Bruce Poage Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 About four years ago when my first grandaughter was born I decided that in due time I would have to build a doll house for her. She will be 4 in three weeks. So guess what is on the workbench. You guessed it--- a dollhouse. The scale is 1" to 1'. The xacto knives come in handy. Acrylics can be used for shutters and trim as well as auto interiors. Clear glue used on car windows is also used on doll house windows. I was in the scrap booking section of Hobby Lobby looking for pages that could be used for wallpaper. I saw some sheets of a velvet type paper that could be sued for auto floormats. It's been fun. It's almost done----and I can't wait to get back to plastic.
James W Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Sometimes a change of pace is a breath of fresh air. Several years ago, I found a set of white metal tools in a doll house store. They included a large vise that could be mounted on the back bumper of a work truck. I've even toyed with making it functional. It pays to look around and it pays to change up the building habits too.
