My new diorama project

As you all know I love fashion dolls but I also am absolutely in love with realistic accessories, furniture and environments for my dolls too! Over the last few weeks I have been accumulating some playscale dolls and bits and bobs for them to 'live in'. One of these consists of a very cheap Barbie 'my house' I picked up on eBay. The plan is to mash it up into a much more realistic backdrop for dolls. In this thread I will document how i get on!

Before

After with a bit of silver paint, although not as perfect as I had hoped!

With doll in situ!

Real!! excellent !! even the outlets , for the hair drier I suppose, those girls are so demanding hee hee

are the sconces Barbie's too?

you did a great job, and honestly even if you are not totally satisfied about the silver paint, from here, nothing wrong !!

Thanks Lilly, I find that a big complement coming from the expert in Diorama :)

I'm not sure what sconces are though...

sconces are the little yellow lights fixtures,  maybe sconce is a Canadian thing ;0)

I have found, once you are ready to accessorize, that Orcara and Mimo offer much more realistic takes on 1/6 scale accessories than Re-ment and Barbie do.  And you can find them on eBay.

So.  Cute.  I keep wishing that it was as easy to find items in the 1/4 size as it is in the 1/6 size!  I usually wish I had a magic wand to grow or shrink things!
