Finish it off Friday: Stool pigeon

This week I decided to start working on the oldest kits in my stash:

 This is a round stool kit from Small Pleasures, one of the first dolls' house shops I visited in Australia, and still in business...

But, finally I managed it and now I just have to wait for the glue to dry before I start on the painting.

Other bloggers are joining the 'Finish it off Friday' challenge. Here's a round up of those I know about (please leave a link in the comments if you're also doing it and consider tagging your post with #FinishitoffFriday so it's easy to find!)

Lorraine from Fairy Meadow Miniatures has renamed her challenge 'C.K.(ie: Creating Kit) Day, and has completed a Victorian book stand and cookbook kit, and a step stool.

Mad for Mod at Mini Mod Pod has used the challenge to mend some miniatures, finish a bed and make some lamps.

Pepper from Mitchymoo Miniatures made some Miracle Gro for her shed, a DIY vacuum-forming machine, morphed the concept into 'Still at it Sunday' to install the windows for her loft apartment, then continued the theme to install windows in Fenton Lodge.
