Brittainee’s unbelievably talented roombox/booknook of Borgin and Burkes shop from Harry Potter.

Meticulous attention to detail.

The lighting is so spot on.

Incredibly skillful - I’m just blown away.

Ooh I want to make a roombox for some 1/3 scale dolls I plan to get (one is a sculpt still in development, idk sculpts for the others yet so who knows when this will happen lol) and I'm going to model it on the League of Villains bar in BNHA because cringe is dead and I want a hangout for my selfship dolls 😅

I kind of got inspired by some figures I saw on myfigurecollection.net that were basically modular, they could be put together as a set to make a larger room "scene". I really like the idea of having various different areas for my dolls to hang out in, I hope I have enough space lol. Maybe I should stick to nendoroid dolls for now, but hey, I can dream!

Made another update on my diorama! More photos on DoA, as usual: https://denofangels.com/posts/12135094/

I think I’m done with the furniture, but I definitely need to make more shadowboxes/paintings/whatever to hang on the walls.

Everything is handmade and fits my 16cms tinies :D

Anyone got a guide on making roomboxes for your dolls? It's fine if it's for smaller dolls I will just increase the measurements on my own. If you have one for large dolls by default, even better!

Does anyone have any guides/links/tips/etc on building scale room boxes? Especially for big ones. Doubly for idiots that have little to no practical experience. I want to lean a new skill! Thank you!

Hi guys! I am a more private hobbyist, but something nice is happening I want to share with you all. In October I will be turning an old storage room in my house into a doll studio where I can sculpt, build room boxes, paint faceups, and display my girls. I’m very excited! I think it will be a fun, calming, and creatively productive cocoon (it’s quite small, but it will be mine!). Thanks for letting me express my happiness :)

"How do you figure out scale for making furniture or roomboxes?" MY TIME HAS COME!!!!!

I'm the jerk who keeps lecturing you guys on scale because you don't understand it. So scale consists of 2 numbers in a ratio: for instance 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6 are common scales for BJDs. That means that every 1 unit of measurement on the scaled object is equal to x units of measurement on the real object, where x is the second number in the ratio. For instance, for a 1/3 doll, every 1 inch on the doll is 3 inches in real life. So, if you want to make, say, a couch for a 1/3 scale doll, you would measure the dimensions of a real couch and divide each dimension by 3 to get the scale measurement.

Unfortunately, you have to know what scale your doll ACTUALLY is, and not what scale BJD people CLAIM it is, because BJD people absolutely refuse to understand the standard definition of scale. A 70 cm adult doll is 1/3 scale. A 45 cm adult doll is 1/4 scale. A 30 cm adult doll is 1/6 scale. A 30 cm kid doll is NOT 1/6 scale, though, because a kid is not the same height as an adult. If you multiply 30 cms by 3, you get the height of a real kid. If you multiply 30 cms by 6, you get the height of a real adult, or the height of a giant abomination monster baby.

So, how do you find out what scale your BJD actually is? You can do some math, or you can ask someone from the wider doll and miniature community, because we actually have to understand the standard, real, factual definition of scale to do our thing.
