yeah the roof annoyed me for what felt like weeks lol!
Wow that’s amazing Hatter!! I don’t have the patience with projects that small typically. Hopefully they keep it in the family for a long time
Nice job hatter, she looks like she loved it.
Great job! That’ll last her a lot longer than a store bought one would have.
I know she loves you

The last pic, those red eyes with that grin kinda creeped me out…lol. I like the doll house though =) very thoughtful.

Sorry for the late reply, i haven’t been on here in forever! it entirely wood and wood glue. I think it was called like drawer liner of something at home depot. For the design i tried to copy the movie as closely as i could. I basically gathered a bunch of screen shots of the castle in the film and tried to visualize it. Basically since its a snow flake type thing, everything is hexagonal or based of 6 somehow. 6 sides to the main part, 6 towers, 6 sides pyramid for the top, etc. I drew out most things on printer paper, and sometimes made exact paper models. Then traced those lines onto the wood and cut and sanded to fit. If i had multiple pieces that were supposed to be identical I cut them all out on the outside of the line, then clamped them together and used a hand plane to get them all the same on each side. Then used high grit sand paper to smooth it out. Clamping a hexagon together to let the glue dry is tough. ( i used a lot of masking tape to hold things until they dried)
Welcome back Hatter and once again U did a great job.
