Grim’s cottage has moved on quite a bit in the last week, and it’s now in the exciting phase where things rapidly take shape – the main structure is now complete, and most of the wiring is done too. From the design side of things, it’s a case of keeping edges slightly out of kilter (but not to the point that it breaks), and also always trying to keep the design of an object as basic and simple as possible.

From the physical side of actual model making, these design choices certainly make the process of making things fit together tricky! But that in itself is really invaluable – the ‘what works and what doesn’t work’ process will make the end result that bit more believable.
