast drying glue will make it a bit easier, but either will work. I like to use glue that is relatively fast drying but not too fast to allow a bit of leeway in case of mistakes.

Thank you! 🥰

🥰

It’s one of my fav book book kit

Hope this will be able to help with your assembly! 💖

I mainly use basswood. Non-plywood sheets are easier to cut by hand, while plywood is for the more structural components such as walls

@@azukibeanhobbies Thank you :)

Very fun!!

The visual style is specifically from the Ghibli film Arrietty, which is an adaptation of the book!

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! ☺️

Thanks for watching ☺️

Thank you! It was really fun to make 😁

I used a bit of tacky glue (also known as craft glue) :)

Thank you!!

Thank you, it was really fun customising this kit! 🥰

You’re welcome! 😊 I recommend a type of craft glue called “tacky glue”. Here is a link to this on amazon which I have used in many projects and is very affordable and easily available: amzn.to/42I0fVy (note that I do get a small commission if you use this)

Thanks so much! 🥰 I was inspired by the music hehe

Thank you so much! How have you been? Have you made anything recently? :)

I've got some stuff in the works, but progress is definitely slow, hah. Things have been good, but busy. @@azukibeanhobbies

Hope to see your newest creation soon!@@meanderingcuriosity

Thank you! 😊

@@azukibeanhobbies You're very welcome 😀

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! The background music really put me in the mood (even though it’s technically not City Pop haha) 🥰

The Hogwarts train carriage is iconic!

Thank you! 😊

Ooooh! Like a skyline showing a vampire castle silhouette?

@@azukibeanhobbies yes exactly!

@@azukibeanhobbies id put vampire hunting gear in the cabin 😝 swords, stakes, crosses and little bottle of garlic and holy water.

@@carrie4910 You’ll probably need a little coat hanger or something for the big vampire hunter coat and Van Helsing style hat! 😆

@@azukibeanhobbies that would be so cool 😍

That’s awesome! I’m visualising something with Demon Slayer or Sakura Wars vibes!

@@azukibeanhobbies Nice, although "Demon Slayer" is in a different time period and also I don't think I have enough money to buy this set. But it'll make me happy if you do you're version of it, if you want to (= w =)

Your first message had Taisho so I immediately thought of the Demon Slayer time period 🤭. Edo is the time when the shogun was in power … I can only really think of the beginning of Kenshin, that’s heading into Meiji territory though 😅 Yeh this kit is pretty expensive! Though I do want to make something more Japan themed in a future project!

@@azukibeanhobbies Well i can't wait to see it when it happens ^ v ^

Probably the one from 'Sprited Away' or "5cm per second" - they were pretty regular [by look] but I think adding some details could create nice atmosphere. OR if we're talking about any theme - something from Feudal Japan [I like all of the demon and ghost stories]

@@SabakuNoShi Ooooh the “Spirited Away” and “5cm per second” trains can have the distinctive moving backgrounds, and maybe a small detail or two in the carriage. I love the feudal japan yokai stories and creatures!

@@azukibeanhobbies Yes, exactly! Do you know "Inu-Yasha'? I remember watching for a first time, it was so magical that for a moment it felt like living in that mysterious world ☺

​@@SabakuNoShi Yes I do, ah that brings back memories! I like fluffy-sama, lord Sesshoumaru 😆

@@azukibeanhobbies Hehe, yes, exactly. It was really cool story. By the way - there's second part with Sessomaru's and Inu-Yasha's doughters. I didn't see it yet, but friends told me that something like this exists

So glad you had fun making it 😊

Unfortunately no, it is closer to 1:24 scale

You’ll definitely need to seal the wood before painting, otherwise the paint will seep through and crack over time. Try to find a sealer, the one in the video the Jo Sonja’s “Clear Glaze Medium”, which is a light sealer. A heavier sealer is the “All Purpose Sealer”. Another one you can try is one called GAC100. Alternatively, you can use specific types of paint such as milk paint, but this is more for decor purposese.g. painting furniture to get that distressed look.

@@azukibeanhobbies okay thank you

Yes it does! :)

Yes, Mod Podge is a good alternative sealer :)

Вы можете купить мини-набор «Сделай сам» по ссылке на Amazon. Если вам не нравится базовый комплект, вы можете настроить его, как это сделал я :)

I would say wait a minimum of 1 day for the first layer on the raw wood so it can properly seal. For each subsequent layer, around an hour would do - you can use a hairdryer to speed up the surface drying time. Each varnishing coat is also 1 hour wait. Have fun with the jewellery box!

Thank you! 😊
