Honeydukes sweetshop progress photos

During the long 5 months working on my Honeydukes I took many photos along the way. Here are a few showing the kit as it is build. Please see my previous post for the completed project.

Spiral staircase made of a fan, spindles, dowel and balsa wood

Stonework

After grouting 

The coarsed stone bricks and grout were purchased from Richard Stacey. They were really easy to break into halve pieces when needed.

Tiles were created using sticky back plastic. Rub on letter transfers were used on the coving.

Polymer clay sweets and cakes ready to be baked (including jelly slugs, chocolates and fudge)

Fudge, nougat, coconut ice, Jelly slugs on eye shadow trays

Chocolates

Cakes, chocolate strawberries

Egg box stones

Small pieces of balsa wood were used to create beams on the ceiling. Using egg boxes I cut bricks and stuck them to a block wood to create a chimney stack for the side of the building.  A mix of grey, silver and brown acrylics were used painting the bricks to make them look like stone and moss was added.

I cut MDF with a jigsaw to build the roof extension and glued in place using wood glue. A hole was also cut for 'access' to the top bedroom.

Painted roof tiles awaiting snow fall (using scenic snow)

Acrylics were used to paint the paperclay tiles. Grey, blue and brown were used. I then covered the roof  in glue where, I wanted snow to sit and poured over scenic snow. This was very messy and needed several coats, layer by layer.
