1/48th scale shop

Well it might not have been on my list of thiings to do, but I did it and finished it, which is a rare occasion for me. I am talking about a 1/48th scale shop kit from Jane Harrop shown in these pictures. I was adding some of Jane's new kits to my website and just had to have one of these for myself.
Instructions were easy to follow and everything was quite easy to put together. Nothing too fiddley.

   

Now all it needs is an occupant.

I have some of Jane's 1/48th scale and 1/24th scale kits on my website.

You can also buy them direct from Jane.

I have been away from writing on blogger for awhile and I have plenty of mini things to show and share in future posts including a skeleton rock band. I also realised I have passed the 100 followers mark and not had the celebratory giveaway, so I might have to do something about that.

Tooooooooo Long

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. Well they say time flies when your having fun. I have started a couple of posts only to realise my pictures were on the other computer. Now I've bought a portable hard drive and all my pictures are on it, so no excuses.

So what has been occuping me all this time.

Well I had a stall at Shelley's online miniature show at the weekend. I dressed some 1/24th scale beds, like the one above, especially for the show but not a one sold. A little diasppointing (OK very disappointing), but I did sell lots of other items I listed so worth doing.

I also made and sold quite a few worn books in 1/12th and 1/24th scale.

My 1/48th scale grandparents were stars of my "table", I could have sold them 10 times over. So come september, when the kids are back at school and college, I will be making more, along with more modern people which were requested a few times.

Done a little more on the shop and the caravan. will show updates soon.

Sorting though my pictures and files I found some old tutorials from my old web site, so, I will be adding these to the blog over the next few weeks along with updates to my projects.

History in Miniature

Some of my latest creations. 1/48th scale dolls all in different period costume. From Tudor throught to a modern Gran and Grandpa.

All the doll are are just under 1.5" tall

I also have some witches finished but they were very relutant to have their picture taken. And there are a couple of Wizards awaiting wigs.

More painted BPF

Golly Gosh, where has the time gone to.

Here are a couple of the 1/48th scale beds I painted and dressed, or should that be distressed. The dressing table does now have a mirror, I just couldn't wait to take the pictures.

I will be putting the top bed in my haunted house. Yes, there's another project not quite finished.

I do have a few more things to show from my 6 weeks lack of blogging but I will save them for other posts.

1/48th BPF

For those who have never come across BPF, it stands for Brown Plastic Furniture and comes in packets like the one pictured below.

With a little time on my hands, while waiting for paint to dry on the shop box, I painted some of the 1/48th scale furniture that I had already sprayed with primer.

There was a few mould lines to cut of and sand before painting but the reast of the transformation has just been a quick brush or two with paint. I will add some clock faces to the clocks when I find my printies.

I have have some bedroom sets done in the same way. They are just waiting for some bed covers before I take pictures.

Grandpa and Grandma

Do you remember the 1/48th scale dolls I made along with the "MuffinDolls"? Well I finished dressing them a few days ago and thought I should add a picture.

Grandpa and Grandma. They would be a little under 1.5" if they were standing.

I will be definately making more next time I have the clay out and will be adding some to add to my web shop.

"Muffin Dolls?"

My first post - finally got around to it.

I made a start on some 1/24th scale dolls, dolls.

I was thinking of calling them "Muffin Dolls" due to their muffin shaped heads but will have to check I'm not copyrighting any names there. I will start dressing them once I have finished the 3 Astoria Dolls.

Also in the picture are a pair of 1/48th scale dolls with the same muffin style head. If they look OK when they are dressed, I will make some more.
