Today we can unveil a very special project commissioned by Dolls House and Miniature Scene Magazine to be published in the August Issue which will be on sale next week. We hope readers will enjoy the project and perhaps be inspired to create an authentic and naturalistic beach scene themselves, as this is a very special and detailed 'how to ' project.

This is another project for the magazine by Celia Thomas and me in our joint
Nostalgia in Miniature Workshops style and although it was a long time in the planning and building we've thoroughly enjoyed it.
We so enjoyed the project - the research too - aiming to get the Victorian details just right, and also just the right selection of natural materials for the groynes, sea wall and promenade and of course the rocks and beach. We were determined that our rather splendid bathing machine should be pushed right to the water's edge and developed a simple but effective method for creating the sea.

| The Beach and the Victoria Promenade |
Many of you will know that through the Workshops we fundraise in support of Breast Cancer Campaign and following publication we are able to offer the completed, detailed landscaped base with fixtures for sale, as shown, with 50% being donated to the charity. Although we have created a Victorian scene, the basic beach and two-tiered scene can of course be a lovely setting for a scene from then right up to the present day.
Individual components which were created especially for the scene are for sale separately and full details can be seen on our promotional page on our Nostalgia in Miniatures Workshops website, together with further details of the landscaped base.
