Paris Retro TV DIY Miniature Scene Kit 6 in by Wizardi F07AM15-5-68067

A red retro television with a single antenna and round dials frames Paris: the Eiffel Tower rises over rooftops, a twin-towered cathedral and a grand stone arch stand behind, a street cafe with a striped awning sits beside the river, and boats glide under an arched bridge on the Seine, with a hot air balloon floating in the sky.

A little crafter's folklore: Parisians say the city is most beautiful when the lights come on, and miniaturists like to switch this one on the moment it is finished.

Why this kit: if you love Paris, this bright red TV puts the city's best views in one charming frame, a 124 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, Italian Landmarks and New York Skyline Retro TVs, or the Paris Street Yellow Car scene.

Size: 15.1 x 8.7 x 12.5 cm (5.9 x 3.4 x 4.9 in), about 124 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.
