This
week we will be digging into those wiring supplies and making a
practice board. I am a strong believer in starting out this way
especially if you have never successfully wired a miniature project.
By working on the practice board we are taking a lot of the pressure
out of the project. If we mess up it won't hurt your project. You
have time and room to learn what you are doing and to get a real feel
for how to do it.
So
to create your practice board you will need the following:
a
piece of foamcore about 8” by 10”
the
wiring kit we talked about in part 1 (or the items that are in the
kit if you purchased them separately)
transformer
source
of electricity (outlet or extension cord that is plugged into your
house electricity)
screwdriver
that fits the screws in the transformer
needle
nose pliers
straightedge/ruler
pencil
scissors
sewing
pin
Take
plenty of time with your supplies and your practice board. This is
your opportunity to get comfortable with wiring.
Be
sure to contact me if you have any problems.
I wish your videos were around when I started my hobby of miniatures. I viewed your 2011 build (Toyland) videos to review for a project I'm planning. It seems easier to put tapewire and make many connections before you build the structure.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy l found your videos.
Your ideas in 2011 built have stayed with me especially the binder idea.
I hope to build the Buttercup house from Greenleaf with my 9 year old niece this summer. I told her to watch your videos. She's excited.
thanks I love your video and fuoud it very informative
