Come Build My Sunshine Town Book Nook With Me - Part 1

I have wanted to get a book nook for ages. I did try to build my own from scratch at one point but it was a bit of a disaster.
Then I saw these fantastic Rolife craft kits from my local craft store and knew that I had to give it a go. Come join me as I construct it from start to finish in this new series.
As always I would love it if you could like and subscribe :)

You’re a lifesaver 😭 I’ve never done anything like this and when I opened the box I was overwhelmed and I really needed a step by step video. Thank you so much for posting this!

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! 😀

I just got this very same "Book Nook" kit myself. I've built plastic model kits for over half a century, and I was looking for something a bit . . . different. And like you noted at 0:58, this kit looks pretty overwhelming, (and I've built and rigged the 1/96th scale Revell "Cutty Sark" ship model kit . . . .) I'm grateful that you posted this video that I may refer to as a trailblazing guide when I begin this project. Thanks!

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,it is really helpful.I am following you rather than the instructions.Btw, in my book nook box there was neither glue nor paint.

[@milesbydesign]

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 😀

[@nievicasg7610]

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

[@annscanlan8136]

Thank you. When I start I shall be following you as the instruction book is all in Chinese!

[@milesbydesign]

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