IndyCindy Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm about to embark on a new build - a 1/12th scale castle keep! I'm struggling to find quality Medieval-style miniatures. The selection at most of my favorite online shops is sparse at best. Any resources for this specific style and period would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I too have discovered that medieval stuff is sparse. For lights I go with Dolls House Emporium. They’re overseas but reasonable. Furniture, well I had to make most of it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khadi Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've searched too. I would check out Etsy. There are a lot of shops from the UK. They have a much bigger variety of options for different time periods. Most of the shipping is fairly reasonable too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khadi Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I was searching for something else on Etsy and came across this shop. I've never bought anything from them, but I've been tempted.

havanaholly Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Could only see the lady and my memory ain't what it once was. Still, quite appropriate for the setting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought to "upholster" these Gothic chairs, but it looks gorgeous. You've definitely inspired me to think beyond just staining the wood. I've been thinking a lot about ways to incorporate fabric, color, and texture into this next project of mine. I am absolutely giddy; thanks for sharing this! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fabric back is a piece of embroidered ribbon, the seat is from a velvet ribbon, (like you find at Christmas). Thank you so much for the kind words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyCindy Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Thanks for the leads, Jeanne. I've made some McQueenie kits before and they have some perfect pieces for my castle.

alessia88 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Finding high-quality Medieval-style miniatures can sometimes be a challenge, but there are a few resources you can explore to expand your options. Etsy is a popular online marketplace that offers a wide range of handmade and vintage items, including miniatures. Many artisans and collectors sell unique Medieval-style miniatures on Etsy, and you might find some hidden gems there. Use relevant keywords like "Medieval miniatures," "castle miniatures," or "1/12th scale castle" to narrow down your search. Engage with the miniature community by joining online forums and social media groups dedicated to dollhouse miniatures. These platforms often have active communities of enthusiasts who can provide recommendations, share resources, and even offer their own miniatures for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
