>It's a yotsuba B color
I love this. Not light blue, a "yotsuba B color." I'm not even being sarcastic.

Anyway, my grandma has a really nice doll house. It's not painted or anything, just a dark wood for the shingles and slightly lighter one for the exterior. I've always loved it. I'll probably visit her this weekend, if the thread's still around I'll post pictures then.

>>2772623
It was mostly a joke, I just realized after I had picked it out and painted it that it looked just like the message board backgrounds. And yes..I'd like to see pictures. I guess no one else on /toy/ has one or cares for them.

My mom made me a dollhouse when I was a kid. It opens up like a clam shell and the inside has velvet carpeting and cute striped wallpaper.
It used to house my pokemon and jurassic park toys and now it's in the garage because I refuse to get rid of it.

Hesitant to provide pics. It's up too high for me to take pics of the inside and the outside is... well, I don't want anyone judging my mom's color choices. Let's say it's vibrant, but it was made with love.

>>2772637
I think you should post some pics, I'll take some of my *uncompleted* one if people want to see it. When it's custom made you can't expect it to be perfect. POST IT

I always thought they were cool but wished they were the right size for my G.I. Joes or superheroes.

>>2772651
They make half scale ones now which is probably pretty close to size for GI Joes.

>>2772644
okay.. here. She had fun. The night sky is on this roof side and the daytime sky is on the other side. I'm pretty sure she built it from scratch.

>>2772653
That's good to know.

>>2772657
Your mom sounds awesome. And that's a nice dollhouse. I love all the detail, like the planters in the windows.

>>2772657
But that's charming! I'm assuming your mom is a child of the 60s/70s as that has mod colors all over it. She is obviously very creative if she was able to build the entire thing from scratch! Have you thought of taking it out and sprucing it up? Like electrifying it and putting it on display?

I love the painting detail she did on the box. I wouldn't mind seeing some more.
This sounds stupid but what I want to do is put a webcam in my dollhouse and have people able to look through a finished miniature room, then through the window, to see me typing on my computer.

thanks

oh god, everything's gone. I took it down to look at and everything inside has been gutted. I can't remember when that happened. Oh well, I'll just fix it up again if I find time.

I'd like to make the bottom left room into a transformers theme control room of sorts so I can pose them down there.. It'd be convenient to make four different scenes out of this for quick photographing.

>>2772657
well, that really is a dollhouse made with love, anon
I really wish I had room to have a dollhouse, but at the moment I don't have enough room
as I remember one other anon that have a "dollhouse" is GrannyNanny that have a dollhouse rooms, but she/he don't have furniture to go with them

>>2772696
>transformer themed control room
Thats hilarious, especially with the outside! TO THE HOUSE OF HARMONY WE MUST PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

If I were you, I'd get some dollhouse windows in it for starters.

Oh my god, thats so cool! you now have a choice of either taping it in and making it temporary, or using a wallpaper paste (I recommend YES! Or Grandma Stover's) It would be permanent though.

I kinda would like to make one with a boyfriend, house most of my collection in it, a train set outside, Security shelves way up high for space stuff, a stargate/space bridge on another side , lots kf room to take photos... then another room for gaming/movies/tv and a computer room, then the bedroom, kitchen and den for kinky fun.


Too bad I'm poor.

You can buy some nice ones that are unassembled from Hobby Lobby. Considering that they're made of wood, and they're pretty big, I think they're pretty well priced. Keep in mind that you'd have to put it together with the nails and screws and such yourself, while at the same time you'd have to paint it too.

i love you /toy/

>>2772696
Holy hnngh, that's hella adorable.

My entire family loves dollhouses but none of us ever got into making them. I'd love to build them if I had the resources.

>>2772817
Make something you can afford, why not do one out of cardboard and then paint the interior?

>>2772817
You can buy some cheap furniture at target/k-mart. Then rip them apart for scraps.

>>2772701
haha I know right? Beside the control room I would need to have a kitchen for starscream to cook in, and a living room with awkward furniture made to fit their back kibble.
Yeah I gotta get some windows..
>>2772715
OH NO WAY. This is too awesome. Thank you!!
>>2772817
Thanks, yeah I don't know anything about wood crafts, but my mom is a jack of all trades. Your family loves dollhouses? Do they/you collect?

i had one a few years back. it wasn't all that special--one of those wodden barbie-sized dollhouses that's shaped like a shelving unit with a roof. i added wallpaper to all the rooms and fuzzy carpeting and little "posters" i printed out and filled it with tiny knick-knacks. i gave it a way to goodwill after a year because it was taking up space. i regret that day.

>>2772988
That's too bad! The one Im making is pretty damn big, but I'm going to find a place to put it no matter what. I'll go take some pictures right now actually

Didn't come out well, but nonetheless here's an inprogress look at the dollhouse I'm making. It's a front opening georgian called Mulberry House. I'm thinking of naming it the /v/ mansion and throwing some special vidya things in it, but I'm p,lanning it to be a victorian mansion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enwSyQo8d7k

having one that looks like the bear's blue house would be neat

>>2772679
That is what I always wanted. Damn.

>>2773017
That looks nice. Very clean work. I can picture vidya figures looking out the windows...

>>2772637
>>2772606

The idea of a dollhoue full of dinosaurs made me giggle like a retard.

>>2773017
That looks great! Vidya things? What do you mean?

>>2773611
Yup, my raptor was the head of the household and he was married to mewtwo.

If you can't afford/don't have room for a dollhouse, you can get a room box.
I've got 3 of these. I'm going to permanently finish 2 of them. The first is going to be a bathroom, and the second will be Yotsuba's bedroom. I'm going to cut various wallpapers and flooring to fit the third one. Then I can have various color schemes & set it up to be a dining room, living room, game room, etc.
I bought large ones (link related), but they have other sizes.
http://www.miniatures.com/Large-QuickBuild-Display-Box-P18162.aspx
They're easy to assemble, and already finished in white. The front is plexiglass, so no dust inside.

>>2775437
That's rather clever. I had a similar idea to turn a shelf in to a sort of armory for all my loose figure accessories and weapons.

I love that /toy/ is having an honest thread about doll houses.

This is the one I'm currently working on. It's disassembled and primed, need to get my brushes cleaned off and start figuring out paint for it. Should look nice once it's done.

Once I move into an apartment in a couple months, I am going to get a bookshelf or cabinet and turn it into an apartment building for my action figures.

The only reason I haven't done this already is that college dorms are holy-fuck-tiny and I don't think I could fit a piece of furniture that large in here... But yeah, I'm going to either buy something with partitions or put in partitions myself, get some paint, see if I can get my hands on free wallpaper samples, etc.

Seeing as how I mostly have JoJo and Hokuto no Ken figures, it's going to be the most manly, fabulous dollhouse ever, hahaha.

I've always wanted to build an area for my joes to hangout. Doesnt have to be a doll house but something cool. I think I have an obsession with dioramas...

>>2775437
That is pretty cool. When I was a kid I had shelves that were 'rooms', which got filled with books as I grew up. But rooms are a good idea.

>>2775620
Thanks.
I just cut the flooring for the bathroom. It's a plastic sheet, so I'm gonna use it as a template. The simulated wood flooring for the other rooms is a thick paper.

>>2775898
Flooring & half-walls are in & the wood rails (that will go around the top of the half-walls) are cut. As I glue the wood in on each side, I'll also mount anything else that goes on that wall. (Medicine cabinet, T.P., towel bars, etc.) I've gotta pick up some glue, so I can continue. Thought I had more.

>>2778801
Oh my god. So cute. Where did you find tiling sheets for the floor/walls? Are they meant for doll houses or did you use them for something else?

I want to build a hot tub for my toys. Stick toys in with something that looks like bubbles (maybe crushed packing peanuts?) put beers in their hands, the end.

He really needs a break from work. Leaving his scythe at home, he checks into a luxury hotel where he can pamper himself.

>>2782909
This looks great. My suggestion is that you should iron the towels to fold them in half, and put some pictures on the walls.

>>2782907
lol

>>2783541
The slippers are hilarious. Unfortunately, this is probably my only figure the slippers will fit on.
>>2783576
The towels really bugged me, too. They're being crushed by Gray's Anatomy right now. If that doesn't work, I'll add The New Oxford American Dictionary.
The upper walls do look bare, but I don't really have anything that would go there. Any suggestions for bathroom art?
>>2783613

People often put inoffensive art in pastel tones or bright colors in their bathrooms. I don't know if the Grim Reaper would go that route, though.

>>2784701
So, avoid tentacle rape pictures. Gotcha.
I don't really have much in the way of scaled art. Maybe a few hanging plants. I can do that.

>Any suggestions for bathroom art?
what about a big mirror on one of the side walls? Obviously the back wall would be bad... That'd fill some space and is fitting for a br. Beach/ocean paintings or are also kind of bathroom-ish.

For scaled art, just print something out. You could easily frame it with your skill. You could use the same whatever it is that you used for molding on the top of the tiles.

Have you considered any electric fixtures? I don't know much about those but it'd be cool..

Photo of Drossel cleaning her bathroom for a photo comic I've been working on. (It's the project that finally got me working on the room boxes.)

Just realized I hadn't thanked you. Thanks for your good ideas.
Towels aren't really flattening out, so I'm thinking of using a small piece of double-sided tape.
>>2787834
Thanks for your help, too.
A full-length mirror on the left wall sounds interesting. I already have a few photo ideas. A framed beach/ocean scene sounds good for the right wall, above the towel bars.
I was worried about cutting the wood I used for the molding, but it came out fine without using any specialized tools. (I actually used picture frame molding.)
I've considered & rejected electric fixtures. Looks cool, but it's not in my budget.

I fidn it odd that owning doll houses is usually scene as a girl thing.

But MAKING them is always a male thing to do. Some dollhouses are built better than some real houses it seems, haha.

Same with the furniture. It is basically like building a real kitchen table, or what ever. Only much smaller.

I started scripting/planning it a few years ago & forgot about it. I found the files recently, and started actually accomplishing things. It's gonna be like a chapter of Yotsuba&, but it's about Drossel. (Not the personality from the series.) I'm sure it will be too long for most people's taste. At least it's getting me going on the room boxes. I've done that 1 bathroom photo I needed, and all of the photography in Drossel's room. It didn't take too much time to set up. It's fairly Spartan, except for educational material.
>>2787975

Two words: Room box

Yea, roombox, i know....

But I dont like a ton of "stuff" around, and a wooden box would just be clutter right now

I ended up buying furniture for a dollhouse, but I never thought pictures like
>>2787898
>>2787903
>>2787906
>>2787911

and so on would make me want my own so bad. I have the basic 1/12 furniture I got from a hobby shop a while ago, just finding a house/making one would be an interesting venture. Not that good with wood, but my uncle has some tools. This thread has genuinely made me want to make one.

This threat has make me wanted to have some sort of dollhouse/room box for my figures, until now I only used some printed backdrops when I have taken some pics of the toys, also I'm lacking of the 1/12 furniture for inside the house and some for outside the house, like a backyard or a garage to accommodate my 1/12 vehicles (something like pic related will make a terrific garage/armory for my vehicles and weapons accessories) the full dollhouse would be great but I don't have enough room for that, the room box option is more easy to accommodate like the one of Andysocial or the similar ones the appears in some of the pics of GrannyNanny

at any case, I back traced the pics I saved 2 years back and now I posted, and find the original post of that author if anyone is interested

>>2791572
ceiling trim?

What about a basket with some laundry piled in it, a hair dryer sitting somewhere, a larger rug to balance the floor space..?

and yeah the bathroom is looking super nice. I love the plants and the framed seashell/glass pic in the back wall.

Thanks for all the great input, /toy/!
>>2793989
I'm sure you could, if you've got the tools & know-how, which I don't. I liked these because they're simple. Just glue the prepainted pieces together with the glue provided. Also includes hardware for hanging them on the wall. (Plus plexiglass front for NO dust!)
>>2794078
Ceiling trim: Awesome idea! I'll look into that. (Have some for Yotsuba's room, so I don't know why I didn't think of it. Probably because the original plan was to have another type of tile on the top half of the wall. Discarded that idea when I actually did the project.)
Laundry basket: I was going to have some clothes sticking out of the hamper. Just haven't gotten around to it.
Hair dryer: Gotta put some stuff on the space-saver shelving over the toilet to make the place look more lived-in. I'll look through my collection for appropriate items. (Maybe buy a hair dryer.)
Larger rug: Another excellent idea that I'll look into.
>>2794081
Stickers are gone, but I left the plants and the framed thingies. (Another reflective surface on the rear wall, but I'll deal.)

Dang, you sunk a lot of cash into that room. I should do one for my kitchen, or at least try. Just wish everything wasnt so expensive.

>>2775437

Is that box you linked, are those measurements for the internal or external dimensions? Was it tough cutting the walls and floor to size?

>>2795427
I know what you mean. On many occasions, I've added a bunch of inexpensive items to my cart at miniatures.com, thinking it wouldn't be bad. Then looked at the OMG total. Then I moved a bunch of items to my wish list, and only ordered what I thought I really needed. I'm going to skip doing a kitchen, because I have the Muppet Show Swedish Kitchen playset. (Gotta break that out soon.)

>>2795602
Those are the outside dimensions. The internal floor is about 14 5/16" X 9 3/8" and the wall is about 8 7/8" high inside. I came out a little further than the 9 3/8" to meet up with the slot for the Plexiglass, so I had to cut notches in the flooring at the front. Pic related.
I'm an old-school drafter who started on a drafting board & I have steady hands, so I had no problem with the cutting. Did some "wood" flooring (paper) & wallpaper for other rooms with scissors before I remembered the Exacto cutting board my sister gave me for Christmas a few years ago. Really, anyone with steady hands, a half decent 18" ruler & good scissors could measure/draw lines/cut. The sheet of tile I used for the bathroom walls was vacuum-formed plastic with the tile section raised. I knew about how high I wanted to go, based on the heights of the toilet & sink, and cut along the nearest "grout" area. The vacuum-formed tile sheet for the bathroom floor was easy to cut with scissors. Since I didn't have the proper saw, I cut the wood with an Exacto knife (and patience). I was especially worried about the 45 degree cuts on the 2 pieces that needed to mate up in the corner, but everything worked out great.

>>2795951
I have some wood flooring too (real wood). It is 11x17, so I would need to try to cut it if I wanted to use it for flooring.

I am pretty bad at measuring and cutting. What would you say is the easiest way to cut for the flooring and walls? Measure with a ruler, then cut? Or do it more like a carpenter, and press it to the floor and cut?

is there a gap on the top with the plexiglass window? Seems like it wont keep dust out too well.

>>2795946
>because I have the Muppet Show Swedish Kitchen playset.

can you take pics if this playset fit with figmas, I want to buy one of this muppet play set (the kitchen one) but everywhere I find it is ultra expensive

can you make a sort of tutorial in how to buy form miniatures.com if you can be so kind

>>2796545
I know very little about carpentry, and nothing about how you should cut real wood flooring. Best advice I can offer: Measure twice, cut once. This will help you avoid a situation where you end up saying "3 times I've cut this board, and it's STILL too short."
Plexiglass has a piece of wood glued to it. Here's a pic from the top with the front on. It isn't hermetically sealed, but dust will be minimal if any does get in.

miniatures.com is pretty easy to navigate. I usually go to the right side of the page and "shop by room". (Or "shop by holiday" sometimes.) Definitely SIGN UP! They'll send you an email with a promotional code when they're having sales. (Wait for the 20% off sales.) Orders of $225.00 or more get free shipping. (Way too easy to find enough cool stuff to get this.) I usually put anything I might want into the cart, because that gives you a total. When I'm done, I look at the huge total & move stuff I don't really need to my wish list until my total is reasonable.

>>2796588
Watch out for scale!
Playscale is 1/2"=1' (Barbie & other 12" figures)
1" Scale is 1"=1' (6" action figures)
1/2" Scale items are half the size of 1" Scale items, so 2"=1' (Might be close for 3 3/4" or 4" figures. Look at the dimensions to determine whether it will work for you.)

I want to buy that but I don't realy have much room here until I do refurnish/home decorate/whatever my house. And I barely recycle...I'd feel a bit ironic buying that. Also...the stigma guys how do I beat that doll collecting stigma!?

Someone reposted my photos? :D

I'm thinking about filling out my dollhouse now that yard sale season is here and I can look for furniture. I'm not going to bother with scale. It's not like TFs are into that anyway.

I scored these two couches today and I'm pretty happy. I also bought the poor Prowl missing his doorwings. Here he's telling Team Blue about how it happened.

can I get someone's opinion on this?

http://www.amazon.com/Calico-Critters-Country-Tree-House/dp/B002RBWKOO/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header

I'm thinking about buying it, customizing and repainting parts of it, furnishing etc and creating a "summer home" for my nendos/figmas/shinkis.

It's plastic, so it wouldn't clash so much with all my plastic toys, but it could also blend in to a summery/nature theme if customized right. Also, I believe it's a decent scale.

What does /toy/ think, should I do it?

>>2810512

Also here is a picture of the interior.

that's ok I didn't need to be insecure about my masculinity anyways

>>2810567

I posted the treehouse, you should do it. Toy collecting is all about putting aside your inhibitions. FYI, "Calico Critters" (the company that makes it) are called Sylvanian Families everywhere but the US, and are a Japanese company as far as I know, in case that helps you.

>>2810563
Many, many places but to start you off:

miniatures.com
ebay
etsy
YJA auctions

also, check online and find out if there are any miniature doll specialist shops in your area.

Anyway guys, should I get the Sylvanian treehouse? My figures need a summer home and I feel like I could make it work out well with the right amount of customization.

>>2810512
That's the cutest. What are you going to customize?

>>2810628

i was planning on painting shading and details a little bit in appropriate areas to make it slightly more "natural" looking (I want a balance between natural and plastic, since it's going to house plastic figures).

possibly then i would add fake flowers, plants (material ones, not plastic) to certain areas, the type that you can find at craft stores. add some fabrics, curtains or wall details. interior would feature some kind of bedroom/lounge and kitchen setup, much like the promo pic (the actual house does not come with any furniture AFAIK which i am fine with as i like decorating to my personal taste)

if i'm feeling ambitious, i would also add a little dollhouse lighting, or even possibly use white/yellow fairy lighting around the roof or at the edge of the balcony, but i'm not sure if that idea would work.

basically just looking for other people's opinions about whether it would be a good project because the thing is just under 200 bucks and i will probably spend another 100-200 on decorating if i get it. money's not the issue as long as the end result is something that would look good, you know?

>>2810512
>>2810513
that's really cute, but I may be wrong, but that dollhouse seems more in scale to nendoroids, it will look a bit small with shinkis, figmas or revos, not so much, but still, other than that it looks really good
>>2810614
>"Calico Critters" (the company that makes it) are called Sylvanian Families everywhere but the US
I was about to say iit looked simmilar to the sylvanian families stuff, now I know why

>>2810657
all that sound pretty cool, make sure to post some pics when you finish the treehouse customization

>it would be a good project?
in my opinio it is an excellent project, my good soldier

>>2810614
Actually there's a lot of stuff on the amazon site you linked under related items. However I am canadian and amazon.ca doesn't list half this stuff so thanks for the information.

I know it's about inhibitions, most of collecting isn't really about what is logical to buy in terms of money and shit but...I need to get my shit together to move to a new town I don't know if I should really even be buying shit..> I guess it's not impossible to move. Sort of going on a tangeant.

>>2810678

I'd taken the fact that it might be better scaled to nendoroids into consideration. i own 6-7 nendoroids as well as some mini-nendos, so as a back up plan i could use them in the house as well. i'm more interested in shinki and figmas collecting at the moment which is why i thought of them first, but my nendos need somewhere to live too.

>>2810700

sounds like you have some issues to deal with, and i don't mean that in a bad way, i hope you can overcome them and enjoy this hobby!

anyway, pretty much convinced i'm going to buy it now. if i do buy it and am happy with the result i may upload pictures when the time comes.

Figured I'd take an updated photo without the horrible stickers.
>>2808446
Long time, no see.
I did it. If that's your stuff, we need MORE pics. Did you paint/wallpaper/etc. the dollhouses you bought last year?
>>2810519
I knoe it's an issue for some people, and this one is especially large.

Dropping off some silver surfboards at the pool.
>>2810567
Do it. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
>>2810657
Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see pics.
Since the largest dimension listed (most likely the height) is 2 feet, the Nendos should look great. IDK how tall the Shinkis are, but Figmas might be a little too big.

I am thoroughly convinced that I want to get a dollhouse/room box now thanks to this thread. Especially something like this:

>>2812474
Understood. Too bad you didn't do those dollhouses. Maybe you'll get back to them someday.

>>2810710
to continue where we left off...

[I LOVE AMAZON PRIME]━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

Warning! large images ahead...

>>2814404

fresh out the box. objects may appear more yellow than they actually are, since i was in a hurry to take photos and didn't bother with flash/white lighting or color correction.

>>2814409

These were also in the box.

....but before attaching anything, let's get to the most important thing: scale comparison.

It looks like Figmoe Lurker was completely right and this is going to be a Nendo house after all.

Left to right: Revoltech Rei on Idolm@ster body, Miyafuji Yoshika Figma, Mayushii Nendoroid, Artille Shinki, Pomock Shinki.

Going to start saging since i don't want to spam up the front page too much.

checking out the inside. Gabrine and Yoshika can stand up in the top room because the roof is sloped, but Artille (same height as Gabrine) can touch the ceiling when kneeling in the middle room.

Two slightly smaller guests try out the ground floor room.

Pomock just doesn't fit inside the house well at all, but the basement makes a cute hidey hole...

the tub can also be enjoyed, although it might be a little cramped

Yoshika can't stand up straight in the pavilion unfortunately, as the roof is too low...

last figure size comparison pic: Takara Satoko and Petit Nendo Suruga with the courtesy "Mango Monkeys" (that's what they're called) which were included...

after finishing testing out the figures, I started putting the extra parts on. I noticed that the lower deck has two cute trap doors, one on each side of the house.

i decided to slot on all the included accessories for now, even if i end up replacing, repainting or removing them for a better aesthetic in the end.

everything in it's right place （*´▽｀*）

as this is a children's dollhouse, it took less than 10 minutes to slot everything into place, no glue or cutting required.

i'm actually really impressed with the subtle look of the "wood" parts and roof. I will almost certainly repaint or replace the fake foliage and flowers, and the pond area needs to be changed so that it doesn't look like a big blue blob of good. Also going to prioritse replacing the parasol (or covering it in fabric and toning down the color), as that thing is hideous. Similar plans for the boat as it's just a lump of red plastic right now.

>>2814461

meant to type *goo and *prioritize. too excited to spell properly right now, apparently.

anyway last pic here, nothing too exciting, just some stickers that were also included. i probably will keep them for use with some other project.

that's all for now. i'm really really happy with this even if it turned out to be too small for the taller figures, and i'm going to have so much fun customizing it.

hope someone found these pictures interesting, and if anyone wants to make suggestions about what I should do with it, I'm listening.

>>2814471
> make suggestions about what I should do with it
After seeing that you had a Pomock, I was momentarily jelly enough to think of a suggestion that is unlikely to be anatomically possible. Sorry.
But seriously, that's awesome! Even right out of the box. Can't wait to see the modifications. Keep us posted with pics along the way!

>>2814539
if it makes you feel any better, she's the super basic 2008 Pomock not the enhanced 2009 release. found her on Mandarake a few months ago for 2500 yen (which is about 30 bucks) + shipping so if you want her i recommend checking their site often.

I was also impressed with how it looks out of the box, but definitely want to make it into something more. I've never modified a dollhouse before so I'm a little nervous, hopefully it will turn out to be a fun project.

that isn't a problem, it only means that your Nendos will have a Hell of a cute dollhouse
I didn't have any Sylvanian/Calico Critters stuff, but I remember that in some threads from long ago some anons were saying the that stuff is in scale to the Nendoroids, seems that that info was correct, if you want furniture and/or stuff for your shinkis/figmas search for scale 1/12 or 1 inch scale, which is the one the fit in with these toy figures
>Can't wait to see the modifications. Keep us posted with pics along the way!
I second this

>>2814592

Indeed it's not! I actually own 15 Nendoroids (including Petites) as well as many figures that are Nendo scale or smaller. Plus the smaller shinki and figma girls can still hang around outside or in the top room of the house.

I would still like a house or den for my Shinkis and Figmas, but I wouldn't want to work on that until I'm satisfied with the treehouse home now. If anyone sees something that would be Shinki scale and suit the style of Shinkis though, please post the link my way. I just don't see them in a large, traditional dollhouse. Maybe I'll go for something more abstract like roomboxes mounted on a wall.

by the way, I tested some 1:12 scale furniture I own from miniatures.com (bought it a while back for a basic open room diorama) in the house and it is too big. apparently it's recommended to use 1:16 to 1:18 furniture with Calico Critters if you aren't buying the official furniture (which I didn't decide if I will yet). So if anyone knows of good sites selling doll furniture or accessories on that scale, I'd also be interested in that (I might be missing something but I can't seem to find that scale stocked on miniatures.com...and its not like that's the only site worth buying from anyway)

I'm decent with sewing, painting, adorning and arranging but I've never made furniture before so DIY furniture is probably out of the question for me right now unless I got someone else to custom make it.

>>2814688
oh yeah, and not to ramble about the scale thing but i thought i should clarify: Nendos DO fit 1:12 scale furniture just fine, but the furniture itself barely fits in the house at all. So it is oversized for the house, even though Nendos and Shinkis can fit 1:12, 1:12 cannot fit in the Calico Critters house without looking incredibly oversized and cramped.

just thought i'd clear that up in case anyone else is planning on doing something similar!

>>2814404
They don't sell this on Canada Amazon, so I think I'm going to try building one eventually. I'm a lazy fuck though. I'm jelly!!

>>2814688
>If anyone sees something that would be Shinki scale and suit the style of Shinkis though, please post the link
well, IDK if you know these sites, but they are worth to check anyway, maybe you can find something to go with your Shinkis

hetero guyfriend here
those stickers are fucking adorable and i'm jelly for your awesome treehouse.
I doubt i'll get to buying my first house for my actionfigures soon, but the idea is so tempting.

(captcha: niceties)

yesterday, I went to a Walmart type of store near in my city ( that kind that sell a large range of products) I pass by the toys secction, usually filled with those cheap quality toys, nothing than catch my eye, came across of two, one of which is the reason of this post, was a dollhouse that catch my attention when I crossed the section of girl's toys, judging the dimention it looked that it is in scale with nendos, it comes with a few cheap plastic furniture, and one or two figures,it has a store price of $54, it is tempting , the problem is that I don't have space for a big dollhouse and the fact that I don't own many nendos
Sorry the shitty, unsized quality of the photo, because I'm posting from a phone

>>2814949
I'm pretty sure that Amazon.com will ship to Canada. I could be wrong but I think you just have to pay more. Also Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families is a popular company since about 1985 so it would not surprise me if you could find it in Canadian toy stores (I have seen CC houses in even small toy stores in the US)
>>2815020
thanks for showing me Melissa&Doug, looks like that's the right kind of scale. Appreciate all the other links as well, I'm looking at them now.

I bought a few sets of CC furniture so that i could look at it in person and figure out if it was what i wanted to use in the house. no pics right now but here's some main points:

- even though the furniture is the official scaled furniture, its hard to fit more than ~3 pieces of furniture in any of the rooms without the room looking very cramped
- most CC furniture has square or hard edges, but the rooms in the treehouse are round. this means the furniture cannot line up to the wall properly in most cases
- official CC furniture comes in a variety of sizes. most of it is perfectly scaled for Nendos but some furniture is for the "baby" critters and this furniture only fits Petit Nendo size. chairs are too "low" for most small Busou Shinki/short Figma, they can sit in beds but not lie straight in them. so this confirms that CC is not suitable for figures larger (taller) than Nendoroid.

>>2816486
she is cool, i like her a lot but she is not my favorite Shinki, so i don't know if i will ever get the newer version.

>>2818630
that is why i decided my first project was going to be the treehouse - decorating, furnishing and painting something is a lot easier to complete for people like me (i'm prone to project ADD) than starting from scratch.

>>2818930
i showed this thread to my IRL guyfriend and i want to believe you are him because i would give them to you (he likes 80s cartoons which is why your post makes me suspicious...)

>>2819004
can't tell too much from the pic but i see it could be cute, if you don't own many nendos you are probably better off making a room box, since they can be stored away and are much more portable.

>>2819378
good review point on that CC furniture my good Anon

>>2819386
you are right, as I only have at this moment 4 Nendos (Konata & Haruhi, which sadly are bootlegs, buy them cheap so no buyer remorse, and Cheerful Miku & Megurine Luka), but have in pre-order the Cheerful Luka and Winter Gravedigger Miku, the thing is that I'm almost sure that down the road maybe I will end buying more nendos

>>2819432
this is going off the topic of dollhouses but some bootleg Nendos are actually surprisingly good quality.
i think it's not really moral to buy them if you can afford the real ones since that hurts the company business, but if you aren't able to, well it's okay... plus you are still supporting some guy in china who needs bootleg toy money to eat.
i own 1-2 figures that i suspect might be bootlegs or recasts, i did not buy them knowing this [i just started figure collecting then and had no idea about bootlegs]. yet they look good and i enjoy them, and so i feel there's nothing wrong with that.
Konata is one of my favorite Nendos, also the one i wonder about being a bootleg as it happens, i don't suppose you have any non-blurry pictures of yours?
to get closer back to the topic of dollhouse, please enjoy some room porn (not mine)

>>2819479

>Head too big
>can't get up

Poor Nendo.

>>2819478
> i did not buy them knowing this [i just started figure collecting then and had no idea about bootlegs]
same here, soldier, the nendo Konata & Haruhi were actually my first two nendos, and by that time I didn't knoe the existence of bootlegs figures, I agree that is always better to buy the original one, only if the original is really expensive or very rare to find it, you should get a bootleg (if it is cheap) or if you want to use the nendo as a base for some custom (pic related), otherwise a bootleg never worth your money IMO

Konata is one of my favorite Nendos, also the one i wonder about being a bootleg as it happens, i don't suppose you have any non-blurry pictures of yours?

I think I take some photos some time back and I will take some pics tomorrow and post them so you can compared to your Konata

>>2819512
I don't have any pictures of her where you can see the full details that make me suspicious, but I'll try and take some to post later. She's actually sitting in my treehouse right now, but I haven't made much progress on it as I'm waiting on some craft materials.
It's getting late so i might not do it until tomorrow....will be interesting to compare our Konatas!

>>2819386
Sadly i'm not, since i know no girls that would be into toys
I do own two castle greyskulls and those are basicly cheapy dollhouses for boys. I plan to restore one of them as much as possible to its original state, but the other one i planned to install lighting in for cool in the dark effects. I'm a craft-degenerate so i'm probably going to use christmas Lighting to spice things up, and give it another colour or something give the trapdoors a wash etc.
This is a very inspiring thread, and if i ever start revising castle gayskull i'll update here as soon as possible

Finally got going on my "miscellaneous" room box again.

>>2833543
>>2833793
>>2834261
pretty good rooms you have there Andy, I would sugget for your 'miscellaneous' room, some pics from modern or classic artpieces, your dinner room needs more plates on those cabines, but that is my opinion, that game room is awesome, dat pool table and dat chess board... are the little chess pieces loose from the table?

I also set up a reading room to use some of my weirder furniture.

>>2835748
Thanks.
Good suggestions.
I should have done more plates, but I was too lazy. It took a while to do as many as I did. Holding them with tweezers & trying to get them to lean correctly was less than fun.
All of the chess pieces are separate. They're metal and the chess board is magnetic. The table has a chessboard pattern printed on it, but I didn't want to mess with all of those loose pieces. I was afraid I might bump the room box or the table it was on. I know they would scatter to the farthest reaches of the room if they rolled out of there.

The main reason I was suspicious was because I can not get her hair seam to fit properly. Maybe it is a GSC manufacturing flaw? Or does she look like a bootleg to you?

Even with the flaws, still one of my favorite Nendos.

oh yeah, and also the stub for her cat ears headband is so bad that it literally has to "balance" on her head- it can NOT slot into her head and be held there. her cat tail which I didn't include in the picture also doesn't fit very well. But the coloring of her hair is more vivid, like the genuine version.

Does anyone know how long shipping from miniatures.com takes? It's been like 2 weeks since I ordered a tea set from them and I don't even know if it's been shipped yet. Their website just tells me it's been "entered" whatever that means. I did get the free catalog from them though.

Andy, there is someone calling you at the door

>>2847175
Where do you live? I live on the East Coast and I ordered from them twice, got the package in less than 5 days each time

>>2847175
I've received orders anywhere from 4 to 9 days after placing them. Usually 4 to 6. A few times it was 7, and once it was 9.
They're located in Georgia, and I'm in New Hampshire.
Their FAQ says to allow at least 24-hours after submission to view your on-line order. If you do not see your order, contact them via email or call customer service.
I hope this helps.

In the toy aisle I stumbled upon these fisher price 'loving family' sets and I really dig them.

Thinking of getting the kitchen set and maybe some of the others.

I believe that your maybe isn't a bootleg as the inside hair piece have a internal transparent piece to connect the face, that's too troublesome to be done by a bootlegger IMO, also my konata comes with the white akira petit nendo, which doesn't disassemble, do your can be disassembled?

Are these the right size for shinkis?

So I want to make my own little room box. Not a full one just a floor and 2-3walls. The problem is I don't have any saws to cut the wood. Will home depot or other kind of place cut my wood for me?

Thanks for the link. You did a GREAT job! I loved the bathroom scene.

I really need to get going on Yotsuba's room box.

>You did a GREAT job!
....and again I mistakenly make everyone believe that the images were mine, sorry those images aren't mine, just found it in figure.fm and I wanted to share them (I really need to be careful next time to avoid any confusion)

great photos!!

Yes... YES! Gotta have that HMOE miku now.

/toy/ I need your advice!
I've always loved dollhouses, but I've never done anything more than lloking at them in shops. But seeing this thread made me finally want to try and build/decorate one myself. But, where to start?
The huge amount of stuff available online makes my head spin, and I have no idea what would be a good project for an absolute beginner.

As a student I have neither a huge budget nor a great amount of space. Room boxes seem like an inexpensive way to get started, but I also find the 1/144 houses utterly adorable. I'm guessing because they're so tiny they require more skill?

Are there any Europe based alternatives to miniatures.com? Buying stuff in dollars isn't as cheap as it used to be, and shipping prices will be pretty high.
