Hello everyone! This is the next video in the miniature Japanese ryokan which is a hot spring
hotel DIY kit. So I'm still waiting on the pieces from the manufacturer that will replace the ones
that were broken or missing. It's on its way in the mail though so I will keep you updated on that
still. I have bought some more supplies to continue my journey. I have some paintbrushes,
round and flat, different types here for acrylics and watercolors. I bought some acrylic paint
that I didn't have so I have general colors already in a big set but these ones are special.
They're pearly, silver, and gold. So I actually kind of want to use the gold. So this this is one
of the wood types that are the three main wood types in this DIY. They have a plain wood type
here and they have like a dark wood type here. So this is very Japanesey
like color and the plain wood as well is very natural color. Now this in the manual it talked
about pieces like this and the colors would vary according to like the batch coloring.
So in my opinion it's a little too peachy for me and I think I want to paint them gold. So
in a lot of Japanese traditional like woodwork places for example like a castle or something
you'll see accents of gold. Me painting all of these gold might be a little odd but I'm gonna
try it and see how they turn out just because I want three colors that I like. So the dark wood,
the natural wood, and gold I'm gonna go with. So that's gonna slow down the process a little bit
but I'm gonna try to keep you guys updated doing regular updates, trying to post some small videos
a couple times a week. So if you'd like to subscribe, like, follow my journey that would be
great. I will keep you updated panel at a time probably. So I worked on the next panel
in the manual. So last update I did these six and they were a bunch of small ones but this
next one was a little difficult. So I just did one panel and it was making all of these tiny
little plants. So in this process the paper, I guess I could call it crepe paper,
is like one large piece and you have to cut it yourself and I wasn't sure which direction to cut
it. I followed the this one here first so that kind of mimics the picture. A lot of the instructions
and these manuals are a little unclear. They kind of give the general you know idea of what
you're supposed to do but you kind of got to figure out some things yourself. So for example
you're supposed to cut 20 by 30 millimeters from the large piece for this of I-13 for this part of
the DIY and it doesn't really tell you the direction. You just kind of gotta look at this
picture and hope that you're matching the direction of the pattern because the crepe paper kind of has
a pattern in it. So I did one that was like this picture and tried it and then I tried the
other way as well and I actually like the other way more. So I'll show you a close-up of those.
So here are what they look like in the finished product. Maybe I can get it to focus.
There we go and this is the one that I did the opposite pattern than what they recommended.
Let me grab the one that in the manual matched this pattern. As you'll see it cut a lot easier
with this one and the leaves are straighter so it made for posing the plant a lot easier.
But I kind of liked the craziness of these other ones because I think plants are more
it's more natural to look like this. I have some herbs that I keep and feed my rabbits and
they're crazy like this. I'm always trying to untangle them and keep some kind of semblance
of order but they're just not and I think this looks more natural with the little pieces that
make the flowers. Whereas here they're just kind of sitting in random places and it's a little odd.
So I actually liked when I cut it this way the crepe paper versus this way. So I had to make
three pink ones. I made two my way and one their way and I did two red ones. So as you can see them
all here they're a little bit crazy. I have glue all over my hands and it's really hard with long
nails to do a lot of this detail work. Luckily I had some like needle nose tweezers and I could
kind of dab things and just like press things and glue that kind of helped to make these. These are
like these little beads down here. It's difficult to get them to stand. I assume whenever we put
them into the finished product we'll probably be gluing them down just to make sure that they don't
ever fall with any kind of light breeze because they're very top heavy. But anyway that's this
next panel that I did and the next one will be this table. So I started cutting the placemats.
This is another piece that they had printed. That way you're going to glue those down but I do not
want to do that yet until I start the painting process. So I'm actually going to try it and
I'll get back to you guys soon after this is painted and maybe it will like to me look more
Japanese. I think so I'm going to try and let you know what I think in a future video. So as I said
like, subscribe, follow my journey and yeah please comment about it. If you have questions
about Japan or this set at all I will reply as soon as I can. So thank you all! Bye bye!
