fov Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I think if I were going to make a tower roof in that shape I'd just want one solid piece. Seems much easier than trying to shape one with supports, plus tower roofs never want to glue nicely for me (good idea on the funnel, though!). My dad said he thinks it can be done on the lathe. Here are two hard to find kits... the Golden Gate View: http://www.ebay.com/itm/J-NEW-IN-BOX-GOLDEN-GATE-VIEW-DOLL-HOUSE-AMERICAN-CRAFT-PRODUCTS-MODEL-8507-/381728567459?hash=item58e0cbb0a3:g:gZ8AAOSwV0RXp49g And the Highland: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Artply-The-Highland-Dollhouse-Kit-READ-/322218875046?hash=item4b05bdd8a6:g:6C0AAOSwWC1Xpjjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The Highland looks fun and very 80s suburbs. I'd want to put Lundby furniture in it. Here is a cute basic house - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wooden-Doll-House/322221050380 What is up with the bedroom and bath on lower floor and kitchen upstairs? Very nicely furnished, though.

rodentraiser Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 There's a free Craig's List Apple Blossom on Bainbridge Island I'm thinking of picking up. Although for what reason, I can't imagine. I need another dollhouse like I need a hole in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I don't really like the Von Trapp one. I wonder why they wanted to get rid of it. Well, I was all set to go and get the free Apple Blossom house this morning. The people said they would put it out on their driveway for me to pick up. About an hour later I got an email saying that their neighbors saw it and wanted to have it, so it was already taken. That's OK. I didn't need another house anyway.

rodentraiser Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Selkie! And where have you been hiding yourself? I was just thinking the other day we hadn't seen you in a long time! 23 hours ago, minikelli said: Kelly, go get the free dollhouse! That just looks awesome! And put it where? LOL It looks like it's at least 24" deep. I'd have to break it down to get it in the back of my car - and to keep it (not that I hadn't thought about it). Anyway, I just checked the listing and the free one is gone. Actually, I was thinking of getting this one and adding it to Bramble: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/bab/5723304663.html That's not a Houseworks/RGT house. That's a Katherine from House That Jack Built. It's about 4" longer than the Houseworks version, so the kitchen is not as narrow. But if I got it and turned it sideways to the house I just made, I could have another large house again. But of course, I would have to break this one down as well because I wouldn't be able to work on it until I got a larger place to live in. And I also can't get it till the end of the month. I doubt it will still be available then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
