Now the only remaining question is: where should I leave these so we’ll be sure they are accessible and retreiveable for the picnic?
the PR closet is where things are getting hoarded.

can I bring something to the picnic?
Of course. Look at the picnic discussion and at the bottom I’ve listed a link to the page to list what people are bringing.
The room box for Gepetto’s studio is (more or less) finished. It’s a two-walled corner inside of a book. Everything is from scratch except the shutter hardware.
Many thanks to @TLAR for printing and laminating the book cover at his gallery. And @uglyknees gave me good advice on working with Paperclay - this my first attempt at such.
I used the lasers to cut “forms” to shape the bricks and stones and to etch the “grout lines” in the paperclay interior floor. Typically miniaturists score lines with a knife but I wanted them jaggy to resemble real bricks/stones. I also laser cut the leaves for the trees and individually painted, veined and shaped them.
After the interior brick sections were dry, I used the laser to cut 1/8" plywood so I didn’t have to apply 1/8" thick plaster around those bricks.
The clay roof tiles were made from Polymer clay, dusted with pastels, and baked atop a form I made using my micro-lathe (then finished with a little moss and a bird’s nest).

Ps when you’re done and the door is all healed (oh a foot pun) you should take yourself to Florence to celebrate.

I wish there was a way to do more than “Like” this. It looks AMAZING, Chris! Great job! I can’t wait to see the completed project.

Yes, button you can only use once every 90 or 180 days … Chris would have a good portion of them.

LIke everyone else has said, “I"m in awe”. You should be doing this kind of work for a museum.
It is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with your DMS friends.
