pin1056 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 ok i want to raise the roof of my built Canterbury...those tiny atticy rooms annoy me...such a waste of space :lol: Questions: can it be done? How? where do i chop? Do I add to the roofline or chop it off at the ground floor ceiling? Do i even bother? :lol: Has anyone done this or similar? I hate the rooms as they are but i am scared i'll wreck the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 That is one most beautiful house! I personally wouldn't cut the roof off to alter it, at this point in time. I would be looking for a smaller bathroom set. I have that same set, and it is rather large, for an attic. There are also some small beds, a little brown trundle perhaps, that would likely fit to make a bedroom. Variations in furniture size is very common even in 1:12 scale. It is however, your choice if you wish to attempt doing a bash/rehab of your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well it finished so i would try a 16th scale or half scale in the attic if you did want to chop it down there would be a lot of work,I would chop off right where the floor starts and build from there, strait for about two to three inches and angled after that , maybe even stack another one and alter that attic.

havanaholly Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I wanted to alter the Storybook Cottage, the first rehab I ever did, but in its case I wanted to lower the second floor because it was far enough up that I could have lowered it and made two floors of a nice cottage size to go with smaller 1:12 furniture. It was too firmly glued and, as it was for Toys for Tots, I didn't really want to cut it apart and splice the inserts to raise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana M. Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think your Canterbury is just perfect the way it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yes you can do it. I did it to a Primrose cottage and a couple of other houses but I have pictures of the Primrose I did it to: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/b...p?showentry=860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THmini2 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I can see your point. But that house is so beautiful the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamom Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have a Canterbury too. The top floor is small and odd, but very cute. This is such a quaint little house and the scale is off, but I love it! Your house is too beautiful just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Your house is sooo pretty! Why not just get another kit and have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It is finished and very pretty. I would find something else to put up there and skip the bathroom. How about a child's room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
