Yesterday when I was out shopping popped into Toy Store for some model paint, then into spot light, only planning to get paint brushes, but I ended up finding loads of awesome coloured card, so I thought perhaps the Cafe should have some wallpaper, so I bought some, and these cute little photo frames.
And so my cafe was ready for some nice updating.
Mikuru prepares the cafe for renovations, stacking up the furniture and covering it so it doesn't get dirty.
Inspecting the first lot of wallpaper to be put on. This used a lot of time because I had to measure and cut and fold the side walls, the back wall it is just blue tacked to wall, the sides however are taped to card board walls and then walls blue tacked to the table and wall.
Hanging up the pictures. Just blue tacked to the wall, the photo's inside are some of the pictures I took of my figures, cropped and scaled down to size, looks really good.
Also switched the side that the stage was on, and made some little make-shift guitar stands out of folded card board, they tacked in place.
Mikuru was very exhausted after the whole affair, but now her Cafe looks grand.
It says in the title part one of Third stage, as I am going into hobby shop to get more paint, and perhaps a few more picture frames next week Wednesday!
Watch this space, Mikuru's cafe is very near completion.

All out I see! Looks awesome so far. The new theme of your site looks better too, great work. White is always more cheerful :P
Yeah the new layout is a lot brighter, :) but it took a bit of editing to get it too work, as the template is made for a wordpress blog I believe.
Cool... we have the same project... it's just I keep on scrapping every new design that I can imagine... it's hard for me to decide what color to use for the wall...looking at your work in progress, now I plan to also put those photo frames (nice - stealing your idea... hahahaha). I also need to order more of those Cafe Table set from HLJ... good things about you is that you have that painting skills... something I don't dare to try.
lol awesome, and no probs steal away, I am happy to help, as long as you show me the finished project. And yeah I took a while picking wallpaper! there was so many nice designs. I got most of my Cafe furniture from Ebay, which is great :D as for painting I have never painted models before but I did painting art at highschool so I thought I would give it a try!
