Thread: Next project

Watching with interest mike though from the look of the small collection of toys outside you may also need to build her a garage......lol.
I dropped in to check up on our daughter who's been unwell and she should me a collection of hand-me-downs our grandson had received....she'll need a big garage.
Cheers, crowie

Watching with interest have built about 4 dolls houses and have one which is a kit that was given to me. So far it is looking good have you completed the main framing now as earlier photo's you showed it did not have a roof.

No I haven't done the roof yet. Not sure how I'm going to do it. Lol. I have wood cut but not sure if I'm going with the standard 90 degree pitch or more of a flat top.

This is the very first one I made for the wife If you look at the roof in the first picture the two windows are attached to a lift of section allowing access to the roof area. The second is just a general view of the inside. In this house all the lights work.

Sorry these are the only 2 of this house and this is all I have on one I am working on at the moment between other jobs first picture is just after I repaired and reglued the main carcase and also before refitting the internal walls and the second is the bottom front of the same house. This one my late father started from a kit and I said I would complete

No back. But will have a front. Keep posting pics as you go! The detail of the wood trim is nice

I was hoping to build and make every piece myself. Probably going to have to buy some stuff

When I make things like the trim myself (the one in the previous post was from the kit) like I did in my 1936 Ford car I used a router bit set designed for dolls houses mainly for 1/12th scale but can be used for other things.

This set is made by Trend

There is a bit missing from the box as it was in my router table at the time I took this.

bj383ss found some in the US so he may be able to tell you where

Is there a catalog a guy could get for lighting and such. You have me thinking about lighting. How did you power the lights?

There are some here in England I think you would need to do a search for Doll house lighting. Have a look at http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...,d.d2k&cad=rja They are in your neck of the woods

I just found this PDF which may help if you can get the router bits http://www.trend-uk.com/en/UK/trend/...rch_value=doll
