CONGRATULATIONS TO
MICHELLE RICE OF HEMEL HEMPSTEAD
WHO PLACED A WINNING BID OF......
£300.00!!
Huge thanks to Michelle and everyone who took the time to bid. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
This is a unique scene created in 1/12th scale by us initially as a "how to make project" that will appear in Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine in January and February issues 2012. It is of an old back yard based on an era long before wheelie bins were but a twinkle of the imagination, some five decades ago! The New Year’s Eve party was well and truly over and the remnants of the festive season were crammed into the rusty old dustbin. Much had spilled over into scruffy boxes and onto the crazy paving, with its frozen icy puddles and a dusting of frost. Winter foliage surrounds the scene and a tree, almost bare of all leaves, stands proudly in front of an old weathered fence. Brian the blue tit hungrily tucks into his grub on the bird feeder.
The base measures 7" x 5" and the overall height to the top of the tree measures 12"
VERY IMPORTANT -PLEASE READ
