Making the sweet shop

(Left) I started by using the templates I had created from my white model to make the parts I needed.  I used three layers of ticket card instead of mount board as the sweet shop is circular and mount board would be too thick to use.  I glued the window sills on before bending the three levels of the sweet shop together.  I couldn't completely put the sweet shop together until I had painted the window frames and put the windows in place, which were made from acetate that I had printed the window design on.

 (Right) In these pictures I was making the shop window, I made it out of mount board and painted it a wood effect.  I then made sweets for the window out of Sculpey and foil and painted them bright colours.  The window seemed to to look a bit empty when I put it together to see what it looked like, I realised that it was missing a shelf.  So I made one to fit inside and made some bowls and put beads in for sweets, then stuck the window pane and window sill/shelves in place.  I put three arches in a couple of millimetres apart so that it would give the curve of the top of doorway more structure.  The next step was to paint the door and window sills and then the main sweet shop.
