Please be aware that this is a web site, not a simple text file.

There is _much more_ at the web site than is posted here.

=======================================
Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What are some good magazines? How do I subscribe?

There are a number of miniature enthusiast magazines available
in different parts of the world. Here are two that are popular
and widespread:

Dolls House World

Heritage Press

Magazines are a primary source of information on regional and
international miniature shows, as well as contact info for
artisans of all types. House plans are often available from
individuals who list in the "personal" ads in the back of each
magazine.

2. Where can I buy miniature houses, furniture and acessories?

Look in your yellow pages phonebook for dollhouse shops or
craft stores. Dollhouse shops specialize in kits and acessories
for the hobby. Craft store sometimes sell miniatures, but more
often have all the raw materials for making your own. There is
no single "correct" source for purchasing supplies.

3. How do I install flooring/wallpaper/electricity in my dollhouse?

Most hobbyists agree that adding these elements as you build the
house is easier than adding them afterward. We're not sure yet if
tape wiring is better than round wire, though. For the text of
these discussions check the archives at the site listed above,
or look us up at Deja.com.

4. Are there any online sources for miniatures?

Yes! There is a growing number of retailers offering information
and/or products online. Aim your web browser at the FAQ page at the
top of this file and click away. In addition, several vendors
participate in the discussions here and welcome private e-mail
about their products.

5. What mail order sources are available and how do I get a catalog?

There are hundreds of commercial and private companies who offer items
by mail. A good way to get their info is to pick up a copy of a
miniatures magazine from your hobby shop or newsstand and flip through
the advertising sections. A selected list of mail-order retailers is
available at the web site, it has been edited to reflect those vendors
who offer both a variety of products and a free or inexpensive catalog.

6. Can I post a for-sale or auction ad here?

No. This is a discussion group devoted to miniatures and dollhouses.
Advertisments tend to turn this into a discussion group devoted to
advertising. Since we prefer to stay on topic we ask that you post
all commercial advertisements to rec.crafts.marketplace.

We thank the retail vendors who participate in this group for limiting
their advertising to a tag line or signature file unless specifically
requested to give further information to the group.

7. Where can I post pictures of my miniatures?

Your personal web page is the best place for pictures. If you do not
have a web page you can post to a binaries newsgroup. The newsgroup
alt.binaries.crafts.pictures was created just for crafts pictures. It is
a moderated group that only accepts crafts images. Post your image there
and come leave a note on the discussion group so we can find it. If
neither of those is an option (maybe your provider doesn't subscribe
to any alt.binaries groups regardless of content) contact dduperault (at )
aol(dot) com about having your picture put on the r.c.d FAQ site for a
short period of time. Please do not post images to this discussion group.
