Amazing Miniatures Post Oh boy, it’s been a while. Do you miss me? I sure miss everyone! I know my last few posts lacked any substance and I tried to get back into the rhythm for the holidays, but eventually decided to just take a break from miniatures and this blog for a bit. Hope you didn’t mind. 😉 I’ve been telling fri...
Trying to figure out a proper placement for the front door of the Nyne House, an original dollhouse designed by Amazing Miniatures. This is just a quick post.. Remember the post where I was mulling over where to put the main entrance for the Nyne? Well, its been decided after the Reac chairs came in the mail! I set up where I planned to place the chairs and it does indeed allow ample space for the main entrance to be on the \rig...
Part 4 of the Nyne Dollhouse building series where the main first floor is worked on with the Band-it iron on wood product. This is going to be a long post with lots of pictures. While it is still work on the Nyne, this is largely an experiment/how-to-guide using Band-It wood veneer strips, wood filler, and wood stain. When conceptualizing the Nyne, my initial idea was to have the floors be removable. To plan for that, I...

Its all about planning! Picture...
The 2nd part of the Nyne House series where I start to build the first floor walls of the dollhouse. These pictures have been sitting in my hard drive for a few days, but I only got around to editing and posting them until now. Its not much, its just putting up the first floor, load bearing walls for the Nyne. I used polyurethane Gorilla Glue and “nailed” in toothpicks (pictured above) to join the ...
A dry fit of the Nyne House: A modern dollhouse made from styrofoam designed by amazing miniatures. Can I tell you how annoying it was to cut 3/4″ thick foam with a hobby knife? Its not as horrible as hand sanding, but it was pretty obnoxious. My cuts are not clean or perfectly square because it was all done by hand. Of course, it wasn’t until AFTER I cut everything out that I found out that there...
The first original Amazing Miniatures designed dollhouse, the Nyne house. So this is the project that I dreamt up a few months ago and have been planning since. I actually started working on it a few weeks ago in my spare time (which is very limited) and have only got to the framing process. Remember a post I made a long while back? The Nyne House is sort of it’s great, g...
