A proud pensioner has spent 26 years creating the ultimate life-like dolls house.

一名充满活力的退休老人花费26年的时间打造出了一座高仿真娃娃屋。

Leonard Martin constructed the intricate house from scratch as a way to fill his time.

伦纳德・马丁(Leonard Martin)从零开始建造了这座精致的娃娃屋，最初只是为了打发时间。

But he soon became hooked and started to make it as real looking as possible, spending £6,000 on the masterpiece.

但不久他就迷上了这项业余爱好，竭尽可能地令其更加逼真，并为此投入了6000英镑(约56764元人民币)。

Now, the 6ft-long labour of love has six lavish rooms complete with cavity walls, marble and wood floors, soft furnishings and one-of-a-kind artwork.

凝结着伦纳德多年心血的这座6英尺(约1.8米)长的娃娃屋有6间豪华的房间，由空心墙相隔，地上铺有大理石和木地板，室内陈设考究，还挂有独一无二的画作。

The 70-year-old said: "It is unbelievable, if I even say so myself."

这位70岁的老人说：“这令人难以置信，连我自己都忍不住要感叹。”

Ceilings are painted plaster, which have been gilded with 24ct gold leaf, while the chandeliers feature £100 worth of Swarovski crystals.

娃娃屋的天花板涂有镀了24克拉金箔的灰泥，悬挂的枝形吊灯上嵌有价值100英镑(约946元人民币)的施华洛世奇水晶。

Each wooden floorboard is individually laid and French polished and each room is delicately illuminated by tiny electric lights and glowing fireplaces.

木地板是一块块单独铺设的，并经过法式打蜡。每一间房都精心配置了小巧的电灯和燃烧的壁炉来照明。

He even commissioned a friend of a friend, famous for creating the artwork in King Farouk's palace in Egypt, to paint the delicate works of art for each room.

他甚至还委托朋友的朋友为每个房间都画了一幅精美的画，那名画家因曾为埃及国王法鲁克的宫殿创作艺术作品而闻名。

Leonard said: "I had it on display for the public to raise money for the local village hall then I had to move it back to my work shop where it's still sitting on a table.

伦纳德说：“我曾通过公开展览这座娃娃屋给当地的村务厅筹钱。这之后我得把它搬回我店里的桌子上，现在它也还在那里放着。”

"It took four people to lift it into place so it won't be moving any time soon! I have also built a fantastic funfair, it took me seven years.

“当时四个人合力才把它抬起来放到合适的位置，所以短时间内它不会换地方了!我还花了7年时间做了个非常棒的游乐场。”
