Quarter scale...aaaaggghhh!!

well I finally got down to it and started work on what I hope will be a whole new range of hats and dresses in 1/48 scale. I have had the bed and night table kits sitting around for ages waiting to be made and I finally did them this morning so that I would have some furniture to make up a photo. Most of the dresses have had more work done to them and I've done some hats as well but the light has gone now so I'll post this picture for this evening. My head's gone now...

Wow Janine - so small and beautifully done. They're amazing

love the little Chanel style suit. what is the lenght of it as i am having difficuly thinking that small.

It's 1 inch long Phyllis. I must admit it could be a bit 'out' for exact 1/48 but I don't use a pattern or anything so each one just comes out more or less. I sort of hover them around the tiny bed and see if they look right The hats measure between 1/4 " and 1/2" across and have wired brims...I must be nuts! I've been doing them on and off all day

Well it looks like it was worth all that time you put into it Janine. They're really good.

wow janine they are terrific, love the hat that matches the suit

Never mind the aaaagggghhh Janine - they are beautiful.

Thank you - but I'm now permanently cross-eyed!

Aaaah, we're after an excuse for the red wine huh

Fabulous , just fabulous . I dont know how you do them so tiny .

I've just put a new bunch on my website

All constructive criticism welcome

Wow. Wonderful as usual Janine. I dont know how you manage 1/48th. I find 1/12th taxing enough.

thanks Phyllis, I must admit I don't enjoy it as much and when the photos are enlarged I don't really like the way they look. It will be interesting to see if I actually sell any I have a couple of beds to dress this week in the same scale

Absolutely brilliant Janine

I sent the first lot with a friend to the Madrid show but when I spoke to her at lunchtime they hadn't sold anything...hope it's not a bad sign - the last Madrid fair was the same!
