    Something that people may look into for making miniatures is railroad models. They have kits for everything at a much cheaper price that can be made to many different sizes and degrees of finishes. Just a thought. My Dad belongs to a model railroad club and some of the things he's made over the years are absolutely stunning and amazing in detail. These kits would help with cost and time. They also have journals and magazines with how to's for inspiration and my Dad has published several articles in these magazines. The conventions have pre-made peices and kits for sale and are held all across the nation. Again, just a thought. Stan's work is phenomenal. I'm highly impressed. Makes me want to start playing with my house my Grandpap made for me as a girl. He hand made one of a kinds for each granddaughter before he passed. They are treasures in our family. I need to start decorating my house again!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

    • @RachelHoffmanDolls
      @RachelHoffmanDolls  Před rokem

      Wow, thank you for this insightful suggestion! Model railroad kits are indeed a fantastic resource for miniatures. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the model railroad community is truly extraordinary. It sounds like your Dad has not only been a part of this world but has also contributed significantly with his published articles. What a talent!
      Stan's work is indeed incredible, and it's heartwarming to hear how it stirred up memories of the unique house your Grandpap made for you. Such treasures carry a legacy of love and craft. Here's hoping you find joy and inspiration as you embark on the journey of decorating your house once again. Keep those family treasures shining, and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
      Warm regards,
      Rachel & Team

    You are absolutely right, you don’t recoup the cost, but making model homes a room box or dioramas has kept me sane during lockdown.
    Your talent is amazing. This was a brilliant vlog, well done both of you.
    (I have been doing really well with miniatures sellers on eBay, they are all independent, you develop a relationship with them if you are a regular customer, and this year they’ve been so appreciative that I usually find goodies in my order and discounts or free shipping.

  • @girliboi

    he should start a youtube channel.. if he's not making money on the houses, i'm thinking he'd make his profit on patreon by just turning on a couple cameras while he's working and then adding a voiceover after he's finished.. that said, thank you for featuring so many different creative/knowledgeable ppl on your channel, or else we would never have known about many of them..

  • @lynetteshorten6043

    absolutely LOVED these...I've just started making miniatures for my new dolls. I've taken over one shelf in my sewing room, one cube in my storage shelves and used an old hat box as a bedroom. If anyone remembers The Borrower's I've styled my miniatures on this idea. I love Stan's use of material. I teared up at the inside of the church. That was one of my dream homes which never materialized.

    If there is anyway ANYWAY to get a note to Stan, I am huge into reupholstering dollhouse furniture. Restoring wood pieces, sewing new pillows cushions, bedding, whatever. I would love to fix up some furniture for him. I'm also really good at making working lighting. I'm not looking for any gain, I would just love to make something to add to what he is making. Happy to help if he'd like. Blessing to all and thanks for showing these!
