I'm C-Williams on DA so if you've seen that I've been by... that's me *waves*<br /><br />I'm making a 1/48th doll house, my first, which is a partial kit. It's actually a shop and I plan of making my own blue prints for shops and houses to make an entire street scene when I'm done with it. If I don't cut my fingers off with the saw. I'm doing all the furnishings and items for the inside. Currently it's a butcher shop and I've started on making stuff to go in it. But I have a question for when I get to where I need canes of fruit, (meat is okay to vary) do you have any tips for keeping the center of the cane from deforming when you reduce it? I've failed at this with orange canes in the past.me and my museshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214766380603140750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-74321632274427308692010-07-25T06:08:37.926+08:002010-07-25T06:08:37.926+08:00Thanks for the temple massage, dear. :)

At last someone who's just as obsess...Hi Cindy! At last someone who's just as obsessed with scales as I am :-) Nice job! Since I'm doing the Lundby scale and am used to the metric system but buy things from sellers that work in 1" scale I just had to learn how to do the math :-) You could mention that one inch is 2.54 cm. When I see something in 1" scale I multiply it with 2.54 to get it in centimeter and then with 16 to see what it would be in fullsize. The 1:16 scale equals 3/4" scale and 1:18 scale equals 2/3" scale.<br /><br />Lundby is by the way closer to 1:16, perhaps even on the large side, almost 1:15! Both their men and women are at the present 11.2cm tall, that equals over 201cm in 1:18 and 179cm in 1:16! And the 1:16 scale suits the height of their kitchen benches and furniture better too. I always use 1:16 when I calculate the scale for my Lundby house furnishings and accessories. And because of your post, I finally got around to write a mail to Lundby and correct them :-)<br /><br />And I love your food, I think you are one of the absolute best food miniaturists I have seen!Pubdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437757001376468255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-89398701072271387542010-07-23T14:02:10.982+08:002010-07-23T14:02:10.982+08:00Oy, Cindy, the math definitely makes my head hurt!...Oy, Cindy, the math definitely makes my head hurt! :(<br /><br />But, you have laid it out so wonderfully for people to know. :)<br /><br />I like making things in 1/12th scale but, I think they really want it smaller than life size scaled down... the smaller the better, it confuses me!<br /><br />Very informative post, I'll be back to keep checking on the scales, I'm learning so much. :)<br /><br />Have fun with the girls :) Wish I could be there in person. :)dalesdreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304656921813405064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-48718341335216002432010-07-23T09:21:40.303+08:002010-07-23T09:21:40.303+08:00ah.

I swear it is not the same as simple division because you can't divide metric by 12. I think you must convert measurements to inches , divide by 12 then convert back to metric? Ok major headache coming. Also the base 8 or 12 or 16 is so confusing as compared to base 10. I just found out to my horror that my ruler uses base 10 for an inch!!! You know what I mean? Instead of showing me 1/16" divisions or 1/8" it shows 1/10"!!!! OUCH, head hurts more now. Tomorrow, you tell me Cindy? :)<br /><br />I now just scale everything to my dollhouse. But I am sure you do need to worry about scale and be very specific when you sell online.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-46585671532625604182010-07-22T22:35:21.878+08:002010-07-22T22:35:21.878+08:00very informative and educational, thanx for the po...very informative and educational, thanx for the post ! i am interested, pls continue !!<br /><br />i usually just guess the scales, can't be bothered to calculate accurately. i guess i should start calculating actually, cos occasionally i would make something really off the proportion =PBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148349968555050369noreply@blogger.com
