Italian Landmarks Retro TV DIY Miniature Scene Kit 6 in by Wizardi F07AM15-5-68066

A green retro television with cream dials shows an Italian journey on its screen: an arched stone bridge over a canal lined with colourful houses, the curved walls of an ancient amphitheatre, a leaning bell tower and a pointed cathedral front, with a bunch of yellow flowers on a balcony. With the light on the whole scene glows like a summer evening in Italy.

A little crafter's folklore: travellers say a coin tossed into an Italian fountain means you will return, and miniaturists like to tuck a tiny coin somewhere in the scene.

Why this kit: if you love Italy, this green TV packs Venice, Rome and Pisa into one small frame, a 116 piece build with a warm light.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the retro TV cabinet and the layered city scene, printed backdrop and figure pieces, an LED light with an on-off switch, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries for the light, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of the Retro TV travel series: six wooden television sets in different colours, each with a famous city or landmark scene on the screen, so a row of them makes a little world tour on a shelf. Build tip: build the cabinet frame first, slot the scene layers in from back to front, then fit the dials, antennas and light last. Pair it with the London Streets, Paris and Egyptian Pyramids Retro TVs.

Size: 14.7 x 8.7 x 12.5 cm (5.8 x 3.4 x 4.9 in), about 116 wooden pieces. A cheerful desk or shelf display that doubles as a soft night light, and a gift for travellers and anyone who loves a nostalgic look. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
