12th scale Spiral staircase kit.

This simply beautiful spiral staircase is copied from a Polish original found in an abandoned house. This is the same staircase that we (Mini Vintage) have used in our Old Mill prototype. In the old Mill we use a 'Bottom Section' + 14 'Step Kits' as described below. This product as available on the Mini Vintage site is sold as 'one kit' suitable for use in the 'the Old Mill'. If you would like any different configuration then please order via www.alisondaviesminiatures.co.uk

Each step has stunning filligree and comes with a beautiful bannister post and rail.

The bottom step is slightly different to the other steps as it has a little base finial to finish it off.

The staircase is sold in "steps" with a bottom step option.

Each step measures approx. 15.25mm high x 37mm deep x 68mm wide

The Upright posts are approx. 81mm high with the handrail adding another 2mm to the height.



Bottom Step Kit contents:

1 x step

1 x Bottom hand rail (this is the longer handrail)

1 x Short top handrail

2 x Bannister posts

1 x Little floor flange

1 x Length 12" steel rod (for you to cut to size) (not shown)



Step kit contents:

1 x step

1 x Bannister post

1 x handrail section




Construction

This is a slightly harder kit to construct as it has to be supported during the build.

You will need superglue and a superglue activator (this simply sets the glue instantly and makes the whole job easier).

Always start with the bottom step but it can be constructed outside of the dolls house and then inserted when finished. Your only issue might be that you wont be able to secure the central rod into the floor and the ceiling. Ideally the floor would be added after the stairs are in position.

Sold in kit form these wonderful ceiling candelabras are stunning and would certainly make a statement in any 18th century or later room. In particular if you have a long thin room with a statementdining table then two at either end would be superb.

These are not electrified but the candle holders have been designed to accept a small candle bulb and therefore with a little bit of effort and time these could be electified.

Pair Pretty Antique Provence salt and pepper pots unfinished



Size

Approx. 5mm tall



These beautiful little salt and pepper pots are part of the Antique Provence range and come unfinished in dull pewter.

The pewter can be polished or painted. If painting please apply a thin layer of metal primer. This will help the coat of paint adhere to the surface.

12th scale weight scales

Length 20mm (including dish) x 17mm diam of dish.

The little kitchen scale would be ideal in a messy kitchen table scheme. It comes in 4 sections, the large base, the star shaped dish supports, the dial face (not the dial) and the dish. To create a glass face try using doming resin. It's incredible stuff. Simply mix the two parts together 1:2 and then using a cocktail stick drip it onto the dial face...the beauty is that it remains raised like a dome...it's very realistic. You can buy button/dome resin online

Made from metal and ready for painting.

Food Scoop

Finishes:

Supplied unpainted and in their raw state (pewter metal alloy), the plates can either be polished or primed and then painted (using a spray paint will avoid any issues with "clumping" and "brush marks").

A step away from my usual 18th century offerings is this rather lovely victorian camera. It comes in 4 sections but does not include a base. It would look wonderful in an office where maybe the occupier has a pile of old film and some photographs ready for framing or filing. I always feel that these types of item lend themselves to story telling. Not only can you indulge your love of all things mini but by adding such items to a room you begin to create a wonderful story. Who owns it? Why do they own it? What do sort of photography do they take? Ideas and imagination are endless and so much fun.

HOVIS bread tins

Small 1.4cm x 2cm x 1cm high

Large 2.7cm x 1.8cm x 1.3cm high

An iconic kitchen item designed for baking your bread. When the loaf is removed the bread would have had the impression of the word Hovis in the side of the bread!

The tins are created with the same font and design as the original with a small curled edge to the top of the tin to allow the bread to rise and flow over the edges.

When the item is supplied unpainted it will be supplied ready for tidying which will mean small nodules will need to be sanded or snapped off - this is super easy to do and takes just a minute or two.

Made from lead free pewter alloy.

IT for 12th scale Sewing Machine

The painted sewing machine is an example of what the kit will look like when painted.

I was brought up with a sewing machine - my first one not too disimilar to this one. I was about 7 and living in Norfolk. I remember thinking what fun it was spinning the wheel as fast as I could only to end up crushing my finger in the spoke!

The sewing machine is very easy to assemble. It has a little spool winding addition which you glue to the front of the machine. I have to admit the machine is not exactly the same as the original. Any machinists will instantly recognise the flaws! If you want to add a spool of cotton thread to the top you would need to glue it on or you could drill and small hole in the metal and glue in a small pin.

The machine is cast with a little machine foot and needle - some of the images are missing them as I was a little heavy handed with my file.
