Winter Garden

[Norton74]

Winter Garden

This diorama was on my wishlist since a long time. My goal was to recreate a welcoming room full of plants and flowers while using many pieces from the Scala, Fabuland and Belville series.
I have been collecting these kind of pieces in the past few months, and have finally placed them in my Winter Garden.
If you look carefully you'll notice many Scala pieces like the award ribbon, the watering cans, the cloth rug, the chairs, the wicker baskets and the suitcase. Even the white cat waiting for the mouse on the chair.
The coffee-table legs are  linked via the Scala towel bar, a piece I had never heard of, but very interesting.



I also added a couple of Fabuland utensils: the camera on the cabinet and the jerry can. There are many plants and flowers and I used different kind of utensil to create the plants supports (hockey sticks for the cactus, brooms for the ficus).



There are many others details and NPU, have fun spotting them!
It was very funny building it and it's something different from my usual comfort zone. Hope you like it!

Clever use of gator tail and green spikes. Love the radio, table cupboard design!! Well done!!

[Curbthetide]

Love the build, it looks so real!  I especially like the 'picture' of the ship on the wall.  Well done!

  I like it very much and every time I look at it, I find new details, elements or techniques of construction, interesting, bravo

This is a masterpiece ...but I'm not surprised since we're talking about @Norton74 !
I really like the design of the objects, especially the cabinet door with the wicker finish ...that piece of furniture reminds me of the hotel room from the first 007 movie License to Kill ...great work!

This is fantastic. It looks so life like. Even knowing it’s not, it’s hard to tell. Those cabinet doors are especially noteworthy, the detailing is impressive. And I love all the plant life. And the staring contest happening.

This is incredible.  I've never had a green thumb, but this not only inspires one to build an interior scene, but also create a winter garden.  Unique and most creative!  

[Actionfigure]

Very cosy! The lemon tree is spot on!
