Hi, welcome to Half Scale Studio! My name is Melissa, and my channel is mostly for those who are interested in building and personalizing 1:24 scale house and furniture miniatures.
I have been assembling 1:24 house kits as a hobby for around four years now. I soon realized after I started that there weren't many projects online for half scale, and the full-scale projects didn't always convert well to half scale. So, I started designing and making my own furniture, lighting, and other house items. I’m hoping to share what I learned so that you can create miniatures that reflect your personality.
Fun facts:
1. You will hear, "Dang it, something else fell onto the carpet!" frequently on this channel.
2. Toothpicks are my favorite tool for constructing miniatures.
3. I have an unhinged attention to detail.

Versatile Couch 1:24
Переглядів 103 місяці тому
You can use the basic couch pattern and make all sorts of styles by changing the arms! If you made the couch already, it isn't difficult to change it into a more contemporary style than Mid-century modern, or even a traditional style such as Craftsman. I start by explaining that you will make three of the square backs for either a contemporary or Craftsman style. SUPPLIES 1. Strips of basswood ...
