scale model furniture

prop construction

This scale model furniture was made for a puppet show. To give an idea of the scale, the bookcase measures 230mm high by 180mm wide by 170mm deep.

The bookcase is constructed from MDF which was then painted to look like grained wood. The radiator is again MDF and uses an existing small tap for the valve. The occasional table has an MDF top, a hand-turned support and plywood 'legs', all stained to resemble mahogony.
