Hotel Scarborough DIY Miniature House Kit 10 in by Wizardi F07M51-73-ES009-A

A night-time street corner built from carved book volumes, one spine reading The Dictionary of Happiness: a red-brick hotel glows behind a neon Hotel sign and a balcony room, a flower shop with a striped awning spills blooms onto the pavement below, an arched green door leads to an upstairs bookshop, and a red scooter, a street lamp and planters sit on the brick base under ornate gilded book tops.

A little crafter's folklore: travellers say every good hotel has a story in each room, and miniaturists like to switch on the neon sign first.

Why this kit: if you love cosy city streets and books, this corner glows like a night street, with carved book-spine walls that frame the scene.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces, wallpaper and fabric pieces, miniature furniture and finely detailed accessories, built-in LED lights, and illustrated step-by-step instructions. Not included: batteries, glue and scissors.

Pair it with the Thames Bookstore or Clockwork Magic Shop. Build tip: fit and glue the wall panels into the shell first, add wallpaper and fabric before the furniture, place the smallest accessories with tweezers, and wire in the lights last.

Size: 25 x 21 x 20 cm (9.8 x 8.3 x 7.9 in). A glowing bookshelf display and a gift for book lovers and travellers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
