Graham Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This is my first doll house/miniature and I’m pretty pleased how it’s turned out so far. I still have some fine tuning on the outside and need to start the wood floors. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Originally it was supposed to look just like on the box so there wasn’t going to be much of a story. Somehow I went off the rails. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-life madness Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Graham, The House of Miniature kits are a nice 'petite' 1/12 scale. Have you tried them? You can buy them on ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=house+of+miniatures+furniture+kits&_sacat=0 You can customize them easily.

Dalesq Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 What about distressing some furniture pieces for it? You could look for “lots” on eBay and then repaint, strip or distress upholstery, etc. I don’t know exactly what your plan is, but you could use lots of mismatched pieces too. I really like what you are doing with this build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The other thing would be to only put a very few pieces of furniture in it. An old sink and refrigerator in the kitchen, a chair and small table in the living room, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of give it that (somebody started moving) out look but didn’t quite finish the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
