On October 1, 2016, ten members of the Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild got together to build this year's "Bunk & Trundle Bed" 2016 NAME Day kits. Edna Perkins hosted the event and made sure everyone had everything they needed. Our club ordered the NAME Day kits from S&S Furniture Company in 1:12, 1:24, and 1:48. Many thanks to S&S for providing such great kits!
As optional add-ons, we could choose from a chest of drawers or a side table. The bunk bed sets came with mattresses and ladders. Here you can see the 1:12 and 1:48 kits that were put together by an OCBMG member in advance. Pre-built kits are fantastic for these events so everyone has a chance to see what the finished product "should" look like (although kit-bashing and wild creativity are entirely welcome and encouraged):
This is the 1:48 version of the beds, showing off the ladder:
It's really fun to watch people work on the same kit in different scales. These two members are working on 1:12 (left) and 1:48 (right):
And this member is working on 1:24. She's holding a Minwax Wood Finish Stain Marker. Many of us used the exact same stain color for our beds -- Early American. It was a very popular stain, indeed:
Lois Andres brought us some goodies as well -- chocolates and pretty, homemade pillows for the beds. Thank you, Lois!
Edna gifted everyone who came with the official NAME Day 2016 pin from the home office. Thank you so much, Edna. These little treats are so fun to receive:
See you again next year!
