However, I can forget about 'easy', because this chair was not as easy as I thought it would be. When searching through my container with all the kits I came across this, quite modern, chair and I could picture it in my contemporary shop. The chair is actually a set of four, with four different animals as a back rest, but I only had this one, so I figured it would fit nicely in the shop, which consists of odds and ends anyway.
It was a lot of work, quite fiddly, but I am happy with the result and it got me back into miniatures again. The animal had to be cut out with the scroll saw and the legs and back rest are connected with wooden 'pins', so I had to drill holes in the tops of the legs and the dowels. Not an easy task. The legs went alright, the dowel protested heavily, but the parts that didn't go too neatly have been covered up by the upholstery!
The upholstery is by way of woven ribbon in two colours. It was something I had always wanted to do, so that worked out well. And here's the chair:
It probably looks a bit too clean and new, but so does the rest upstairs. A bit further down the track I may do something about it, but not just yet.
No idea what comes next. I will ponder over that and you will find out when I post another update. See you then.
