morgansmith Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's the Vineyard Cottage I'd love to see in half scale. I really like the other little half scale houses and would love to see several more of the bigger houses in half scale but if it came down to one wish it would be the Vineyard Cottage. I have a couple tiny friends begging for the big one and it is just tooooooo big for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 1/2 scale sure sounds like a great space saver. I just don't know whether my clumsy old hands could do it justice since I already have troubles with 1:12 scale. But the biggest draw back for me is the poor selection and lack of really nice looking furniture, trims, accessories, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That's exactly my problem Selkie. Not enough half scale furniture. Or accessories for that matter. Maybe if I could get one of those 3D printers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsol Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think half scale battery operated lights would make half scale king! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomom Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I echo the pleas...I would adore some of the more complex, detailed kits (e.g. Beacon Hill) in 1:24 scale! There are more and more unique options for half scale furniture (including kits) and deco. I would definitely prefer laser cut having worked with both. Thanks to the folks at GL for everything they do to support the mini-obsessed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Well I finally gave up in disgust and resized patterns in my 1:12 furniture books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklepuppies Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Then there's me. I want the Fairfield in 1" scale. That actually would be awesome! It could live next door to the Beacon Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audra Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I would love the Victoriana in half scale. Isnt that the Mckinley?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 While we're sending our smoke-signals to Greenleaf - I'd like to see more in the 1:144 scale. I have become totally fascinated with this scale and I'm amazed at how much can be done with it. AND - they will fit inside the 1:12 scales mansions, that are already taking up space :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think Northeastern Scale Lumber makes the 1:144 versions of the GL kits. And yes, the Victorianna is the 1:24 version of the McKinley, and we were promised it would be the first discontinued kit to be rereleased several years ago...

mjsol Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 havanna holly, what books do you recommend for scale furniture patterns? I know there is a thread for this, but I was having trouble determining which books featured mostly furniture patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Here are the ones I have that are strictly furniture patterns (1:12 scale): Design and Make Your Own Dollhouse Furniture by Headley Holgate & Pamela Ruddock (the kitchen table in the pub kitchen is from this book): Reproducing Furniture in Miniature by Ann Kimball Pipe is mostly techniques. Some of her pieces are on display in the miniature museum in St Louis, MO. Making Miniature Furniture: The essential guide to producing exquisite furniture in 1/12th scale by John Davenport (1:12 cabinetry techniques, I aspire to this level of work!) Early American Dollhouse Miniatures by Gerald E. Jensen is mostly furniture with a very few accessories. Make Your Own Dolls; House Furniture by Maurice Harper; pictures of the dining table and sideboard I scaled down to 1:24 for the Fairfields never got burned to CD so I them here. Making 1/12 Scale Wicker Furniture for the Dolls' House by Sheila Smith is what I used to make the kitchen table & chairs for Maggie: Making Upholstered Furniture in 1/12 Scale by Janet Storey got used a LOT to make 1:24 furniture for the Fairfields. Reproducing Period Furniture and Accessories in Miniature by Virginia Merrill and Susan Merrill Richardson has 35 patterns, some charted designs and a lot of how-to basics. Joan McElroy's Dolls' House Furniture Book includes a section of patterns to make cut, folded & pasted paper dh furniture. Furnish a Doll's House by Michal Morse actually has a few chapters of furniture patterns. Thirties and Forties Miniatures in 1:12 Scale by Jane Harrop has patterns for furniture and accessories appropriate to that period. Making Doll's House Miniatures with Polymer Clay by Sue Heaser includes patterns & directions for making a kitchen range and Belfast sink out of polymer clay and got me started making all my plumbing fixtures out of polymer clay. Make and Furnish Your Own Miniature Rooms by Marian Maeve O'Brien includes patterns for room boxes that can be made into a modular dh, as well as for several items of furniture. And then there's the very first dh DIY book I ever owned, although this one is actually my FOURTH copy, The New Dolls' House Do-It-Yourself Book by Venus & Martin Dodge which is especially nice if you wind up with a Keystone or other smaller than 1:12/ larger than 1:24 scale house, since all the furniture patterns are in both 1:12 AND 1:16 scale. Finally I didn't list any of Patricia King'sbooks because all of her furniture, etc, is made from found objects, so no patterns per se. I might have two or three pieces of furniture duplicated in some of the books, but one of the things I look for is making items NOT included in my other books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtex1967 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My vote is for bringing back the Victoriana! I am a huge fan of the McKinley, so it in half scale would be perfect for my space limitations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've been patiently waiting for the return of the Victorianna ever since someone posted it would be the first kit to be reissued (HINT!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minigrandma10 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Half inch .....half inch.....half inch.......please. Wish they would have made the Spring fling in half inch in 2013, that would have been great. So, the Victorianna for this year's Spring Fling would be Fabulous!!!!!

LouMorgan Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yes please, I'd get another Fairfield in laser cut even pay US postage. Then I could have a Halloween house and a christmas house :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I am also waiting for the Victorianna....hopefully not for too long.....we are all on the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Since this post has popped to the top again, and we're still begging - Please venture into the 1:144 scale. I love the GL kits and workmanship, but would really like them in a smaller scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
