Work in Progress - Shepherd's Hut

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by small things, and today one of my favourite genres in photography is macro and close-up work.

When I'm not out enjoying the fresh air with the camera or singing in a choir, I enjoy scale modelling, in particular building, decorating and furnishing doll's houses.  I have 10 models (I think!) in various states of completeness ranging from 1:12th scale (1inch = 1 foot) down to a "doll's house doll's house" 1:144 scale (1inch = 12 feet). 

This one is a 1:48th scale (1/4 inch = 1 foot) of a Shepherd's Hut which I am building from a kit - as you can see, the landscape still needs working on, as does the interior of the hut.

My doll's houses have provided a good source of Blips (both considered and as emergency blips) along the way.  Some of my personal favorites are a 1/48th scale scratch built model of Exeter's "House that Moved"; a lovely little  1/144th kit of a country cottage and a visit to the kitchen in the model the 1/12th scale model house incoprorating the model shop which started the collection off.
