The Corner Shop by Petite-Properties
The Corner Shop was the first ‘kit’ package to be released by Petite Properties’ in their exciting new quarter scale
series. The inspiration for this shop came from the traditional red brick vernacular of Hertfordshire where Bea
Broadwood was born.
On her web site Bea says:
“All of my 1:48th scale kits are designed to be a fusion between scratch building and normal kit construction, for
'hands on' miniaturists who wish to build their own houses following step by step instructions, but without the need
for woodwork. There are a wide variety of techniques included in each book which 'once learnt' are of
course transferable to other miniature projects and in turn other scales too; making them incredibly versatile!!!”
Each ‘Kit Package’ within Petite Properties’ unique quarter scale series consists of a precision ‘laser cut’ kit used to
create the structure of the miniature property and is complimented by a high quality booklet which provides step by
step, detailed instructions on how to construct and finish your 1:48th dolls house; both inside and out.
The size of the completed project is 3.3” (8.5cm) wide by 8.3“ (10cm) deep x 5.9”(15cm)in height.
Please note: you will require very basic, inexpensive craft materials to create the interior & exterior finishes, such as
small pieces of paper, card and air dry clay, these are not included in the kit.
