morgansmith Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I started in 1/4 scale in the 80's. I bashed Greenleaf Villages into open back houses and hand sanded big trims into smaller shaped trims. The only store bought furniture was the brown plastic (some pieces like the bathroom and stove had white and black) and I remember people doing some great things with it. Now, with so many people making great wood kits in 1/4 scale and laser cut accessories...the level of detail you can achieve is amazing. Karen Cary also has wonderful 1/4 scale kits. I have loved every one I put together. I took advantage of Greenleaf's free town sale and am excited to do that project. I've been thinking about how I will finish the different pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap73 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Also check out Etsy for some cute 1/4 scale pieces. Here's a couple more I might have spent hours drooling over :wub: http://www.youngatheartminiatures.com/ http://andrewsmini.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Oh Goody more links to explore!!! I am mad at myself for buying the third village when I could have gotten one for free from GL!!!!!!!!! I like to think about what I will do with the buildings also. I wish I had left the back open on the little Arthur!!!! I guess I will have to go build myself a larger Arthur I love that little house. I would make it the same colors as my 1/4 scale one.

morgansmith Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Or......you could make another 1/4 scale Arthur, you can never have too many Greenleaf town/villages. As for the same color...I've always thought it would be fun to do all three sizes the same way in any kit that comes all three sizes. And isn't it sdk that has kits in all three sizes? Ooh...what fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I thought of that but to buy the whole kit for one house.........probably won't happen. lol I am already planning the Orchid in my head......colors, furnishings. I like my houses to have a theme. hmmmmmm Thinking...... :whistle: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizbeth Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I bought one of these kits at a thrift store over a year ago and got a great ebay deal on two more. I have never built any size house before but have worked in small scale on a Halloween "village" I built around a Yankee Candle metal house. If I get starated on the kit sometime soon I may have it done for the holidays! I really enjoyed seeing what can be done and now I am inspired!
