Retired couple's miniature building hobby grows too big for house 🏡 | ABC Australia

You might not expect miniature buildings to take up too much space, but Sue and Jim Roach's passion project has grown so big they've had to build a shed to house their creations.

They might miniature buildings, but Jim and Sue Roach's passion for making them is so mighty the couple has had to erect a shed to house their creations.

Over the past decade, the Roaches have made eight miniature buildings, from a row of terrace houses in Sydney's historic Rocks district to a Queenslander-style pub in the tropics.

With their retirement hobby threatening to overtake their house at Stanwell Tops on the New South Wales south coast, Jim embarked on a larger construction project and built a garden shed to give the minis a home of their own.

"We've made one every 18 months since 2013 and now we've run out of space, hence the new display room," he says.
