sisvicki Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks for link, Kathi, all help is appreciated, I'm pretty certain the longframe assemblies aren't all there, either. Since I won't have siding walls, I'm wondering how to finish the outside, the siding really makes the kit charming. Leaning towards making this a Halloween dollhouse, and using a shabby brick or stone exterior. I've never been very good at crafting cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 If you make plywood walls you could apply siding strips to them before sliding them into the longframe pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Vicki, I don't think you need to order the plywood - Home Depot sells large sheets of 1/8 (or 3mm) plywood sheets in 4*8' - for really cheap. Have your husband pick up a flat one and cut those things out. The left-overs will be used - trust me...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thresadep Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm doing this dollhouse. If anyone needs instructions or info on this let me know. I have a few tips I can share too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Sea Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This is a super old thread but I think this is the next house I’m building. Duracraft San Franciscan 555 kit I got last year for $19! Hoping all the parts are here. Instructions are missing but available online. I’m so glad to have all of your experience to reference! Thank you!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google Dollhouse porch railings and a ton of shops come up, even Amazon. You will just have to cut them down to size so, buy extra. https://earthntree.com/miniatures/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72_75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 You could also make new railings; think the turned cocktail pick handles, for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
