y also work in other fields, for example they made a vegetable garden for a 1:43 model railway so their
work is not restricted to the conventional scales of the doll’s house world. Most of their pieces are in either
1:12 or 1:24 scale but they have also produced houses in 1:48 and scenes in 1:43, 1:76 and 1:144. They have
also used Malcolm’s experience in electronics to produce a range of controllers for model railways and he is
currently developing control units for lighting in doll’s houses.
Apart from the ‘one of a kind’ items they produce they also have a range of items for the DIY enthusiast.
These include the range of Brick Impress Moulds that enable you to produce realistic brick, stone, tile and
slate finishes on miniature buildings. The range currently has 14 different patterns of brick, stone, etc in
each of the scales 1:12 and 1:24 and a new range of 1:48 moulds will be available later this year.
The years of modelling for Pendon Museum and a longstanding interest in vernacular architecture
makes Malcolm want to create accurate replicas of houses for the doll’s house market like this half
timbered house.
This means the correct
brick bond or stone finishes weathered to
make them realistic. Malcolm developed the Brick Impress
Moulds originally for his own use but they have become very popular and they
now ship them all over the world, as well as selling at the fairs. To help people
get the most out of the moulds they also have two DVDs explaining how to use
the moulds and other techniques for creating realistic buildings in miniature.
A third DVD about scenic modelling will be available in the near future.
