i "met" a German lady through a facebook-group about minis. She was looking for somebody to make an old stove for her in 1:24 ! I offered to give it a try...also having in mind, that if she might like something more professional or different...Caramel will be very happy to have his "right-size" kitchen! As you can see...he has already started making cookies! :)
These old stoves are called "Kachelofen or Kachelherd" in German, meaning "stoves/cookers with tiles" , they were very common in older days- perhaps still are in many houses today, more modern , but still ever so cosy and comfortable! I am sure all Dutch and Scandinavian friends here will know! :)
As i said, this is a first try, also first time i tried making something so very small. I had found the measuring of a real one , which was 1 meter 55cm in height,1 meter 45 cm broad, stove and heater together...so i scaled that down to approximately 6,5 cm high. Originally these pieces are "stuck" together..but i preferred to make them seperately in order to see in which way they look better! How good that in a dollhouse you don't have to be so strict about the oven-pipes! :)
The "tiles" i composed after having found pictures on the internet, and printed some sheets...seperate "real tiles" will look nicer of course!
Now..1:24 is really small...even my smallest "cook-book" looks large here! :)
There are many tiny details still missing...but i just had to show you! :)
just in order to compare the sizes, 1:12 and 1:24 !
It's perfect for Caramel. He looks very very happy.

Yes, I've heard of these "Kachelofen", Anne, but I never have seen one in real life! It seems very cosy and convenient to me in winter, like now with all the snow, hot cup of coco etc. mmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job, it all looks good. The 1:24 scale is small, but there still are smaller scales to work in miniature :D!!
Warm hugs, Ilona
Hello Anna,
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful. Congratulations, the stove looks wonderfula nd very well made. I am sure they must be happy to have such a great place to cook.
Big hug,
Giac
Bellissimo! E che dolce che è il piccolo cuoco!
ReplyDeleteHey Anna, der Herd und der Kachelofen sind wirklich ganz entzückend geworden. So hübsch... da ist Praline bestimmt stolz, so etwas in der Küche zu haben... und wenn dann noch Plätzchen und Kuchen duften... das gibt einen herrlichen Nachmittags-Kaffee. Eine wirklich schöne Szene.
ReplyDeleteSchicke ganz liebe Grüße an Dich mit
