funkisockmunki Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have an old Tennyson kit from the ArtPly era. It has two separate porch roofs instead of the one big wraparound one, and the porch railings are separate pieces instead of the big one-piece thing they have now. I'm missing the schematics and instructions but working from newer parts lists I've found I'm missing many large structural pieces. If you can provide any details or tracings of these bits, it would really help me. What I'm missing: it's a lot! Right front first floor and door Right front second floor Bay windows 3 pieces (left front) Dormer sides Dormer Roof left and right Dormer front Spike trim Dormer Roof trim Large peak front Small peak front Chimney sides A & B Chimney front C, back D, and top E Small inner roof (L-shaped piece) Round window trim, 4 pcs Bay window tops & bottoms (same size?) The two V-shaped roof braces that are on the back side, one big, one small Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 You ARE missing a lot! Unless you have a small table saw and are good with measuring and cutting angles, I’d try to find another kit to fill in the voids. Did you buy it on eBay? Was it advertised as a complete kit?

Qubanqtee Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 oh I'd definitely take up Sables suggestion, cutting your own cold get tricky if it's a weak spot. I know it is for me. Hopefully you can find another kit to supplement this one if a return isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkisockmunki Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Additional kits are too expensive. I got this one at a ReStore (as-is) building salvage store. I'm very handy and have the tools. I just need tracings, or if I can't find someone with all the parts willing to trace, I'll just reverse engineer them myself. I'm determined to complete it, have already started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Oh I love this determination - so maybe someone will have the schematic and can trace them for you ... might take a while but clearly you’re going to get the job done....can’t wait to see pictures! Wish I could do more to help. Have you tried doing a search here on the forum using the house name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 That’s great news that you have woodworking experience. With that knowledge you CAN do this. I suggest buying a new prebuilt door from Miniatures.com or any of the other online suppliers. The dormer can be left off if you wish. This site might have all of the trim you are looking for: https://www.northeasternscalelumber.com/shop/dollhouse-trim.html?page=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewMini Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Could you maybe reach out to Greenleaf at least for the schematics and then scale up based on measurement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkisockmunki Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have schematics, and thanks to Carolyn C, I have the correct set of instructions and diagrams now. I'm trading tracings with her since we both have the same kit, missing different parts. Except we're both missing sheet 4, which includes the right side front walls and the bay window top/bottom trim. If anyone can send a tracing of those, and the dimension of the small trim piece, we would be grateful. PM me. Thanks everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
