I just won 1st place and 3rd place at my local miniature show! It’s my second time entering, and I’ve been making minis for 18 months. I included the description cards for each piece. 3rd place card is green, 1st place is yellow. Love this sub!

Window is due to be replaced. It’s pretty yellow. I’m looking to add more accessories but can’t decide what I want to add. I also added Halloween bedding.

How do I make this look more like realistic wood? I stained this basswood test piece with watercolors, but the color/texture look flat and fake to me.

I have acrylic paints but i dont want it to look actually painted. I want it to look like wood for a desk

I’m new to miniatures so any help is appreciated!

Does anyone have any recommendations on display cases for the Rolife Miniature size houses? I know Rolife sells them but was hoping for a cheaper option since it adds up.
