While I was building this book nook kit, I realised that it would look super boring if it remained unpainted. I asked my brother's girlfriend if she could paint it. After nearly a year this is the result!

This is great!

I'm doing the train one and might just have to paint it too.

The Bellatrix posters are a good touch

I have the train book nook from Robotime and that one looks good without painting (but not as good as this one in it's final form)

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

That's the one I'm doing

I'll have to see how the station turns out, but the train itself is quite nice.

My compliments to you and your brother's girlfriend! It looks like it could be a backdrop for one of those stop motion films!

It's the magic alley kit from cutebee. You can buy it on Amazon.

On paper the light wood with the dark engraving looks great but in reality it was mainly the same kind of cardboard brown.

However I can recommend the Robotime kits, they seem to be a much higher quality!
