Dollhouse Kits – explaining the difference
With many different companies and offers a beautiful dollhouse dollhouse designs, it is easy to let a visual interpretation of a dollhouse kit make your mind for you. There are a few things however that you should be aware of when choosing a dollhouse kit.
There are basically two types of wooden kits on the market today.
Die Cut Dollhouse Kits – For those of you not familiar with this term, I will try to explain how it works. You start with a large thin sheet of plywood, usually about 1/8-1/4 inch thick. The plywood should be thin enough to be a big "It" must be pressed into the plywood, score the actual wood complex shapes fitted together, form your dollhouse. Die Cut houses traditionally offer more extensive design options and complex finish. These houses are best suited for collectors when the plywood is thick enough to stand up to heavy play. Collectors love the design elements and well prepared for the extra time needed in the barns, filling and finishing pay the tab and slot design. These kits just glue them together to keep. The most popular cut Dollhouse Company in North America today, and Corona Concepts Greenleaf dollhouses.
Plywood cabinet Quality Doll House Kits – 3 / 8 "plywood is typically used in these kits. Assembly includes small as nails and glue. These houses are much stronger to play use, and their design is generally easier than the punched houses. Some of the higher end houses are wonderful with working components, turned porch spindles and many elements that perfectly replicate their larger counterparts. The smooth exterior plywood finish these kits can be painted, stucco can be added, or you can use real wood siding add a very realistic look. Real Good Toys Vermont is the largest and most respected maker of doll houses plywood in North America today.
Routed MDF – Similar homes milled plywood with solid MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibers combined with wax and resin, and formed into panels by applying temperature and pressure. It is much denser than normal particleboard. This MDF panels are cut similar to plywood, but they offer a unique difference. The siding of a dollhouse can be directly machined on the outer walls of MDF kits, creating a realistic outer finish with painted. MDF is heavy, a reasonable amount of business to resist and will take nails for mounting. Dura-Craft dollhouse MDF controlled the market for many years, and their destruction has left a hole in the doll market. Real Good Toys is now offering many of their dollhouse kits with a choice of smooth plywood or MDF finish, depending on the choice of consumers.
Plastics remain available as a dollhouse alternative for very young children.
Consider all this information when choosing a type of doll house kit to buy and avoid disappointment in your product.

Where can I find mold and resin kit to bjd / aka Ball Jointed Dolls
I search the web for resin mold making kits aka BJD Ball Jointed Dolls all I get are kits for baby porcelain dolls. I am also looking for online dolls classes.Please, if anyone knows where I buy the kit, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
I do not think you can buy any BJD molds in the U.S.. I think you would have your own sculpt BJD (not easy to make a functional BJD) and then molds to make yourself or if you are a professional and really made a good functional and moldable BJD, you could contract a Chinese maker BJD molds to pour but it is expensive -. Anyway here's the best list of links about creating your own BJDs. Note – many like the Noah's doll tutorial, but his neck is not normal. On a normal BJD is an extension of the neck and upper body a rounded end and the head has a circular shaped opening is on the neck. In the main, a way to attach elastic (an example is grooved boards on removable Stiff Little metal bar that crosses from left to right in the head to keep around to mouth level. http://bjd-wtf.livejournal.com/1879.html
