Miniature Gypsy Caravan: December 2012
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 December 2012. The painting and gluing has begun. Painting and gluing has begun. I have to say, hats off to Mr McQueen because this caravan is very straightforward to put together and could be put together in a very short time indeed if one did not have to endure time consumed while waiting for paint and glue to dry. I tried painting these plastic windows, I believe it will work but not for the door windown which must be re-made a-new. This and the pic below are the main body coming together.

Miniature Gypsy Caravan: October 2013
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 October 2013. The inside of the black beads looks like coal when broken down. Next I fitted the wood inside the stove. You can see inside and it looks really effective. Mind that rusty looking stove now, its been well used ;). I didn't want an open area above the stove so in keeping with authenticity I decided to close it off and add a little shelf much like the RL caravans I have viewed. I also added a purple outline to all the cupboards and shelves. Now I'm off to make some couches. Living a...

Miniature Gypsy Caravan: An update and a Tutorial
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2013/06/an-update-and-tutorial.html
Tuesday, 25 June 2013. An update and a Tutorial. Hello there mini friends…. We've had some rainy days but it's Wimbledon and my grandma always used to say that this was the best time to catch the sun and she was right because today is beautiful so I popped outside to take even more pictures of the caravan. First off the latest pictures. As you can see I've done a bit more painting just to bring it all in line. I may still add more, I'm trying to be careful so as not to over-kill :). YOu will need a tiny ...

Miniature Gypsy Caravan: Transfers and stove
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2013/03/transfers-and-stove.html
Friday, 8 March 2013. Hello mini friends…. The caravan is moving forward… I decided against adding the wheels yet because I thought I may break them when trying to kit out the interior. So I continued with my transfers. I popped on the door frames inside and out. Next I decided I’d tackle the slightly daunting task of gluing on tiles around the stove area. I began to glue them in place making sure they were not too neat but not too untidy either. And here it is finished…. 8 March 2013 at 05:05. Wow fanta...

Miniature Gypsy Caravan: February 2013
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 11 February 2013. The roof and outer walls. The caravan is coming along, on the outside at least. I have made the roof now and although I did want windows up top like a real one, I chickened out due to lack of time and lack of skill in woodwork. While I might be creative with many other mediums wood is not my thing and cutting such small windows out was not going to work for me so I gave in and decided to decorate the roof instead. Here are some pictures of the roof being created. Oh you remember...

Miniature Gypsy Caravan: January 2013
http://miniaturegypsycaravan.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 January 2013. Bead curtian and more painting. Hello there, well the caravan project is running at a gentle pace. Lately I’ve been mainly painting, gluing and modifying things and researching real size caravans of the same sort too. Research forms a massive part of miniature creation. I noted that most caravans have a closed off stove area, often with a tilled back and a mirror and sometimes a small shelf for ornaments above the stove, much like if it were a fireplace. I was painting more secti...
