Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who's shown interest in my new kits, They have been exceptionally well received and so far this week have sent orders to New Zealand, NSW, QLD, and Spain with multiple orders to go out tomorrow to the UK, the USA, NZ and NSW. and orders awaiting completion to Tasmania and more to Spain. It has been a little more than I was expecting, but I know that these will go to good home builders and I do look forward to seeing the endeavors from around the world. I have been busy cutting out and boxing up 6 kits at a time on my bench which has been fun.
I would like to show photos of peoples finished houses on this blog, so as an incentive to anyone who sends me a photo of their finished house that I can post on this blog, I would like to supply a small laser engraved plaque with your house name, builders name and date built as a thank you. I will be finalising the design for this shortly and will post a picture of some options.

Firstly Thank you to all who have visited my blog and the interest shown in my doll houses. Today I finalised the 1/48th Tudor Mill. It was fun scaling it down to 48th, but I think I did well, you be the judge.
Mind you I still have the doors to fit and I've noticed that the grinding stone is missing but at this stage its easy to partially dismantle to fit the stone.

I have just joined a couple of online forums to add to my other interest collection, and while I was at that I thought you might like to see parts of the Craftsman bungalow that I displayed at the Sydney show and have now packed away while I work on the Theatre
although these rooms are not finished by any stretch they still show where I'm heading. I will be adding working lights and switches, door hardware and then detailed weathering before the room gets dressed.

through to the owners office at the right.

Painted Lady Bases
Bases 1 - 5, Left - Right with an assortment of concept models as I was refining the finished Painted Lady version1, a peak behind the curtains so to speak. This also shows that the kits can be finished with garages or basement windows. And what could you do with the driveway or front garden. This is also why I developed the removable interior so if you build a street scene you can still work on the interiors.

Kit and Postage pricing updated 10/07/14
UPDATE:
As I now have an Internet shop at http://barnardbuilt.com/ which has my range of kits and priceing in different currencies and a postage calculator when items are added to a cart there is no need to update this page any further.
Thanks to Kim H. putting out the word on different 1/48th forums I have been getting a lot of interest in the 1/48th houses and in pricing and availability.
So here go's........
1/48th Painted Ladies, all versions as I get them drawn ..........Aud
{Version 1 currently available, Italianate in the next couple of weeks, a 5 further
versions to follow} Weight for postage <3.5kg with base
1/48th Street Base to suit Painted Ladies ........$Aud or $ if ordered
with house. Bases range from Number 1 - 6 as they get higher up the street.
The idea being that individuals can buy a house but then display it at a show
with other house builders. So within a group organising base numbers would
be helpful.
1/48 Fairy Tale Villa in boxboard and mdf ...........$Aud
weight for postage <1kg
1/48 Tudor Mill House in boxboard with wood dowel.......$Aud
Weight for postage <500gms
These are the current range but please contact me for a quote for any of the
houses in the dollhouse-catalogue or if you have any special requests. As I draw up
and cut my own kits, anything is possible...
Postage from Australia is not the cheapest as we have a monopoly operator and
couriers are even worse.
But to give you some idea of postage based on requests over the last couple of days
Painted Lady and base, 3.5Kgs Australia $Aud with signature
to USA $ seamail (2-3 months)
or Canada $ Air mail (7-10 days)
$ Express (3-7 days + sign)
but for additional kits within the same Air order would be $54.95each to a max 20Kgs
to UK $ sea mail
$0 Air mail
$ Express
to NZ $ Air mail
All postage will be at cost, and I will confirm with buyers before settling of account. Prices quoted are as of today's date in Australian dollars as per Aust Post postage-calculator . Smaller houses would be lighter and therefore cheaper to send.
For American buyers your dollar is currently higher than ours, so would be approximately 7% cheaper, but you can use a calculator to check conversion.
xe currency convertor or any other on the net. All currency conversions will be on the date of order being received.
To contact me about any further information please use the contact form at the bottom of the blog. Because this is early days I don't have a sales website yet and if I use Etsy or E-Bay my prices will have to go up to cover their charges. I have a PayPal acct and have found that it has been the easiest and safest way for me to buy goods around the world, but I am flexible.
