Default difficult

I thought I was clever coming up with my design and prototype for the house
but sorting out room sizes, furniture sizes, WIRING LOOM and switches,
making 27 working windows plus doors, access to the house, what scale to
use, finding I have to make everything if I want modern 'cause local shop
supplies are mostly Victorian or vintage.........AAHHhhhhh!!!!!!!
just as well I allowed 2 years to make it!!!! :-) And I still haven't
got a clue where I'll get some "modern style" dolls in 1/12 scale.
I make aerobatic planes, racing boats, hydroplanes, micro yachts.........
Non of them have driven me half as crazy as planning this "dollhouse".

Cheers
Glen

There are a lot of modern minis available but you will have to get them by
mail order. There's a group on Yahoo dedicated to modern minis and you
might want to check them out. I'm in the business and I work with customers
to get the things they want and it's not an easy, nor inexpensive task. I
have to order from all over the world and pay shipping and then there's the
currency exchange. Your local shop might be willing to work with you.

May I suggest a "starter house". Get a cheapy kit, put it together and do
some practicing. Your child will have something to play with while you work
on your own project.

We stock a ton of modern minis (including dolls) available to ship
pretty much anywhere in the world - also if you spend over $90 on
furniture and accessories you'll get FREE shipping (not including
house kits for obvious reasons).

Unfortunatley, these modern items are mixed in with our period pieces,
but I think you find what you need without too much effort -
everything's sub-divided into sections:

Furniture - http://www.dollshouse.com/asp/redire...dhecode=lineup
Accessories - http://www.dollshouse.com/asp/redire...code=accessory
Dolls - http://www.dollshouse.com/asp/redire...?dhecode=dolls

Possibly the most useful feature for you will be our roomsets - there
are many entire rooms kitted-out with modern items:

Roomsets - http://www.dollshouse.com/asp/redire...?dhecode=rooms

Anybody reading this after November 1st 2004 will have to go to our
homepage and navigate from there - our site is changing slightly on
this date.

Hope this is of some use to you.
