Dollhouse siding
I saw a dollhouse where the siding was machined into the exterior walls.
I wonder if anyone has any info on this and perhaps where I can purchase it. Thanks much Carl |

What you are seeing is called "Milled siding". In kits it comes as
milled MDF or milled plywood. Some of the dollhouse manufactures offer sheets of the milled panels, but usually they just have pre-cut panels for replacement of damaged panels that are in their various kits. Another option is to skin your dollhouse in siding. There are sheets about 3.5" x 24" x 1/16" thick that can be applied to the dollhouse, or individual strips of lap siding. I have used all of the above and fine that the individual strips look the best, either painted or left natural.

I have to agree with you that the milled plywood or MDF is not as nice
looking as the panels. The premilled stuff seems to be flatter than the panels and not as realistic looking. It's certainly easy to put on the siding, although it can get expensive if a lot is needed. Carol S P Miniatures www.spminiatures.com "John Fowler" wrote in message ...
