  7. ok i see i thought it was in pop science mag and its in pop mechanics ..ok i see it and have it downloaded and enlarged still going to be a very large house ...i think i would make it out of that gator board and some pink or blue foam cause of its density that will make it light weight
  8. thats good to know havanaholly .. so were the plans printed in popular mechanics magazine ?? do you know what year ?? THAT MAKES THIS HOUSE IN 1/6TH SCALE TO BE 5 FEET LONG BY 3 FEET WIDE BY 3 FEET & 4 INCHES INCHES TALL , BASE SIZE.......THATS BIG
  9. HELLO ELFPRINCESS ever since i saw this art deco house i always wanted to build it ... i now have copies of the plans .. i just don't know what scale this house is in ..i google it and found 5 photos of it and the plans ...both pages so it doesn't seem to be very complicated to build i am hoping that if i can figure out the scale of these plans then i could draw it up in barbie size 1/6th scale ......it would be big in 1/6 scale ..i know i tried to build the addams family house in 1/6 and the total house would of been about 8 feet long by 7 feet high by about 4 feet deep i only started to build the front porch and living room and that was big .. so i stoped at that time ..not enough room for me to build it and i was building it stick by stick
  10. HELLO EL i too am building the orchid house ...and i was wondering why you are putting the primrose on that way (not that theres a wrong way) to the orchid .........most people put it at either end ...of the house ... i also bought the primrose edition ..just haven't figured out witch house i will add it too ..sofar i have now the beacon hill,magnolia,2 orchids,primrose,vineyland, and the storybrook,and the sugarplum , houses but only started to build the first orchid house for now all the others are still in kit form .....this is my first wooden doll house you can see my orchid here at ........ Apedolly's Orchid D-House

  12. thank you holly about my cabinet .... i did not have to doo much cuttung of wood for the cabinet ........... only for the back pannel and the 2 front door pieces of the frame.... ........since the ORCHID dosen't have any closets ....... i would guess that MR DEM BONES will just have to haunt this house openly........
  13. here is MR DEM BONES .. hes a DOOM AND GLOOM reporter .....hes sitting in to watch the ORCHID being built by an APE ..... http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_6118/gallery_17109_6118_32286.jpg heres he is watching ....... hes sitting in moms rocking chair on the ORCHID porch base next to the front door and here is also the other parts of the porch.... the railings had to be added too cause of so much dry rotted wood and i added 1/4x1/4inch square dowels to the porch in place of the ones from the kit (they were too flimsy) ....... and last is the porch frame work ..witch i had to add lots of trim work to splice it together cause of the broken pices and as you can see it is broken in half ... i applyed the same trim to both sides since this photo was taken i have reglued the two halfs together using more trim.. http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_6118/gallery_17109_6118_1152957.jpg this photo shows mom looking at her new cabinnet with sphinks and behind her is all of the shingles bundled up in packs of 50 ..all sanded and counted 862 full shingles and another 60 half shingles too..... and you can see the 2 bird houses for the roof all glued and sanded and the door in the background next to the stairs http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_6118/gallery_17109_6118_1247757.jpg heres a close up of the cabinnet i built using mostly parts from the orchid leftover wood pieces and a few other wood parts for the legs and a wrapper from my potatoe chips bag for the mirror ...later on i will add cloth hinges and pins to the 3 doors so it can be opened........ http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_6118/gallery_17109_6118_1555067.jpg heres what i did to the ORCHIDs box....i cut all the sides from the front ...then i tape them together to make a paper tray as you can see to hold the house parts ......and the rest of the family sitts on the side waiting and watching http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_6118/gallery_17109_6118_468024.jpg
