Working on Weekends Again (ALL NIGHTER NUMBER 2 pt 1)

For students, the notion of "rest" during the things they call "weekends" is in fact a myth. One designed for the upkeep of student morale, a cruel illusion, like an painting of water before a thirsty man.

It was Friday the 27th of March, and i had gone back to uni to spend another night on the model. This time Franchesca stayed as well, in hope we could finish it by morning.

We continued building the interior room by room, but unfortunately, one segment was missing a doorway and a small room (closet in the budoir if i remember correctly) so it was rebuilt, salvaging what parts we could from its predecessor.



As rooms needed to be complete prior to fitting and assembly, we had to finish them. Needless to say, (perhaps aided by late-night susceptibility to distraction,) we got carried off on the tangent of creating modelmaking masterpieces of detailing as shown below.

Trying to win the "Best Fireplace" award...


Cutting even curves suck. Layering sheets to achieve volumes sucks. Which is why i love building toilets and bathtubs at 1:100. (The toilet seat and my taps on the bath mean i also won the imaginary "Most Detailed Bathroom" award.)


And i think Franchesca easily deserved the "Greatest bookshelves and cupboards in the Budoir" award

Self-inflicted punishment for coming up with stupid awards in which we're the only entrants...


More actually happens after sunrise but i think that warrants a new post...
