This is only the second model I’ve built in my life. Definitely made a couple of mistakes along the way, but I decided not to get upset about them and just kept rolling with it.

For the base I used sticks and dirt I found outside - baked the dirt in the oven, mixed it with PVA, and this is the result.

Still have a lot to learn, but I had a ton of fun building this one.

My grandma from Ukraine sent me this silver podstakannik with a matching silver spoon. I always associated these with old train rides and tea served in glass cups.

Really like the weight and detail on it — feels like one of those objects made to last forever.
