1:48 scale Toadstool Cottage

Getting a bit carried away here, I think. I found Fiona Broadwood’s site, Petite Properties, again today. It was one of my Favourites on my old laptop and it was great to find it again. And I went ahead and ordered Toadstool Cottage.


It will be interesting to see what is included in the kit for this house. It comes with precision cut pieces for the kit, and a book with instructions on how to finish and personalize it all.  I've included photos from the site showing the book (and the front view) and one of the house with the front wall removed, showing the inside.

It is a very reasonable price, much cheaper than any of the other house kits I have bought. In fact it is only about a quarter of the cost of the other kits. So I have more than a passing suspicion that there isn’t much in the way of brickwork etc supplied. However if I am happy with this house I want to gradually build up the collection as they are released, and to get the previous two buildings that have already been released as well. And I think that Miss Marple’s Cottage and TeaRose Cottage will fit perfectly in with them too.

This cottage is full of character and I'm really looking forward to adding it to my collection.  Have no clue what era I'll set it in as yet, just want to build it!
