Thimble Hall Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Has anyone done any of these please. I have bought the 48 scale Memory Lane collection and the Cobblestone Snicket collection, I thought I would be able to manage the little ones better if I got ill again as I can do them on a tray. Some have arrived and some are en route. The quality looks very good and so many itsy bitsy pieces. I found the prices very reasonable as was the shipping. I also bought the few books they have and I can strongly recommend them, lots of great techniques for finishing and it was all made very clear. I didn't buy their paints..should I ? I would be most interested to see what folks have done with them here XX Jeannine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgwyn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I have my eye on the cobblestone snicket as well, one day. It seems it would make a nice Harry Potterish lane. I did the Raven’s Perch a couple of years ago. It was very easy to do. It is in my gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I have friends who do the petite properties and love them. Never heard any complaints. Seem like really nice people to deal with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I haven’t built any of their kits yet but Kelly (Kellyannmo) has done several.

Elsbeth Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I love their quarter scale kits. My only advice is to avoid overpainting it and paint with layers - because their furniture is nice thick cardstock (super durable) but if you water log/over saturate it with acrylic paint some tiny details (chair legs) can warp/split. But you really have to waterlog it. Otherwise, I love their stuff. Great prices for the details and ease of putting it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I think you can easily use your own paints. They sell separate books on how to paint/decorate the houses which might be useful for mixing your own paint colors and learning techniques.

Thimble Hall Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thank you for the help. I did buy all the books they had but I think some are no longer available, one I have mentions others that are not on the site I did send an e mail about them but no reply.This is the one thing I have noticed , they are slow to answer.. The little pieces look fascinating though Jenn do you build them then paint or in erverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For houses: I have to decorate as the walls go together. Otherwise I can't get my fingers in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
