Penguin Village - Coffee Pot Cafe

Introduction

The Penguin Village was a series of Japanese plastic model owned by my uncle when I was a kid. I saw my uncle building those model kits when I was 3-4. I always wish to own a set for myself for ages. Unfortunately, those same model kits now would cost you an arm and a leg, or even more, to get from those vintage items collectors. Well, why not spending on a good printer, design the models and print one myself. As the starter of the series, the first model is the iconic Coffee Pot Cafe.

Remove support. Glue the two parts together after print. Be careful when removing the support for the tent supporting arms. Holds the arms to protect it from unintended stress. The arms are rather fragile and may snap if it is not handled properly.
