lindsaymhicks Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi ya'll, I'm Lindsay, I'm a teacher, I'm brand-new to this world of dollhouse building. This first one I have started on is The Fairfield: not quite sure what I have gotten myself into. But it is very fun, I am loving it, and I have a million questions. If you have any tips, feel free to reach out to me- I will love to hear from you. Happy building! -Lindsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Welcome to the little family, Lindsay. The Fairfield is 1:24 scale and as most dollhouses (in the US, anyway) are 1:12 scale, you might find finding furnishings, inhabitants and accessories "interesting"; I wound up making almost everything I put into mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a few 1:24 kits (the nursery) and when Dollhouse Miniatures changed hands the last time they began running a series of 1:24 projects with the stove; I made the rest of the furniture by scaling down patterns I had for 1:12 furniture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaymhicks Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 amazing! Thanks ya'll. Mine is coming along ok so far - I'll definitely look in to what miniature furniture I can find. This will be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Is that your dry fit? If you are gluing already, do please not use hot glue. I did a lot of dry fitting so I could see what I could go ahead and decorate before I had to squeeze a hand and brush into the space and what I would want to bash.

lindsaymhicks Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 I am using a glue that peels right off if needed- because I don't really know what Im doing, how things fit together, etc. I decided im not going to worry about decorating until I get a house together successfully- so many things to learn. So for what you see- I did a dry fit for step D then glued everything together how it told me at the end of the step. Nothing is permanent , can take apart if need be, but this lets me know how it will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
