Victorian Dollhouse
1:12 scale
.
- Made from a Duracraft kit, this dollhouse has
been upgraded to a much higher level by
adding a large amount of solid wood trim,
which in turn helps to reinforce the joints.
- It is sturdily constructed using wood glue. The
base is reinforced with a wood frame
underneath the entire house. The roof is
reinforced with a one-inch ridge cap.

shellac finish. The house is painted with a
variety of latex paints, including the exterior
walls, interior ceilings and all of the trim,
inside and out.
