A Mini Challenge

I wanted a dollhouse FOR my dollhouse. My mom had made one out of scrap wood, but I wanted one a little more intricate. You can see the one my mom made in the bottom of the picture below.

I went on my trusty http://www.miniatures.com/ looking for a kit. You really need to read what is included. All kits are not created equal. I wanted a kit that included everything down to the landscape. This is what I found.

The scale is 1/144. You can see how tiny everything is compared to the penny on the table. This is like a put-your-cheaters-on-and-get-the-tweezers kind of kit. I love it!

Sorry, Folks, furniture sold separately.

It is a project that can really be done in a weekend if you were dedicated to it.

You can see the landscape in this photo. I have been debating whether or not to glue the furniture in place. It really doesn't stay put at all; it's so little.

I found these tiny dogs and cats in my dad's train stuff. The scale is actually 1:86 but I can't tell the difference. I also snagged a little container of chickens and cows in the same scale. In the picture below you can see the cats sitting on the railing. I hope they don't fall.
