Making Character Dolls' Houses in 1/12 Scale

by Brian Nickolls

This text presents five dolls' house projects that aim to appeal to dolls' house makers and model-makers alike. Complete plans and instructions are given a traditional cider barn; a forge complete with hearth, anvil, bellows and workbench; a small country pub with a fully equipped bar and lean-to store; and an electronically-powered watermill where the undershot wheel actually operates the millstones, sack hoist and flour dresser. For the more ambitious woodworker, there is a nine-roomed Georgian house with a pull-out garden incorporated into the base. A comprehensive introductory section describes all the necessary materials, methods and techniques, aiming to give even a relative beginner the confidence to tackle the projects.
