DV's Fairfield

I've been decorating first, accumulating tiny things that help it all look real and lived in.

Your dry fit seems to hold together pretty well. What kind of tape are you using? Mine never stays stuck on and I've made some errors because of it. I've used masking and a blue and then a purple  painters take. The purple is supposed to be gentle on the finished surfaces.

I don't remember the brand, but it's basic masking tape in that photo.  I've switched to blue painter's tape.  I still have to use several pieces on a couple of places to combat warpage.

I can see some of my kits there! They look great!!

Hi! The siding on this looks great! Is this the siding from Greenleaf? I can't tell if their siding is fine for both 1/2 scale and 1:1 scale houses. I really would like to do siding on my 1/2 scale.

Hello and thank you!!

I purchased the siding from Northeastern Scale Lumber.  It's their 1/4" reveal clapboard siding.

Here's the link to the siding on their website.

This looks amazing. I'm really trying to do my research cause my order is being delivered and I'm having trouble understanding the furniture that I need to use for this particular model size. Do you recommend any places I can go to for accessories and furniture. Plus what size would I need for this house?

Hi and thanks!

Did you order a Fairfield?  The Fairfield is 1:24, also known as half scale because it's half the size of a standard 1:12 dollhouse.

A 6-foot tall person would be 6 inches in 1:12.  That same person is 3 inches in 1:24.

There are several websites that sell 1:24 furniture, accessories and building components.  Ebay and Etsy too.  I can create a list of them if you wish.

Yes I purchased a Fairfield a week ago. I've looked on Amazon and other websites but can't seem to narrow down what I need. A list would be nice. Thank you
