AMEA ANZAC Long Weekend Workshop

Scale 1:48 (quarter inch scale)

Tutor: Warren Barnard
A quarter inch scale project of an iconic Australian house with
something for every miniaturist, whether a beginner in smaller scale or more
experienced. Let your imagination run wild with decorating in the 1930s or
contemporary style.
Warren Barnard has created this project modelled exactly on the
Brisbane house in the images below. The kit is laser cut to perfection in
MDF, resin board and his usual assortment of materials (crafted for easy
assembly and finishing), and will sit on a purpose made Base Board. The
detailing on the exterior, and in particular the verandahs, will give this house
instant street appeal. Oh to be little enough to move in.
