MicroJivvy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 http://www.microjivvy.com/capemay.html I finally finished on of my projects that was standing between me and the Haunted House. It's a North Eastern Scale Miniature kit that I bashed about a bit... then furnished. Two more projects and then on to the haunted house. bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha...

bianca Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Great job on the Cape May. I especially like how well you furnished it. I would imagine it's difficult to find furniture for a 1/144 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You just amaze me, I'm trying to figure out how to get my hand in to a corner of a 1:12 house to make it looke nice and you take these teeny little houses and make them look marvelous. The Cape Cod is beautiful and I like the bash done to it. Peggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Love this 1/144. Did you make the kitchen furniture? It is beautiful. What did you use for wallpapering? And, I love the landscaping. It's fabulous. Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only gluing wallpaper in place, but also the furniture and accessories. Walls go into the base with grandfather clocks, bookcases, lamps, etc already glued on. Did you make the kitchen furniture? Nope -- I just painted it. They're metal miniatures I purchased from Anita McNary -- but she's just sold the metal miniatures biz to another miniaturist found at http://www.sdkminiatures.com ... I don't think Susan has the metal on her site yet (this business transfer JUST happened), but you can probably contact her via email (the kitchen furniture I used is the "large" kitchen set). What did you use for wallpapering? Some of the wallpaper (bedroom) I purchased from Anita ( http://www.anitamoriginals.com/ -- check the photo gallery section) and some (bathroom) is wallpaper I created and printed on the regular old color printer. The two tile floors are also printies I made up to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakyshaky Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 The house is beautiful! I have wanted to try something in this scale but have not worked up the nerve yet. I don't know if I could glue everything down. I like to change things too much. I just know I would end up trying to find everything after my cat through the house on the floor though.

MicroJivvy Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I don't know if I could glue everything down. Well people who make houses for themselves (mine always end up getting shipped somewhere), sometimes use tacky wax -- keeps stuff in place, but not permanently affixed. You really do have to use some sort of sticky stuff -- the furniture pieces are so light weight, that if you blink while viewing them the "wind" your eyelids stir up will knock the furniture over. And don't even think about moving the house without the furniture being affixed -- the house will look like it has been burglarized by very messy thieves. In addition, it's a real bear to get pieces into the back rooms if you don't do it prior to construction. I do about a bejillion "dry fits' throughout the build process and constantly cuss the nasty little furniture for its inability to stand up for even a few seconds.

Deb Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I can't even begin to imagine how much patience and skill it takes to do something that small. It's truly amazing! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Woah! I can't believe the level of detail on that little house. Impressive! I also really like the way you changed the upper floors into a loft to make everything easy to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
