Fred Wegman Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Where and how can I get copies of Glencroft schematics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriLovesMiniatures Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Hello Fred, I found this post from years ago about the Glencroft schematics. I will attach link from this site. You can click on the arrow to the right, at the Glencroft instructions from 2009 to read entire post. I will also see what I can find online. Lori Here is the post from 2009: Do you have the schematic sheets? If not, PM me and I can send everything to you by e-mail (already did this for someone else recently). However, my instructions are for a kit bought in the mid-1990's, and I do not know if they have been changed. The Glencroft is also my first dh, but I am bashing it to make it bigger. For other things you will need, look under the General ... forum. There is a lot of good advice there and people will gladly answer any questions you have. However, to start, do NOT use a hot glue gun - use Aileen's tacky glue or Elmer's white glue instead. Wood glue is also ok. Use masking tape for 'dry-fitting' and for holding pieces together while they dry, and have a utility knife (with the snap-off blades) or an ex-acto knife handy to help taking pieces out of the sheets or trimming pieces for a better fit. Also, have lots of fine sandpaper. Clamps can be used in some places. For paint, use regular latex paint in satin or eggshell finish. Stain and varnish depend on how you want the house to look. For the wood floors, I am using "skinny sticks" from Michael's stained and glued to an acid-free paper template. Look around the forums and decide what look you are going for.

LoriLovesMiniatures Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Fred, You can also contact the Greenleaf Company and they should be able to send you the schematics. Here is their link. http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/about-us/greenleaf_dollhouse.html Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the schematics, I do have the instructions. Hard to tell what parts. fpwegman@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie H Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I recently was gifted a glencroft kit and it has not instructions and no schematics. Where can I get them so I can start building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriLovesMiniatures Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Julie, Sorry to hear that your Glencroft kit has no instructions or schematics. I did just email Greenleaf asking if they could email me the schematics as well as the instructions. I know Fred has contacted them too. I did find the warm up sheet on line. That should have been included with your kit too. I can send you the pdf file of the warm up sheet. The warm up sheet is for all Greenleaf dollhouses.

havanaholly Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The Warm-Up sheet is the one that starts out "Don't panic!" The instructions and schematics will be more specific to the kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
