kellyannmo 3,479 Posted November 2, 2013 I love the clear doors... can I ask what material you used, and where did you get it? Did you have them custom cut or were you able to do them yourself... my little minis are such dust collectors... this is a great idea Quote Link to comment
iseecerulean 193 Posted November 2, 2013 It's 1/8" plexiglass I got at the hardware store. The house isn't quite square, so I made a paper template of the opening, traced it onto the plexi's protective film, then scored and snapped to cut it. Once I knew it fit I scored and snapped down the middle to make two doors. I used a dremel to make holes for the hinge hardware, and used ridiculously tiny nuts and bolts I found at the hardware store to fasten the hinges on. The plexi in the upper part is just glued to the roof braces. Quote Link to comment
kellyannmo 3,479 Posted November 2, 2013 thank you sooooo much.... I am going to look into doing this on some of my 1/2 scale houses that are sooooo hard to dust... thank you for the info it's a genius idea Quote Link to comment
-defunct account- 749 Posted November 2, 2013 Nice, that may need to be implemented on a few builds over here too. Safe and effective way to keep out fuzzy paws and tiny fingers ;) Quote Link to comment
iseecerulean 193 Posted November 4, 2013 I am glad it fit snugly so that I did not have to figure out how to keep them closed or put handles on them. I imagine I probably will next time...I am thinking magnets, maybe. Quote Link to comment
