So glad that these videos can help you, and good luck when crafting! Thanks for watching 😀

@@LillasKitchenCreations Thank you so much for watching. They really are so simple and it's great there's only a few ingredients needed. You will have to let me know if you try them out yourself. Best wishes 😀

They really are! Thanks for watching 😀

Thanks so much for watching, good luck with the build and I hope these videos help 😀

@ …ich hoffe es und freu mich drauf . Ich komme aus Deutschland , bin aber zur Zeit in Spanien im Urlaub. ☀️☀️☀️

In the UK you can get them from the Entertainer or Smyths toy shops. But Amazon also sells them 😀

So glad that it helped you and thank you for watching! 😀

Oh dear, hope you work it out! 😀

Cut it into individual branches. Put glue in the pot. Then stick the branches into the pot, just as if you were arranging a bouquet of flowers in a vase. You might need a tweezers.

Good luck! That is definitely the hardest bit of the build. I'm glad that the video has been helpful, thanks for watching 😀

@@juliederry3719 you definitely should get some. They are so fun to open and most of the items are perfect scale for a doll house. Thanks for watching 😀

Thank you so much for watching. So happy that they could be helpful ☺

@@milesbydesigndo you have a link to those scissors you used and the ruler?

​@@kari_writes_love sorry I don't . They are both things that I have had forever. All I can tell you about the ruler is it is stainless steel and the scissors are basic craft scissors. Thanks 😀

I had to sort through the bag for ones that fitted better. I also tried to squash the wire on bits that were a little bent with needle nose pliers as best I could. But it was difficult, the light was the hardest part of the build. Thanks for watching and good luck!

@@milesbydesignOMG! The plier trick worked! You are the craft whisperer! Love your videos btw! ❤

I'm so glad that it worked for you! 😀 and thank you so much 😊

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Yeah I struggle having painted nails when doing these crafts as it always seems to leave the colour somewhere on the make. 😀

@@milesbydesign 😊 Thanks Queen, I'll recommend you to many of my friends who will have the same kit. Also, if I may ask, for future videos, can you show more angles while complete putting pieces in? It's just, I sometimes got confused, either your hand was in the way or the frame blurred. Sorry, and Thanks again for the help on this project ❤ Stay Slay!!

Oh no, Do you mean the screws to fit the touch switch?

@@milesbydesigni have the same problem!! 😭

Oh no, seems strange that they keep leaving that part out of the box!

@@milesbydesign yeah its such a pity, i dont even know if they sell small screws like that, guess i‘ll have to cut one…

That's great! Thanks so much for watching 😀

Oh no sorry! I hope the rest of the videos are helpful. Were the G parts the electronics?

So glad that the videos have been helpful! Thanks for watching 😀

So glad that these videos were helpful and happy belated birthday! 🎂 🥳

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! Glad that it was able to help 😀

Hi there. It took a lot of adjusting and starting over to get it just right. Hope you have managed to do it 😀 thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for watching this video, I am glad that it was able to help. I hope your finished book nook came out okay. 😀

So glad that this video was able to help. Thanks for watching!

So glad that this video was able to help you. I admit that I was totally overwhelmed by the instructions when I first opened the box aswell. Thank you so much for watching! 😀

So glad that they could help and thank you for watching! 😀

I felt exactly the same before I started. But as you fit more and more pieces together and you make your way through the steps it does seem alot easier. Good luck on your build! Thanks for watching 😀

I was too! So glad this video is here!❤

So glad that you found this video useful. Thank you for watching 😀

What a lovely gift it will make. Good luck in your build and thanks so much for watching 😀

So happy that they were helpful with your construction. Hope that you are happy with the finished project 😊

@@milesbydesign oh yes, it's magic!

Hi there. I found that the glue pen provided was absolutely fine as long as you leave it long enough to dry when building. If you want to build quicker then an alternative might be preferable. But alot of the wooden pieces slot together so snugly that it barely needed the glue. Thanks for watching 😀

Thank you for making it all the way to the final part. Alot of the pieces of the model I found were snug enough that no glue was needed, that included the shell of the building. Like you said, I feel that if I ever needed to do any additional work on the construction it would be easy to disassemble if it wasn't completely glued. I haven't had a problem with it becoming wobbly as of yet. I believe that the glue is a pva. But I did not have any issues with it attaching the non-porous elements of the build. I would love to create my own book nook from scratch at some point. I would hope to think the wiring would be a little easier to implement if I was doing it myself than following these instructions! Thank you so much again for watching this series and your fantastic feedback 😀

I'll probably begin my own "Sunshine Town" sometime early 2024. When I attempt some scratch built Book Nook projects of my own, I'll probably use items available at my local hobby shop for accessories to fill out my scenes. Some sources you might want to look into are Plastruct and Evergreen for textured plastic sheet representing stonework and building sidings. The store I go to also has precut balsa and basswood stock that could also be helpful, in addition to thin plywood (primarily for flying model aircraft) similar to the main material in the Sunshine Town Book Nook. One plastic model company, MiniArt, has an extensive line of accessories in 1/35th scale that may prove useful for Book Nooks. Though mainly aimed at military subject modelers, their accessory catalogue includes plenty of civilian items, including café furniture and crockery, farming and gardening tools, wooden barrels, household furniture, musical instruments, small civilian vehicles, and other nice detail items. These are smaller than conventional doll house items in 1/24th scale, but larger than O-Gauge (1/48th scale) model railroad items, and would suite Book Nook projects very well. Thanks again for the build tutorial, and good luck with any future projects!

Yes sometimes I feel that the instructions could have changed the order that parts were affixed together. Also sometimes I was too eager to move on to the next step so the glue had not properly set. Glad this video can help with your construction 😀

I know what you mean about being overly eager to finish a project; we've all been there! But your model looks great! Really, the only thing I would have done differently would be to position the sandwich-board sign in front of the café - I'm going to angle mine so the writing is visible to viewers from the front. (I may also customize mine by replacing the cats with similar sized plastic dogs, if I can find any . . . .) I'll probably refer to your video tutorials several times when I begin my project. Thanks again for the trailblazing!

Yes I was really impressed with the kit itself, although sometimes I did have to manhandle parts together because it was too snug to fit. Thanks for watching 😀

Thank you so much. Very glad that my video could be of some assistance.

Quick question: Is the white paint supplied with the kit water-based acrylic, or is it a solvent based enamel or lacquer?

@@modelermark172 I'm not sure. I did not require paint thinners therefore I believe it was water based acrylic.

Thanks. This being the case, I suppose a builder with a good selection of water based acrylics on hand could also add "personal touches" using complimentary colors to 'customize' this kit. I'm already considering painting the door frames and handrails of the Coffee Shop shown at 17:56 a different color to make them stand out more.

First of all thanks for watching the video! I'm so glad that it might help you when constructing your own book nook model. Secondly, Wow if you have built models like that you probably will find this build a lot easier than I did. Hope you enjoy. Let me know how it turns out 😀

Thanks! That said, 'model kits' like the "Sunshine Town Book Nook" is WAY out of my usual 'comfort zone.' I have built models out of styrene plastic, wood, paper, and other materials over the course of my building lifetime, (including flying model planes and plank-on-frame model ships that also use die/laser-cut parts on sheets,) so I do have some skills (and tools) to draw from. But I've never built a kit like this, before. I would like to experiment with the Book Nook format, and maybe - eventually - scratch build some of my own using parts from traditional model kits and accessories. The overall "Book Nook" concept is similar to what model builders might call a "Shadow Box Diorama," and one of my reasons for buying this kit was to use it as a 'prototype' for such future projects. I'm hoping to start assembly of my "Sunshine Town" in early 2024. Again, thanks for what plastic modelers would call an "In-Box Review," and a "Test Build" of this kit. It will be a very big help to me.

Thank you! I was lucky that I received most of them as either a gift or managed to find them reduced in the sale. Thanks again for watching 😀

Hi, thanks for watching. I used a hairdryer on the highest setting. Hope this helps. 😀

perfect idea ! thank you for the tip, the hair dryer worked very well for me too ! 👍@@milesbydesign

So glad that it worked for you too! @@cbolaurent 😀

Thanks so much for watching 😀

Hi there! Thank you for watching. The kit here is the Rolife Sunshine Days BookNook kit. We got ours from a local garden centre but you can purchase them from Amazon aswell. Hope this helps. 😃

So glad it was helpful and thank you for watching! :)

Thank you for watching!

So glad that these videos can be of some help. Good luck with the build when you start!

Thank you.

Thanks so much for subscribing, I am so glad that you enjoy the channel. If you ever have suggestions of what we can do/ ypu would like to see in future videos then please let me know. 😃

The light and wiring were very difficult and the instructions were unclear, I spent so much time concentrating on getting it right that I ended up not filming all of the steps. Thank you for watching. I hope that you managed to get your lighting sorted :)

Same here

@@natalialenczner456 it’s actually easy. Just combine all black and white cables into one was and twist the ends. Do the same with red and yellow wires. Wrap ends with the black sticky stuff and that’s it.

Thank you for watching. I'm glad that my tutorial is a little easier to follow than the instructions are. It's a shame that yours did not include the paint or glue, especially as the kits are not cheap. Hope you can find some suitable replacements 😀

@@milesbydesign a lot easier with your video to be honest.Thanks again for uploading the video👍😀

Thanks for watching. You will have to let me know if you try the recipe and how it turns out. 😉

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for watching. The instructions are definitely confusing so I'm glad this has helped you 😀

Sorry, the instructions in the manual were so confusing that when it came to the last part of the wiring I didn't manage to capture it on camera as I was concentrating too much on getting it right. Thanks for watching 😃

Thanks so much for watching. I agree that some of the directions are a little tricky to understand. Especially when it came to finishing the wiring (which I found so confusing that I didn't record it because I was concentrating too much to get it right!). Good luck on your build. Hope it goes smoothly :)
