1. When you asked them for custom sizes, did you give them measurements for the doors and windows, or were those standard?
2. Can they make the walls higher, or is 14" the maximum?
3. Do they also make "wall boards/trim" -- like crown-moulding and running boards along the floor and ceiling? (I didn't see a lot of options for it in 1/6 scale).
4. How much did your custom requests run you?
5. Can anyone confirm if these MDF walls can take glue of any kind (to add wallpaper)? Or is that similar to the "water"?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Hi Mark.
I did not mean to imply that what you see here was a custom order. I just ordered products listed on their Etsy store. I wrote that they might do customs, because, if I recall correctly, I saw a review where someone was thanking them for helping him (or her) with a custom project. I think that especially if you can convince them that the custom design they might do for you would sell more generally, they might not up the price much, if at all. Also, ordering an X amount of a certain element might make more fiscal sense than otherwise. I am also positive they have square windows at least in twelfth scale, and I can't see why they would have any trouble making them in sixth scale.
I don't know that they could do crown molding (assuming you mean that curved profile), though you could potentially find some of that in some other Etsy stores; I saw some Etsy listings for sixth-scale (not just twelfth-scale) hardwood floor boards, for example (which are very thin and would have to be glued onto the floor surface). As for regular molding along the bottom of the wall, if that is just like a plank, I cannot see them having any trouble making some as a simple custom.
I have not yet experimented with them taking glue, but from the product descriptions and the reviews, I think they are supposed to work with glue and with painting. In fact, they seem to be intended for that.
