My Worst Miniature Dolls House - Roof and Front. Beacon Hill Purists Beware!

Today (Day 34 of my 2024 miniaturists diary) I had a lot of thinking to do about the structural items in what I term my worst dolls house. I have never been happy about the walls alignment from the very first day I started the kit. So, I devised a way to address that and fix any walls that were not true. Let me know what you think. Also been thinking about the roof and tower; came up with a solution which may cause Beacon Hill miniature dolls house enthusiasts to turn away! And towards the end of the video, I show the front of the 12th scale steampunk house for the first time. Drop a comment if any questions. Regards, Jill.

I really love it

What a marvellous front of the house - well done!

I've always been fond of the weathered look on houses. Makes them more realistic I think.

Love the faded grandeur of the colour scheme of the front of the house it's very different.The idea of kit bashing and adapting the house to how it works best for you and to house all the owners possessions is great.Will love watching as the house develops further especially the double conservatory filled with birds.Best wishes from Yorkshire Dales England.

Ooh Jill I love it, love the gold leaf and copper, the other day I saw a beautiful doll house on facebook, and to me the front of it looks like a shelf unit and the owner had built onto the back of it to create the house, it looked amazing, certainly gave me some ideas and inspiration, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

You do get some great ideas just browsing Fb and TH-cam

Love where your imagination is taking you Jill and grateful we are coming along for the ride👏. Mind you I was a bit concerned when I saw the full scale hammer on top of the roof😂.

Yep, it would not do to let it on my head!! On a different note, not sure if I shared my free project downloads in an earlier video. You might find some of them of interest, and I don't mind if you share with your friends or club. The link is here: miniaturetimetraveller.com/free-projects/ Cheers, Jill

Thank you I had checked them out for future projects. Am working on your bookend idea for an ANZAC display and possible future club workshop.
