Klaas Vaak

2012-03-01T10:24:00.001-08:00

I have justed started a new project: a house for Klaas Vaak and his wife Vrouwtje Vaak, according to a Dutch farytale but I have made it my very own story;0)

Currently working on the kitchen for the gnome couple.

My backyard with dogs and ducks in scale 1:12 made in a fishtank 60 x 40 cm.

I wanted to make a place for my 1:12 dogs to sit in. Dogs are by Dolores van den Akker.
The collie died years ago. That is the beauty of 1:12, you can bring your dog back alife and have him play with the dogs you still have, same with your ducks ;0)
I still need to make some more of my full size ducks in miniature in time. I want to make lots of birds for this project also etc. etc.
