havanaholly Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you mean the rooms on the chimney side of the house, they are smallish pieces that fit between the fireplaces and the front-to-back divider wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavindegrawfan25 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can you use skinny sticks as siding for dollhouse instead of getting actually siding ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 If you want clapboard siding that overlaps, skinny sticks might be tough because they're a bit thick. Also you don't want a seam in the middle of a siding board, so they might not be long enough to cover an entire wall. I like the siding from Houseworks because you don't have to lay the strips individually. But if you don't mind doing that, Greenleaf sells half scale siding strips: http://shop.greenleafdollhouses.com/Dollhouse-Half-Scale-Siding.html# These seem short too, though. I'm not used to siding that looks like the picture, it looks more like a hardwood floor to me. On the plus side these would probably be easier to overlap than skinny sticks, and easier to cut.

havanaholly Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) You can always split the regular Greenleaf siding strips in half lengthwise and use them for 1:24. Edited August 11, 2020 by havanaholly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavindegrawfan25 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Does the fairfield come with doors for the bedrooms and bathrooms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think so? But they're simple doors, just a piece of plywood that you have to glue in place or hinge yourself. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! If you want nicer working doors, you can get these, they should fit in the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I used the punchouts for one side of the doors and cut a matching piece of 1/8" basswood for the other, and hinged them using my chamois strips. If you wanted to make paneled interior doors you could cut and glue 1/8" or thinner stripwood and smaller square pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavindegrawfan25 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I put in the windows in the house I don't like at all I want to buy better windows is there a way for me to remove the old windows? Also I want to add a another balcony to the house and put on two French doors in the tower how do I do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 For the french doors it'd much easier to do it when the walls haven't been glued already! Then you just mark the size out that you want, with a sharp knife cut out the hole, and put your door in. Once it has already been glued together it'll be harder to cut the hole out. Might be easier with an electric saw of some sort, like a dremel, which won't take so long, but I'd just be careful! No experience with trying to remove windows. If you used wood glue it'll be harder than if you used a glue gun (which you could probably carefully pry off), good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 With wood glue a narrow metal putty knife, a hammer and lots of spackle afterwards would be my recommendation. Timberbrook used to make 1:24 upgrade windows & doors for the Fairfield. I suppose you could try looking for them on Ebay; if it were me I'd try making my own (actually I used the kit windows on mine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm pretty sure that the houseworks windows and doors fit in the Fairfield without any size adjustments, you would just need to shimmy up the trim to adjust for the wall depth difference.

Cindi Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I am having a problem with the chimney can you please post pictures of what it's supposed to look like when it's together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Once it's together the floors fit over/ around it and the bottom 2/3 become chimneybreasts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
