winnie Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Since I'm now building the Orchid for my almost 3 year-old niece, I was wondering if the 1/2" scale furinture would be too small? House-wise & three year-old hazzard-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I found that the 1:12 scale furniture fit nicely into the Orchid when I built that kit. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think1/2" scale furniture would be too small. It may even be too small for her so you would want to use 1" scale furniture with this house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I would suggest 1 inch scale also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 1:24 scale gets lost in a 1:12 house. Plus I think the pieces are way too small for a 3-year old to handle easily (with them, usually the bigger the better) and, ahem, they will fit into her mouth quite nicely if she's a "taster". I'd stick with 1:12 -- it'll look right, she'll be able to handle it and they'd be generally safer for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks so much for the advice. 1" scale it shall be!! I'm a little nervous, though mostly excited, since it's been about 14-15 years since my last build. YIKES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
