OK about my laste Forum about Album: Orders Diorama by: Keith Magee.
Lot of furniture went to a couple of Modelers shops and could not find any kind of furniture.
Tryed the popen huis ( kind of barbie furniture but make in wood ) some could be used as but the prices were a little bit creasy.
Any ideas? Any tool time tips ?

i build a lot of the furniture you see in that diorama... but admittedly, some is also from hobby stores. another GREAT source for furniture is to visit local "doll house" shops... look for items in 1:48 or 1:32 scale that you can easily adapt... if you din't find something, try building with plastic card sheets and modeling clay!
