I started this at the beginning of 2020. I friend and her husband were stuck in a home-office situation in their ver nice but smallish apartment. This prompted me to dream a little with them... Here now, after three years, the result on my youtube channel 'marion russek 1:12': https://youtu.be/al1efznfppo At the end of this video, there is a short section on 'make of' as well.

I neglected this blog somewhat and a follower now inspired me to post again. Thanks Michael.. First of all: I completed the video of the 'Boulevard Haussmann' top floor appartment! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxlFUET4kx8&t=1s And - yes - I did work with Kapaline foamboard. For the lower floor walls I used 3X10mm walls in order to get the necessary recess for the windows. At the moment I am busy as projet manager in real life with the renovation of a terrasse roof garden. The roof hat to be replaced and this was the opportunity for the owner to make something beautiful - especially si ..read more

Tutorial scale 1;12 round modern wood Dining Table

You need: ·      basswood, thinner one for the legs, thicker (3-4mm) for the top. ·      balsa for the centerpiece ·      Sanding paper and patience I started off by making a prototype in cardboard. The most important was that the legs looked proportionally right. Once happy with the look, I cut a tabletop and sanded it on the disc sander to a perfect 12cm circle. Then I sanded the edges so that the appearance of the tabletop became elegant. Then I used this template to make 4 legs. Best to wrap the basswood with masking tape because it easily chips when cutting ..read more

The two floors of my pied-a-terre in an Haussmann Building in Paris are nearly complete. Waiting for Dorota to come back to send me a coffe machine, trying to decide what on the kind of dining table and chairs and a few other things in the lounge. Easy.... the right idea will come in good time. And then I will show the pix.. So, now to the upper floor in this apartment: The slanted roof on two sides (it is a corner house) were tricky because I wanted to fit window-doors in there as well. Loved to figure this out :-) When it came to hide the window trimming inside, I decided ..read more

Mini got hold of me again! And I started my next project: a Parisian pied-à-terre on the top two floors of a typical building in Boulevard Haussmann in Paris. This totally different and new style really tempted me.... Here the design I made for the house. I focus on the apartment right now - whether I do the three remaining levels below this ... not sure yet. Walls: I decided not to paint but rather use a nice color paper. Windows: we recently got a fablab (public space with laser cutters, 3d printers, felt-press, etc.) in our town. So, I decided to laser the windows with cardstock. Bu ..read more

Uff, it took me a while to finish this. But motivation is not the same every day ;-) Well it is done now and I have made two videos over the past three weeks. It is incredible how long it takes to make an interesting short film!!! The cutting an assembling for both videos was done in about 12 hours. But selecting the right pix, fixing the exposure, etc. And finding the right tools to make a clip that was steady and had the right focus. Very time-consuming and sometimes frustrating... you think you have it all just to see that something has fallen down, or the windows have too much glare from ..read more

and that it why the sofa HAS to be leather!! I personally would not even consider leather as an option because I always slide around on this material. But all my male friends are totally set on leather couches.... Granted, with a carpet and some accessories leather looks pretty cool! The reading spot that clamps onto the iron pole needed a bit of creativity. I found the shade in a model building shop for ship models. After spending some one hour in there I found these metal parts, hoping that I could use them for the clamp.. And now this guy needs a TV and some sort of a bookshelf ..read more

Going to the 1:12 Fair in Rheda, Germany, and seeing my mini friends has inspired me again! So, I finally completed the kitchen in my loft. I thought that this kind of apartment does not need a kitchen fan - enough air circulating ;-) I found these handles in a shop for model airplanes. Here some details... Note the light in this cupboard and I managed to put rails for the shutter on the sides. Bending the brass without losing the grove of the rail was the challenge... The toaster and kettle are from Minifanaberia - just perfect as always!I even fround garlic, onions and potatoes for the bas ..read more

It has been a while - but then: I was in South Africa for a while and came back with more of this funky fabric. I finally could make a real cover for my real life sofa!! Gervasoni Ghost sofa cover My new-old home is now pretty much how I wanted it. Except for a custom made hallway console table. I scouted without being successful. So, I designed my own fit-to-measure. First a mini model... And in the end, it all turned out differentlv :-).... Not terribly active on the mini side at this moment. I had to catch up at the business front and now that the inside of my house is done, the garden ..read more
