the faraway tree dolls house build pictures

Here's a selection of pictures from the faraway tree build.

This is only some of the offcuts of balsa from making doors and windows!!

the door latches and hinges are made from flattened aluminium wire, pins and staples. Its quite tedious but does give nice results.

this is silky the tiny fairys door, with working latch. In all a couple of hours work!!

polymer clay ooak pennywise the clown

Its my little brothers birthday, what better gift could he receive than a one off sculpt of his and my favourite nightmare than........ Penny wise the dancing clown. This is still my favourite horror story and Tim Currys hammy yet terrifying performance still gives me the chills to this day.. Anyway after my brother visited at Christmas and saw a terminator style head I had sculpted, he asked if I could make him It, so here he is.... Sculpted to approximately 1/14 scale from fimo he is an interpretation and amalgam of a few different images I found online. I have yet to paint him. Overall for a fairly quick sculpt I am quite pleased, but I must admit I couldn't get his right arm to come out as well as I would have liked.

It has to be said.."they all float down here Georgie....."

16mm and g scale figures in resin

I thought it would be a good idea to post a picture of some of the 16mm scale figures I make and sell, I currently don't have a website but I do make figures in batches then list them on ebay, I also have customers who deal with me via email and purchase figures and kits this way. In the coming weeks I will post up all the figures I make with their references and anybody  who would like to order please feel free to send me a message.

Some of my 1/19 and 1/22.5 scale figures

1/19 ww1 figures for 16mm garden railways

As many of you know, I don't just build fantasy dolls houses, one of my other interests is figure sculpting in the garden railway scales. Here are some of my latest ww1 figures. These were released before Christmas, I am currently working on a lot of new products for this years shows and as they become available I will post them on here. Please feel free to message me with your ideas or indeed potential purchases!

Here are some atmospheric shots.

A quick note on the lighting, all the lights are 12 volt running into the conduit which runs behind the fire places, the fires are flickering bulbs which give a nice effect.

the faraway tree dolls house

Well its been too long since my last post, I have been incredibly busy the last few months with building a kitchen for some of our friends, as well as jobs round the farm, boiler breakdowns, renovating and fitting out a shop for my partner and her friend, all the while trying to keep orders rolling out and keep the tree coming along. Anyway it is now finished to the clients  specification and as a lot of time has elapsed I thought I should just post some completed pictures here.
