Building a grocery store (model)

Bought this model of a grocery store at Taiwan and decided to make it for my sister's birthday. I was taken aback by the difficulty of it though. Yah, my arts sucks, but working with miniature stuff is just crazy.

So here's the cover of the packaging:

And the back showing the contents:

It comes with an instruction manual too:

The various parts:

Building the crate. I hate the smell of the glue.

One part down. I hadn't expected the price labels to be so small. Had to use double-sided tape in the end because the glue didn't stick very well...

Making the sack of yellow what-nots:

Done! Don't think I did it correctly though...

Wooden planks for the shelf:

Materials to make jars of tea leaves (the body is actually plastic tubing):

Tying the golden wire around a malleable 1-cm plastic tubing with that small piece of cloth is enough to drive anyone crazy... Seriously.

Candy jars:

This is supposed to be preserved fruit... xD

Materials for the blackboard:

Blackboard. Didn't have pen with white ink... And they didn't provide chalk!

A small piece of wood and a strip of black paper...

And you get a blackboard duster!

Materials for weighing scale:

Materials for hawthorn string:

Materials for the top of the shop:

The finished product!!! Not very stable because the glue isn't very sticky...haha... Don't know how to keep out the dust tho... :P
