sandilpn Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I was curious when I saw some at Hobby Lobby that were being clearanced. I thought they looked pretty big, maybe 1/24th or so. Anyone have an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 they looked pretty big, maybe 1/24th or so. Anyone have an idea? Most commonly used scale for dhs is 1:12, so 1:24 looks very small to me. 1:6 is Barbie scale, and those sets look a bit on the small size for Barbie. How tall are the rooms?

How tall are the rooms? It doesn't give measurments that I could see on the box, but I will try and check tomorrow. 1/2" scale looks big to me because most of the stuff I had built before was HO scale. Larger scales are a little foreign to me, but I am getting the hang of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Mini Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 ive seen those on ebay. are they all plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless1 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 According to the manufacturer, B-Bel, the roomboxes are 1:12 (standard dollhouse scale). If you're used to working in HO, here's how to keep dollhouse scales straight:1:48 is approximately O gauge.1:24 is approximately G gauge (LGB).1:12 is even bigger than that -- an LGB train car will maybe brush the top of a door frame, and a sofa will be about the size of an O-gauge box car.

Minis On The Edge Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It's perfect for 1" scale. My daughters have 3 of the sets and the kitchen is my personal favorite because it has pots and pans and utensils that can be used in a real house. Those kits are awesome! I got them this past summer from Tuesday Morning for $4 each room :laughbounce: Wish I had bought all of the rooms then because when I came back the next day they were gone :wub: I have not seen them at Hobby Lobby for about one year now. I will check today when I go to see if they have them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
