Miniature Dolls' Houses in 1/24th Scale : A Complete Guide to Making and Furnishing Houses
Newton Abbot. UK: David & Charles, 1999. Illustrated by Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations / Diagrams. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 4to 071530836X Dust jacket complete, unclipped.. Laminated illustrated coloured boards. 160 pages clean and tight. Making model dolls' houses in 1/24th scale (half an inch to the foot) is seen as skilful and beyond the scope of the average model maker, but nothing could be further from the truth. Beautifully detailed scale models can be created using only the most basic tools, and the finished houses have the advantage of being only half the size of a 1/12th scale dolls' house, making them much cheaper to build and far more portable - a finished 1/24th scale model for example will fit easily on to a book shelf or a table top. Miniature Dolls' Houses will give you the confidence to create models in this rewarding scale. Clear, step-by-step advice is provided on all aspects of their construction from the basic tools and equipment required to recreating period architectural details such as door and window styles or ageing and weathering techniques. Two starter projects - a corner room and a box room - give you the perfect chance to fine tune your modelling skills. In addition detailed plans are provided for four houses including a thatched cottage, a double-depth Georgian town house opening both to the front and the back, and a Tudor manor house complete with great hall and minstrel's gallery. Each of the finished models is photographed fully furnished and accessorised. To complete your finished model to maximum effect, a section is provided with a sample of 1/24th scale furniture plans including a table, chair and bed, which will help the miniaturist to dress their period home. Covering every aspect of building houses in this exciting and challenging scale, Miniature Dolls' Houses is destined to become the most comprehensive guide to modelling in 1/24th scale.
