I showed the little door I was working on earlier, and I've finally finished it! I ambitiously wanted to make it so the door could open a crack to see a little bit of the front hall, but that turned out to be too big a challenge for my meagre skills. Ah well. In any case, it is now framed in with MDF carved and painted to look like brick, which gave me a little space to attach the mail box, along with the house number. I would have liked to have added the number of the house where it'll be, but I had neither enough space nor enough numbers. So instead, I made the address 42--which, incidentally, is also the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything. Though it can't be seen all that well, there is a tiny book and an unbrella hanging from the mail box. I figured since the door would be inside a house, a fairy might hang their wet umbrella out there.

Wow! That did turn out quite fine!
Dang! I am in awe of your skills at making miniatures. I've got some project ideas (non-medieval) that I may want some help/pointers with.
Oh my--thanks! Honestly, it was more about just assembling stuff than anything. A friend suggested the method of framing it, and even did the hard part of taking the table saw to the MDF the frame is made from. I'd love to help if I can, though--these sorts of things are so much fun!
