I just discovered this interesting forum of WenXueCity because of the ongoing HobbyShow event. I have a hobby to share and am curious about writing an essay in English :), which reminds me of the old school days.

My hobby is making mini model houses. I made my first model using paper when I was seven years old.  That was a 7-story apartment building that had a lot of balconies. I got the idea from a colored picture in my arts textbook from school. Unfortunately, my arts teacher never taught this part in the class.

Having been lost in the daily necessities for many years, I began to make model houses last year. My models were primarily made of 5mm thick foam board that is light and easy to cut. However, it still took me a while to grasp a decent cutting skill so that my knife blade stands perpendicular to the surface of the board. Once I got a hang of the basic skills and know my glues and tools better, I was able to indulge in the fun of model making completely. It is amazing how much satisfaction a scale model can bring to us. I feel like I am a "giant" when looking at a miniature house from above!

A picture is worth a thousand words.

House#1 – One-story house

This house is of approximately 1,800 sf with one bedroom, one study room and other common areas. It would be great for a couple without kids. I spent quite some time to design and make the garage door opener and it worked perfectly.

House #2 – Two-Story House

This is a 1:45 model of my own house! I plan to take the model with me as a memory after I sell this house one day.

House #3 – WIP Two-Story Doll House

This is a current project that is still in progress. I am making this doll house for a little friend. Although this will be a doll house, I spent a lot of thinking to design the floorplan as if I would love to live in it. Cannot wait to give the house to my little friend Jacquelin!

As a big fan of photography, I also make videos of the building process and share them on my YouTube channel. If you want to know more about my model making process, find them on my youtube channel (YQJ_云起居) or my wenxuecity blog.

Thanks for reading!
