If you mean me, the rooms are about 10 inches x 12 inches. They are adapted from a Hobbies plan (pic in my profile) of a half timbered, thatched cottage and from what I have seen on TV and in magazines and the net, low ceilings are a fairly essential feature.

I'll look forward to seeing your progress. It may make me get a move along!

In a late Victorian property you could probably have high ceilings.

Did you change your mind about a 1930s property or is this in addition? (Or have I got the wrong member )


Wrong member lol

I'm sorry to hear you have been unwell, Tony.

Dollshouse building should be a nice convalescence for you and lift your spirits if being sick has made you down. Just remember to take it easy, wear a mask when cutting mdf and most importantly.... take lots of photos!
