1/12th Scale 'Periwinkle Cottage'


This is 'Periwinkle Cottage'. I've just finished this 1/12th scale house and it's a little bit bigger than my usual builds - it has four rooms inside so it could easily be used as a bed and breakfast business or just a simple holiday hideaway.

1/12th Scale 'Compass Cottage'


This is 'Compass Cottage' which is my latest 1/12th scale seaside dolls house just completed. I used my favourite duck egg blue for the windows and door - I think it's a perfect seaside colour. I must be careful how much I use it though - the manufacturer has stopped making it so my supplies are running low!

1/12th Scale Seaside Kiosk


Paula asked me to build a 1/12th scale kiosk with an opening hatch door for her seaside village. I think it's going to be used to sell seaside accessories - buckets and spades and perhaps drinks, Paula likes to paint so she is happy to finish off the bare building when it arrives.

1/12th Scale Shop


A customer asked me to build a 1/12th scale shop and this was the result. It could be used for many different businesses - I always think that the green lends itself to something like a flower shop but it could just as easily be a gallery or a sweet shop!

1/12th Scale 'Smuggler's Nook'


This is 'Smuggler's Nook', a recently completed 1/12th scale seaside cottage. The little porch on the front gives a bit more space inside for storing wellies and coats and it also creates a small garden area to the front with just enough room for a chair and a few potted plants.

1/12th Scale 'Causeway Cottage'


This is my latest 1/12th scale dolls house just completed. 'Causeway Cottage' has the benefit of a scullery to one side or this could be used as a bathroom, store room or cosy snug.

1/12th Scale 'Honeypot Cottage'


I have long been an admirer of the wonderful houses made by Rik Pierce. I also realised a long time ago that I would never be able to afford to buy one for myself so I decided to have a go at making my own. Honeypot Cottage is the result. I used a lot of plaster, cardboard, egg boxes (for the bricks) and air drying clay and had a wonderful time building this project.
