These first two pics should have been in Part 11, they just show the process of filling and sanding.

BEWARE! There is a mistake in the instruction video. The 'L' shaped desk you see above is incorrect the 'L' should be the other way around. It was a simple fix to flip the part over and add another top.

BEWARE AGAIN! There is another couple of errors in the instructions. To be fair the error is noted in the instruction video comments.
WS9; it should be WS4
WV3; it should be WS8

The staining on the beds is mostly done with cold coffee. ;)

Here is one of the errors in the instructions which I did not pick up on. The 6 vertical spars should have been square in shape not flat.

Gluing these parts in place was quite challenging.

Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Tony
 
Video 11 - (Part 2)
Here I tackle the construction of the lamps in the Hanging Magazines. The folding tool I used to fold the bars in the doors earlier seemed to cause a bit of interest with other modellers so I decided to show the process I used to fashion these parts.

A point to note here, something I did not pick up on until I came to glue the LED's in place. The clear parts have a protective film on both sides, this needs to be peeled away.

Hi, I'm following your excellent work; I'm also building the Victoy Anatomy. I wanted to ask you the name of these pliers, but I can't find them. One more thing: did you use a magnifying glass to install the hinges on the doors? They're so small that I can't fit them with the naked eye. Thanks

Hi
They are Tamiya Bending Pliers. Any good hobby shop should stock them. I used cheap high magnification glasses. Here in Australia you buy them over the counter at Chemists (Pharmacy) in different strengths eg -1, -2, -3 etc.
Thanks for the kind words.
