Alice in Wonderland Room

Back in March of this year I built a small clock with two rooms in that light up. It was the souvenir kit from the Micro Mini Convention. I have slowly been planning what to put in the room boxes and finally decided upon an Alice in Wonderland theme. The first room is the hallway that she lands in after falling down the rabbit hole. With large doors and then one small door. On the glass table is a bottle with a label saying drink me.

Here is the empty room box.

A bit of wallpaper and some larger scale floor paper and its a room.

I cut up a 48th scale door to make two bottom halves for the larger doors. The small door is 144th scale.




I then used a 48th scale glass table kit from Karen Carys Miniatures. The bottle is also 48th scale.
I added a drink me label (easier said than done!!!)


Then I slotted the room box back into the clock, and switched on the lights.


A close up of the room with the lights on.


The 2nd room to go underneath I am thinking will be the white rabbits house and an over sized Alice - some more planning is needed for that one!

You clever thing! What a lovely idea, that room in the movie is my altime favourite scene - I remember thinking at the time that it would make a lovely miniature scene, and here you've pipped me to the post!!!

ha ha that has made me laugh Liesl because it is always my favourite scene in the films too. I was fairly limited with what I could fit into the tiny room box. It might be fun to make a slightly bigger one with a lot more detail sometime.

I've just found this while looking at your Pickett Hill posts - what a clever idea, so creative and as always beautifully executed.
