Due to current high demand, the Old Mill kits can take longer than normal to produce, please be patient.
"The Old Mill" by Mini Vintage is a fully modular 1:12 kit that allows you to build your own unique factory.
You start with a front and end module and put as many extension modules in between as you like. You can also build just a single module, for example, to place against another building.
The great thing about this building is that you can always add modules later or modify the ones you already have. Only the structural items are glued giving you the opportunity to lift the roof and remove one or more walls for accessibility at any time.
The sky is the limit! Build any length you want, for any purpose you can imagine.
All accessories as can be seen in the photos (including drainage/plants/furnature) are not included in the kit. The kit is supplied unassembled and not painted
You can find more information in the product description.
Windows
As standard all of the windows are fixed and they cannot be opened. There is the option to provide windows with a openable section in the middle.
Main window : 10,8 x 15,6 cm, internal window 3,7 x 3,3 cm
Partition Wall
The partition wall is an internal wall that fits between the pillars of the old mill. This allows the mill to be split into sections. The wall is 23 cm wide by 24cm high and contains an openable double door and Perspex ‘glass’
Lift
The factory lift is a non-operational (the internal lift does not have a motor to move it up and down) that has been designed to be placed within the Old Mill from Mini Vintage. The list has 2 doors (openable) on two levels. The ground floor doors are openable and 15,4 cm tall and together 5,7 cm wide. The first floor doors are positioned at a height of 24,2 cm (corresponding to the first floor of the Old Mill) and the doors are 9,7cm tall and together 5.7cm wide.
Inside the lift there is a lift cabin that can be connected by a cord and attached to a cog wheel (non-operational) at the top of the lift

The tureens are amongst some of my more quirky and pretty items. The ideas for the Tureen can be simple to the most exciting....simply painting the Tureen and displaying it on the shelf or filling it with a wonderful rich gravy and meat with some of the juices burnt and cascading over the side of it.
The item is supplied unpainted and in an off white almost alabaster type resin finish. It will be supplied ready for tidying which will mean small nodules will need to be sanded or snapped off - this is super easy to do and takes just a minute or two.

Supplied unpainted and in their raw state (pewter metal alloy), the plates can either be polished or primed and then painted (using a spray paint will avoid any issues with "clumping" and "brush marks").
I have photographed them for you in both the unpainted state, a painted finish with a brown wash to age them and also a polished pewter finish. If you choose to paint then age them then try a pale cream, off white colour and then using raw or burnt umber (watered down) wipe them over to create a warm aged appearance.

12th scale French Canopy Bed Kit
The real lifesize 18th century French Canopy bed or "lit à baldaquin" can be found
in the "Musee-cognacq-jay". https://www.parismuseescollections.paris.fr/fr/musee-cognacq-jay/oeuvres/lit-a-la-polonaise#infos-principales.
The bed is an almost exact copy of the Museum piece. The instructions for my 12th scale version can be found in this listing. It is truly something that you can bring to life and certainly a statement item of furniture in any dollshouse but equally would look fabulous under a glass dome!
Size:
Height 20cm
External width 11.5cm
External length 16cm
Height to top of finials 13cm
As a contrast to my normal work I have created my sample in need of a make over...maybe the addition of some gold leaf and reupholstery is required? The bed would look fabulous guilded and draped in silk damask or maybe a pretty floral 18th century silk. The design lends itself to both opulent and Swedish Gustavian.
The bed is supplied as a kit and is relatively easy to construct but the upholstery has to be part of the process. The bed ends and the bottom of the bed all require covering in Fabric and will need to be done after it has been painted and before fully constructed.

12th scale Spiral staircase kit.
This simply beautiful spiral staircase is copied from a Polish original found in an abandoned house. This is the same staircase that we (Mini Vintage) have used in our Old Mill prototype. In the old Mill we use a 'Bottom Step' + 14 'Step Kits' as described below. This product as available on the Mini Vintage site is sold as 'one kit' suitable for use in the 'the Old Mill'. If you would like any different configuration then please order via www.alisondaviesminiatures.co.uk
Each step has stunning filligree and comes with a beautiful bannister post and rail.
The bottom step is slightly different to the other steps as it has a little base finial to finish it off.
The staircase is sold in "steps" with a bottom step option.
Each step measures approx. 15.25mm high x 37mm deep x 68mm wide
The Upright posts are approx. 81mm high with the handrail adding another 2mm to the height.
Bottom Step Kit contents:
1 x step
1 x Bottom hand rail (this is the longer handrail)
1 x Short top handrail
2 x Bannister posts
1 x Little floor flange
1 x Length 12" steel rod (for you to cut to size) (not shown)
Step kit contents:
1 x step
1 x Bannister post
1 x handrail section
Construction
This is a slightly harder kit to construct as it has to be supported during the build.
You will need superglue and a superglue activator (this simply sets the glue instantly and makes the whole job easier).
Always start with the bottom step but it can be constructed outside of the dolls house and then inserted when finished. Your only issue might be that you wont be able to secure the central rod into the floor and the ceiling. Ideally the floor would be added after the stairs are in position.
This Wonderful antique style Tea Cabinet was designed and created by Mini Vintage. The cabinet can be used for all sorts of things for example cups and saucers, plates and Tea Pots or just to be used as a clothing cupboard next to a bed. The cabinet is made of MDF, is not painted and sold as a kit. The cabinet door and 2 drawers can be opened.
The size of the cabinet is 10cm (high), 7,5 cm (wide) and 3,5cm deep.
Sold in kit form these wonderful ceiling candelabras are stunning and would certainly make a statement in any 18th century or later room. In particular if you have a long thin room with a statementdining table then two at either end would be superb.
These are not electrified but the candle holders have been designed to accept a small candle bulb and therefore with a little bit of effort and time these could be electified.

12th scale weight scales
Length 20mm (including dish) x 17mm diam of dish.
The little kitchen scale would be ideal in a messy kitchen table scheme. It comes in 4 sections, the large base, the star shaped dish supports, the dial face (not the dial) and the dish. To create a glass face try using doming resin. It's incredible stuff. Simply mix the two parts together 1:2 and then using a cocktail stick drip it onto the dial face...the beauty is that it remains raised like a dome...it's very realistic. You can buy button/dome resin online
