Hello all...

https://www.teenytinythings.co.uk/shop.php

I've been 3D printing for a lot of years now and I now have several printers. These have made my life much easier in terms of I no longer need to bend wire to make prams but more difficult in the fact that I now just want to design millions of things and I still have not enough time. 😆

Ok so I'm not sure what I have showed you but here is a gate... a gate I made just because I could! I think it's great and better still I can make these in any side or even any style you like. Email me at Enquiries@teenytinythings.co.uk if you would like a gate or fencing made to order.

I also made my own version of an old retro game console the Atari. It features a removable games cartage which slots in just like the real thing.

I made some crates - credit for this design to Jaakko Ruutiainen.

These little crates and bottles are perfect for a miniature shop... they can be made in any colour or painted and I can make them to order. Again drop me a message if you would like one making. Email me at Enquiries@teenytinythings.co.uk

I made a new crib... might make dome more different modern designs of this. This one (at the time of writing is available.

Well that's all for now. Enjoy your miniatures.

1/12th Scale Carriage Pram

Hello Mini Friends,

So I've been super busy as always but I've decided that however many new platforms there are for sharing what you've been up to, I still like this old thing as well as facebook :)

I cannot get my head around Instagram, I tried but it just isn't me. It seems there are too many different platforms and I just don't have the time to learn how to use them all. I even tried a different blog platform but it just never uploaded anything so I gave up. Therefore I have decided that I like blogspot and facebook best.

I thought I would also add to each post a way to contact me since people sometimes msg me asking this so so...

So in the months since last time I have been designing and printing more in 3D I made another 1/12th scale carriage pram because I wanted to test out my new kit and make sure it all works. The new carriage pram kits have less screws and less parts and I have made them even easier since this photograph was taken. They still take a long time to put together though so this is why I brought out kits as I got tired of making the same prams over and over again and I never had any time to spare. The carriage pram kits cost £56 and are available in my shop.

I also designed some new stroller/pushchair kits so below is the prototype for the kit to show you how it looks when completed. These new stroller kits cost £19.99 and are in my shop now.

12th Scale Stroller

At the moment I am just updating my website and shop with the hope of filling it up with more minis. I am also working on my new highchair design and baby walker in 12th scale so home to finish these soon.

Till next time...

Miniature Strollers with Car seats

Hello Mini Friends

So following my last post I’ll continue to show you all the other strollers I made up last year.

After deciding to change the frame shape of my modern strollers to something a little more exciting and, I hasten to add, easier to construct I played with the design a bit more and found I could easily make strollers (or pushchairs as we call them in the UK), with multi positional seats and other attachments so this gave me an idea. I wonder if you ever seen those strollers that seat two children but instead of being side by side, one child sits slightly below the other. Well I decided to see if I could replicate this in miniature and this is how it turned out.

1:12th Scale Miniature Dollhouse Twin Pushchair

As you can see this twin stroller has two seats that will sit up or lay back although with limited space they don’t have a huge range of movement but I am still pleased with the outcome.

As I was working on another idea a lady contacted me regarding a car seat. I was already working on a miniature car seat but it had hit the back burner for a while since I was so busy with everything else. I retrieved my project and began making adjustments. I had decided that it would be possible to make attachments that would connect it to the stroller frame and all I needed to do at this point was some fine tuning. The fine tuning can still take a few weeks but eventually I had created a tiny car seat that sat on a stroller frame and her she is.

My lovely customer was very happy with this and that made me even more pleased with my creation. The tiny car seat also fits into most 1/12^th scale model cars which just adds to the fun.

1:12th Scale Care Seat

As always, I am never happy so I set about making a stroller seat that would attach to the frame and could be removed and replaced with the car seat. This concept worked really well and not only this but the seat could be made to face forward or face dollhouse mom as well as sit upright or lay back fully.

So the result is a stroller with a multi-positional, removable seat that can face in either direction and an attachable car seat. The stroller seat is lightly padded with a full harness with a tiny side release buckle. The car seat can be attached to the stroller frame with two tiny attachments. The car seat has a hood, a removable handle; it is lightly padded and has a tiny three point harness. I made three which as all available by clicking here since I didn’t get chance to put them up for sale till this year.
