Not wargaming or chaos dwarf related but a kind of hobby “adjacent “ project.
Before my little girl was born, my wife found a vintage doll’s house in a charity shop and fell in love with it. She was hesitant to buy it. We had sadly lost a pregnancy before we luckily fell pregnant the second time with my Isobel but she was very worried about getting anything for a child as at that early stage she felt like it was bad karma or “jinxing it” or something. I encouraged her to buy it, being the optimistic bastard I am, and told her when her little girl was old enough, we could decorate the doll’s house.
We’ve stored this massive object for nearly 4 years!
Our little girl is now old enough and this Christmas she will find out that Santa’s elves have built and decorated a doll’s house for her.
My dad used to make dolls houses, although he ran out of steam on making them once my sisters were too old for theirs. It’s more special when you make it and decorate it for your own family. I used to love looking through the magazines and catalogues long before I discovered Warhammer, there is something I find fascinating about the skill and craftsmanship in making miniature representations of buildings and cities, including things like railways.
