I got the grey cookware set & painted some of the pieces to look like worn bluestone enamelware & some like worn white enamelware, and some like well-seasoned aluminum/ steel and it all went into my pub.

ilovecats Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I got my painted lady railing for the Beacon Hill. I probably didn't order enough, but i'll have to place another order in a couple of weeks for the interior door trim and the widows walk railing. http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index...RODUCTSKU=81041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 That's a really beautiful railing. But I don't quite follow the other suggested uses: "Can also be used as corbel brackets or accents for crown moulding." Are they talking about dismantling it? But I don't see any segment that looks corbel-bracket-shaped. And as an accent for crown moulding? Don't see that, either. Maybe my imagination is flu-depleted.

CJEP Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thank you, Kathie!! You "saved" me about $30--well I spent it on more stuff so I got $30 more stuff without spending the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa_F Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just finished placing my order - got all sorts of goodies to get going on the dollhouse shell I'm starting on. I got the starter wiring kit (got lots of neat lights for Christmas so now I have to teach myself to wire a house), the Jamestown front door, windows and interior doors for the house shell.

nuttiwebgal Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 well I had to get in on this also.... I dont get to often! but I had fun shopping for myself and My daughter who has no idea so the MHM gets kitchen flooring the clear garden tub fancy crystal knobs...double doors had to have 2 sets for front door. 24 light window for the kitchen and maybe the canopy bed kit but I doubt it and also for myself 19 peice furniture kit and white wire dressing table with chair. not many goodies but it will make a big impact on her house...coz we all know I dont have a anytime dollhouse. gotta build me one someday. so my lil pretties hide away in the cupboard. nutti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 maybe the canopy bed kit but I doubt it I definitely liked the Shenandoah version better than the HoM, built them both before I had a gluing jig and wish now I had known; the pony clamp just isn't the same!

havanaholly Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 is it easy to build?I've built polystyrene model kits, so as this type of kit goes, Chrysnbon's da bomb! any tips? Have you built any polystyrene kits? If not, the first thing to remember is that the glue you use is a solvent, it chemically "melts" the plastic so it fuses together (practice on the scrap sprues/ "trees"), so you will want to use a pointed toothpick or a pin to apply the glue, carefully hold the pieces together for at least ten to fifteen seconds to get a good bond. I use Testor's in the red & white tube. American Miniaturist ran an article their first year on how someone aged this kit. Basically I diluted raw siena acrylic paint to the consistency of a translucent wash and brushed it on until it began to look like a patina of rust. Then I followed with a wash of very dilute white, to give it an "old cast iron" look. Finally I gave the base a wash of siena and then black, and dripped drops of black wash to look like old spills. For the cookware after I got all the pieces together I sprayed them with matte grey primer, which gives polystyrene the "tooth" to hold the acrylic paint. Then I had a ball! An old toothbrush makes a great tool for making spatterware, BTW. Did I mention I sove mini-ing because I can make the kinds of messes I enjoyed making when I was a little girl?

chesterfieldzoo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Once again, I have found myself to be a sucker for a sale. First it was Hobby Lobby and I about bought out the whole department. (you can never have enough moulding set aside, especially at 50% off) Then I have been going to hbs and making a wish list. So, my wish list is a lot smaller now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchouch Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 awwwww...what an exciting day. I wish I could've bought stuff, but I can't spendmoney since I am getting a real house. At least I hope we can close the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
