In the modern world, with all the bright and flashy digital devices available for us to use, you could be forgiven for thinking that all the fun to be had involves a screen. However, if you’re looking for some new hobby ideas to fill all of this extra time we’ve been having recently, then we’d like to show you something to illustrate that analogue pursuits are not dead!



At mechanicalmodels.co.uk, we offer a wonderful range of amazing models from the most innovative and creative designers in the world. Today we look at Rolife and their fabulous miniature dolls houses that are exquisitely created to the finest detail and offer true escapism from the everyday humdrum.

Let’s take a look at a few examples of what we’re talking about.

Midnight Paris 3D



The first of the Rolife hobby kits for adults we look at is a beautiful representation of a high-class Paris apartment. The Midnight Paris 3D kit offers realistic aesthetics that will appeal to anyone with an interest in interior design, allowing them to express their creativity.

You get to spend enjoyable hours putting it together and then many more playing and appreciating the beauty of the model and everything it contains.

Sam’s Study Room



Another of our new hobby ideas comes in the form of Sam’s Study room which is an incredibly realistic miniature model of a bookshop. Now, if you’re a fan of all things literature, what better way to follow that passion than to put together a bookshop that ties it together with an appreciation for top quality modelling?

In our opinion, this is a model to put together on a lazy Sunday afternoon, with a cup of tea and classical music playing in the background - if you want the full relaxing experience that is!

Simon’s Coffee (Shop)



Or what about combining your love for coffee (and who doesn’t love coffee?) with an interest in model making? Simon’s Coffee is a mini representation of a quaint corner coffee shop, rather than one of the big chains. It’s a place to go to enjoy the finest blends and the detail on this amazing model is incredible, with working LED lights, chairs and even a piano in the corner.

Another wonderful creation that offers hours and hours of enjoyment and a finished product that you’ll love looking at for years to come.
