Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

The antique wax really brings out the Chrysnbon wood texture. Also the colors come out better than using just acrylic paint. You do have a way of making the most simple little thing look like the real thing with all your painting techniques, they very helpful. Cute stuff! Looking forward to the "lots of projects" and the large Harry Potter build!
The Harry Potter build is coming this summer 🤫 It will take a long time to finish but it's getting started.
@@queencityminis I just think it's cool that it's in the planning 👍🏼
I love your honest commentary as it helps us figure out our own style and mistakes.
Always! Glad to help 😌
I think that shelf is like a spice cabinet in the kitchen. You fill it up with different types of spices that way they are there for fast easy use. The whole kit turned out great. Have a great day
I think you're right. How cute!
You truly have an eye for realism. I love how you turn plastic into the real thing. :o)
Thank you so much 😊 Polystyrene takes paint so well and the Chrysnbon kits are very nicely detailed.
I love Chrysnbon kits, but I don't have this one. I really appreciate the fact that you acknowledge the sources of your inspiration and ideas. I love your tip on dry-fitting the knobs and gluing from behind. Brilliant! I only ever use plastic cement on these kits, it never occurred to me to use PVA. Good job fixing the lamp! I would electrify it with nano chip leds. I'm obsessed with them!
Thank you so much :) I love how we all learn from one another and make our own projects better.
I cannot believe how perfectly that diamond glaze fixed the broken glass!!!!! That is a definite "must have" new product!
It really is! I used it to make the mugs in my recent video too. It makes acrylic paint look like enamel paint.
@@queencityminis Yes! I liked the effect on the mugs :)
I love the little white ceramic knobs on the shelf, oh, and the chicken. Oh, and the hurricane lamp. Ah, I really like it all!🤓💕
Thanks so much! 😊 I plan to dry brush the chicken with some copper paint. I think it would be a really convincing verdigris copper effectm
@@queencityminis That'll look nice!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks about the different paints and glues during your awesome presentation. Love the hen on nest especially..and the "cabinet" 😂❤
You are so welcome! Is it a cabinet or a shelf?!
I like the antique ceramic knobs idea
I like them too! They also look awesome in plain white.
This is the cutest kit. You make customization feel like I can do it too.
You can! It's such a blast.
I love the happy accidents you had with the table and the rooster, you know what I mean, when it doesn't go to plan but accidentally ends up working out even better. I do like how you did the little cabinet. Out of laziness I guess, I probably would have stopped with the first colour paint, but you went the extra mile and kept adding more layers of colour to bring out the detail and age, and I really like that. It inspires me to do better with my minis. Eagerly anticipating your next video now!
Absolutely! I am always having to change my plan or I make a mistake and it turns out even better.
The extra steps I did on the wall cabinet only took a minute and made a big difference. Those little added details help make minis look more realistic.
Really enjoyed watching this so relaxing to watch you work.
You are so creative. I love how you detail everything you do.
Thank you so much! Adding details is my favorite part
I love all you kit hacks! I have to try the wax…I’ve never used it and it really seems to make a difference! This turned out great.
It's my new favorite thing! I've never seen Chrysnbon look so good. I asked TinyKeyholeMinis how she gets such an amazing finish on her Chrysnbon pieces and she happily shared her secret.
@@queencityminis that’s great, yea Jolene is awesome!
I linked the kit in the description from a small business that happens to have great prices for these kits.
Delightful. Thanks for all the tips!
You are so welcome! This was a lot more fun than I expected. It's simple but so satisfying.
Turned out so cute. I love that you shout out other channels. Gina’s channel is amazing. I found out about her from you. Now I’m going to seek out Tinykeyhole minis. Thanks! Have a Happy Easter 🐇🐣!
Thank you so much! Make sure you watch TinyKeyholeMinis dollhouse tour videos. I've watched her bathroom tour at least 4 times. It is so my style.
@@queencityminis I will!
so beautiful 🏠
Thank you! 😊
Wow, these really turned out well, and EXTRA KNOBS! What a bonus. They would make excellent doorknobs. I am going to go search out some of these kits to complement my growing collection of unassembled kits that I will put together if I ever finish this flocking book nook to roombox conversion.
😂 these things always take more time than we expect. The extra knobs are so adorable. I love how true to scale Chrysnbon kits are.
The tiny hen on nest is so cute! Great work!
It's adorable. I'd love to paint one in a jade green color to look like vintage glass.
@@queencityminis Ehen I was young, my mother had several of those hen candy dishes. One was a beautiful clear, deep sky blue color, and I loved it so much! Everything in that kit was adorable, and you did a great job on them!
Beautiful work as always . Cheered me up to see you had posted today 😄 ty . X
I'm so glad! What a sweet thing to say :) I used to post on Fridays but I'm posting on Saturday mornings for the foreseeable future. Every week!
I know I say it every time I watch your tutorials but I always learn from you. The way you use paints and pastels and something as simple as gluing those tiny handles from the back. Don’t know if I would have thought of that! You did a wonderful job on these tiny pieces 💜💜💜
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate all of you
That is a neat little set. Love the way you painted them.
Thank you 🤗
The small box with drawers is a "spice cabinet" They were used in the 1800's. Of course it was always important to carefully store spices at that time and has been so for thousands of years. They were extremely expensive coming from far away places like India. I have an antique spice cabinet to this day in my kitchen. Old expired spices like, cinnamon sticks, sage leaves, or bay leaves, whole peppercorns and whole nutmeg find their way there. The smell from that old cabinet is wonderful....🤗
That's cool! Do the spices sit directly in the drawers? Or is there a liner?
@@queencityminis Hi, .. 🤗..so nice to rec. a comment from you...💻..To answer your inquiry,...the spices always sat directly in the drawers with no liner. They traditionally hung on the wall to free up tiny work spaces. Coubters were yet to be invented.The oils etc permeated the wood and thus that wonderful smell. ..😌..At the holidays I pull out a drawer or two especially the cinnamon and nutmeg ones and the scent is definitely there when you walk by..🥧.. Such fun to watch people's reactions when they notice. My box has been in the family since 1861.. Lightly written in pencil on the back with the owners name. Ladies were proud to have one then as it was considered 'special' to own one.
You do a wonderful job on your "decor"...🏡.. You've mentioned several times you take pictures..📸.. It'd be so interesting to know what kind. I made a Christmas town that I started many years ago, it's very primitive, no patterns, nothing even close to yours. (ie..I used match sticks for window frames) I even put an outhouse behind the house on the hill. ..😮..🏚️..(So funny!) I still find a tiny thing from time to time to add to it. Last year it was a tiny laser cut star for the top of the tree.🎄..Two years ago I played with my simple little camera and took pictures at what some would consider strange angles, ones you'd commonly not think about taking. A 'strangely' angled close up of the front of the church with the door and stairs. the doors are all decked out for the holidays. It appears like your walking into the church for holiday services..⛪.. I even came across a thumbnail bisque nativity for the side yard, at Walmart no less. I always keep my eye out for that little something, something. You just never know where you'll find one. Hallmark used to be one of those places for them ..🤷..as well as some good ideas to use. Another picture is a close up of the brick street running long ways instead of straight on with the shops running along side, a view you may have if you were walking down that little street. It makes me remember my childhood window shopping at the holidays. .🎁..I placed these photos on the front of folded cardstock and sent them as Christmas cards one year. ..📬..It was such fun to do,..☺️..I heard from several recipients that wanted to know "where" this town was .. LOL..😅.. I'v enjoyed your work immensely, they're true works of art..🏫🌳..I recently got turned on to the world of miniatures again after many years..⏳..I was dx'd with an autoimmune disease and needed a craft I liked that I could work on when I felt well enough. . Strangely enough one of your videos popped up on my feed. Long story short, you inspired my interest in the art. You're so open to sharing how you do these magical transformations.🎨🖌️... So many artists keep them secret. ...🤫... ( P.S....You'd mentioned on your 'old lab' .🔬..video you were open to your viewers suggestions ? Mine ?.🤷..One of the small metal industrial looking fans ?)..... Well,..if you'd excuse me I'v got one of your videos on pause...hee hee !..🤭.....Again, many thanks ..🏡
Great video. All the miniatures came out nice ❤
Thank you 🤗 This was more fun than I expected. There's a lot of room for customizing.
.I have sewing machine kit from this company . And I want this one too .love your tutorials .
Thank you :) I have never owned the sewing machine kit. Maybe I'll get one soon.
Um that's adorable!
And affordable!
Adorable. Love them.
Me too 😁
It's amazing what a simple paint wash can do for the details. It all looks great.
It's the simplest finishing touches that make the biggest difference like dry brushing, adding a wash and my fave, flocking.
This was great and enjoyed the tips. Diamond Glaze on my list.
Diamond Glaze is my new fave. It's replacing Dimensional Magic from Mod Podge. Diamond Glaze is available in multiple sizes. It's much cheaper.
It’s so funny I just ordered that same kit for one of my houses. Yours came out so lovely. I’m glad I watched your video, you’ve given me so many idea’s especially for the cabinet. Have a bless day 💐Happy Easter
That's great! It's funny how that happens.
I love that you gave the Antique Wax a try...the stand looks great with the black base and wood top..the wax just takes some practice and getting use to..so please don't get discouraged if you don't get the results your looking for in the beginning. I started with my diy crafts soo had lots of practice before applying it to miniatures. For the Chrysnbon kits it was just a trial thing and happened to work out..I use a testors model glue for those kits..In the beginning I wasn't sure what type of glue to use and saw a recommendation somewhere for the testors glue ..works really well takes a cple secs to take hold but it is a quick..strong and clear grip.
I've been getting notices that you are going live..am I missing the lives or is it just something wacky going on?!?
Anywho this kit is a fabulous kit..love all the pieces and I loved the white knobs! I'll have to catch up on the house you're working on...I have started the head of the old lady doll..I'll be working on her this week and hope to have the part up to share. I can't wait to get back into that room to start making these pieces and accessories for the sewing room. Ttys my friend! Great Job as always!!💖🥰
I love the Antique Wax! I used it on the Chrysnbon chair in the thumbnail photo as well. I knew I'd be a big fan. I'll need to watch your Dollar Tree transformation video again to hone my technique.
Perfect timing! I just got a bunch of re-ment Witch’s Cottage minis that I want to use in a project and I was wondering how to make them look more realistic since they’re plastic, and here you are! Thank you so much ❤
That's awesome! Here's my witch's cottage build. Maybe you'll get some ideas. I customized more plastic furniture in this video and made lots of simple DIY accessories. th-cam.com/video/uYm5I3AoONo/w-d-xo.html
Love this! I've used Diamond Glaze in the past when I got into paper quilling for a while; I had no idea it was so versatile!
Same here! I'm a Patreon of Bentley House Minis ($2/month!) Ara does weekly updates, live streams, BTS and we have our own Patreon project. Ara used Diamond Glaze on a stained glass window for the cardboard castle project she's making on Patreon. It looked amazing. I bought some from Amazon right away.
Hola so cute 😍🇲🇽 amazing
Thank you! 😃
"I went with the mistake" - made me giggle. Some kind of philosophy buried in there. Agree with the outcome. Love your aging techniques. How can I learn more about building things "to scale"? Is it as simple as saying that something if a foot tall is converted to 1/12 size it's 1" tall? Thank you for sharing your ideas, time and inspiration.
Going along with mistakes is a big theme of mine when making minis! Lol
th-cam.com/video/M_ooX1aXGFk/w-d-xo.html
This video from Bentley House Minis explains scale really well.
1:12 is just a foot equals 1", which is great. But you'll find lots of 1:12 miniatures are actually not true to scale. For example, commercially available canned food🥫 in "1:12" scale is 3/4", the equivalent of 9" tall in real life.
@@queencityminis Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and passing on this great video.
A fabulous kit hack! I enjoy your videos so much, I must find out where I can get these kits in the uk _ I didn’t see any at miniature but they always look so good with amazing details. Thanks as always for sharing! Xxx❤
I left a link in the description from the business I bought it from. I believe they do ship internationally. Their customer service is great so you could call them.
Cute set with lots of items. The kit included water based paint? I thought this company wasn't making these kits anymore? But that's interesting it came with some paint. Everything looks so real. Those chicken baskets were popular for a hot minute. In the 80's I got a variation on the theme, a ceramic dish, container with a sleeping white cat on a blue basket.
Yes! There's a type of water based stain included in the kits. They are still being made but you can also find vintage kits online. Sometimes the strain is dried up in those kits, even if it was never opened.
❤
Thank you 🙏
Nice pivot this week 😉 I love that antique wax technique, I did see Tiny Key Hole minis use that recently too and thought I will use that for sure. Also thanks for the shout out, it's a super easy trick to lift detail and so glad that it worked so well on the table. Bring on the time when we can out source all the editing and spend more time on creating 😂Love your work Shyra 😊
I asked Jolene what she uses to get her Chrysnbon pieces to look so realistic after watching her dollhouse tour videos. I still need to work on my technique but I already love the first couple uses.
When you painted that chair black, I raised an eyebrow but I LOVE how it turned out. This table looks so much more interesting with a contrasting base. The dry brushing really makes it work.
I can't even imagine being able to outsource the editing 😍 That would be amazing. Voiceover is the worst of it and I can't outsource that but I'd take some video editing help for sure. Someday (maybe).
You need to get a pair of sprue cutters
I just bought some from Temu. I'll be releasing a Temu Miniature haul video soon.
Where can you buy these kits ?
I put some links in the description. I get mine from a small business called Earth & Tree Miniatures. earthntree.com
@@queencityminis thanks👍😀
