How It Works Explore the Miniatures

Illustrative concept imagery

A simple, satisfying process.

Turn a set of laser-cut pieces into a miniature with a bit of glue, a splash of colour and your creativity. No cutting required.

  1. Illustrative laser-cut plywood cottage pieces with dark cut edges laid out before assembly

    01Assemble

    Start with pre-cut wooden pieces, ready to build.

  2. Illustrative unpainted plywood cottage walls fitted together with visible laser-cut edges

    02Glue

    Fit the pieces together and watch it take shape, with guidance along the way.

  3. Two hand-painted plywood cottages with red and brown roofs, visible laser-cut edges and trees on green bases

    03Paint

    Bring it to life with your colours and personal touch.

Steps 1 and 2 are illustrative process examples. Step 3 shows actual hand-painted models. Pieces and finishing time depend on your selected project.
