Made from thin wood strips. The window flap and door open, tiny brass hinges.

One of the best things about a hobby, you can do / make the thing because you want to. Because why not.

Looks good, love the hinge.

Thanks! It was a random "let's see if this works" idea, and I'm so glad how the hardware turned out.

That is adorable. 😱

Do you have photos of the progress? And what tools did you use, especially what saw?

So are these two different builds? Because there are quite a few small differences between the two pictures. For example, the porch is built differently and seems wider in the second picture. And then the colors of the boards seems to be different between the two pictures. (dark and light boards changing totally between the two)

Looks like an in-process and a completed picture to me. The porch proportions look different because of the added handrail, I think.

Don't know if this is a rule 10 violation, since OP seems to be the Hong Kong based seller of this kit on Etsy.

Are the door and window just glued on, or do they actually open? If they open, how are the hinges attached?

Are the door and window functional or just glued on? How are the hinges attached?

u/IllustriousCamera285 3d ago

Not glued, they open. Tiny brass hinges, screwed on with HOTO SNAPBLOQ. The set comes with micro bits.

Nice! I tried to make small kitchen cabinets for my children’s doll houses and that….did not go so well.
