Blacksmith (building) and Metal Smiths (Minis)

[oldschooldm]

I've completed my Blacksmith by Mystic Mountain Productions and populated it with Imperfect Metal Smiths minis by DrywTheHarper.

I did some serious mods to this kit to make it have a playable interior. I'm very happy with the results. And as a bonus, the main house folds up!

Here are a selection of the best photos I took of this model. The entire 45 photo album is here:

Workshop roof comes off!


So does the Main House roof...





The Dormer Mod with books and stuff there...


Pop out the second floor - and the shop-level appears!


Then, BAM! Take the walls out completely (held down with magnets and bobby pins...):


Here's the individual elements that can be removed/placed independently...



Here's the model with minimum storage space...

Goodbye!

That's a really nice build! Good job!

Is that forge section not a little delicate though?

Fantastic job on the modifications! The interior looks great. Nice too that the model can be broken down. Awesome work!

The front-frame of the workshop is the most fiddly part of this build - it needed the support of the bobby pins to be sturdy enough to break-down and store.

The original model, glued to the base would still be fiddly getting the parts aligned properly (the excellent instructions and printed guidelines help with this) but would be much sturdier. Either way the result is totally worth it!

I've been consistently impressed with the Mystic Mountain Productions line of models and look forward to Jerry's next model with great anticipation.
