I'm absolutely loving what you've done with this kit! I've been watching the progress, and when I first saw the kit at its earliest stages, I was worried that it looked a little rough. But now that you've put all this work into it -- especially painting it, adding the decor and filling it with 'loopsies -- it really does look like a wonderful home! Congratulations on persevering, despite some of the challenges you ran into.
As I'm beginning to explore miniature dioramas myself, there's a lot of inspiration to be found here. Lighting is especially confusing, and I've learned from your experiences with the original lights.
Also, I gotta say, these Lalaloopsies are cute. Even though they're small and relatively simple in construction, they seem to have so much personality.
