I absolutely love this artisan made kit from www.robinbetterley.com. I enjoy supporting small businesses and this kit was a joy! I had so much fun assembling this easy Secret Book kit. There are dozens of options, including a Murder series with miniature crime scenes inside the books.
The Sailing Secret Book kit:

Check out the other Secret Books:

I have lots of projects planned like abandoned miniatures, Dollar Store furniture makeovers, room boxes, dioramas and Dollhouse Miniature decor, furniture and accessories in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

Thank you for sharing another video. So glad you liked this kit. We will be adding more Secret Books to all of the different collections. 90 is not enough!!! Lol

You need to put these videos on your shop website. I only went there through a link in one of these videos and I think it would add a lot. It would help prospective buyers to understand what they get and to guide them through the process. I think some people might feel intimidated or just not sure. These videos would be perfect for you site!

Oh my goodness. I am in love with the secret room book. It just made my heart go pitter-pat and my brain to explode with all the potential….! That kit looks extremely well designed and engineered. I was super impressed with the fit and finish. When it came to the bookshelf, I swear I thought you were going to show us how to make real books with writing and all……….. 😂

You can probably squeeze the paint into a tiny container to keep it fresh so you don't have to stuff it back in :) I've also seen people just keep the paints in pallets, with a piece of cling film over the top

I've been in love with the look of RBM's finished kits for a little while now. Maybe a little over a year, but hadn't bought any in that time. I've finally bought some now that I'm working on a new house (her pretty minis didn't fit the style of my last house). I've been watching you for about a year now as well and I can't believe it's taken me this long to find out that you've built her kits on your channel. I'm a little sad that this is content I would have missed if I wasn't searching for videos of RBM kit assembling.

Hi Shyra. So cute. I am not that good with paint brushes especially with car models to make the paint look smooth. So I mainly use spray can or airbrush and use paint brush to cover the areas where was cut of the sprue. Later on would like to buy a very big Titanic model kit. I have got a wooden paint holder that I had to put together and glue

@@queencityminis 90 options!!!!!!!! Omg! I tried the link but the page wouldn't load, my tablet has no memory left. I had a friend with a yacht once, and the yacht club had sailboat races every week. I was able to go on one race and hold on for dear life as the boat leaned over to one side and the other, dipping the railings into the water. It was exhilarating , the water was all fluffy. The people who knew how to Sail were going nuts, all busy. I still don't know port and starboard. Why can't they do right and left? You could do another kit like this, but modify it and paint the background like the sea and sky, and have the boat in the water?

I have a "book" that opens and has a compartment inside - thinking of trying some 1:48 scale kits of hers to go in there... I had never considered 1:48 scale until I saw your witch's cottage. Now I really want to try it! By the way, the cottage is sold out. Probably best for me right now, as I DO NOT NEED MORE PROJECTS!! lololololol

I hate wasting paint 🤣 I usually use just a tiny amount of dip my brush right in the bottle. I really recommend 1:48! So much fun. I also have some 1:48 Betterley kits. I think I'll use them in shadow boxes, since I don't have a 1:48 house. Maybe I should make my own, kinda like Bentley House Mini did with her cardboard house. Hmm... That's too bad the cottage kits are sold out! They're so much fun. I'm going to the IGMA show in CT in September and taking a Jill Castoral class. I made my Wine Room box in a class of hers.
