DIY Hamster House

Scampi16 · 06-01-2013, 02:33 PM

After making a house for my Robo's Bolt & Lightning I decided to make one for one of my new Chinese hamsters - just unsure who to give it too, Yin or Yang.
Haven't got another box

Thanks

I have to say this one took a lot of time, but I know it's not the sort of quality such as the ikea one someone on here does (I have seen them on e-bay).
Mine is purely a creme egg cardboard box, Plastikote paint, dowels, glue & a bit of creativity.

The detail is incredible. I do not have an ounce of creativity in my what so ever. If you decide to start making them to sell,please count me in

What a fantastic paint job! Great work getting such crisp lines!

Really wish I could find that brush-on Plastikote in the US, haha.

Hi Jessie,

The Plastikote that I use is the brush on Fast Dry Enamel paint.

Hope you can get some.
