I am a private individual who just loves 1/12th scale dolls and dolls houses. I love making dolls for other people who do not have the skills themselves and I welcome commissions from anyone.  These are three general lower kitchen maids or servants, which are suitable for the Georgian through to
early Victorian periods. Two of them are rather 'grubby', whilst the third one is quite clean (the maid on the left). However, she too
would soon join the ranks of the 'grubby' maids!

These are two early 19th Century Ladies of the Regency period. They both wear fashionable costumes of the period, one in pale peach

Click on the images to enlarge  This is a Victorian Soldier. He is mid 19th century and wears a uniform similar to the soldiers
seen in the film 'Zulu Dawn'. He wears the foreign service helmet as opposed to the English one, since this does not display the
insignia on the front, which provided a target for the enemy to shoot at. He wears gold piped regulation trousers and the
familiar red coat with navy blue cuffs. Not shown here are the artillery bags, which would normally have been attached to the
white bands and belts.

Click on the image to enlarge My dolls are all One-Of-A-Kind (OOAK) 1/12th scale models, and every one of them is modelled individually. Which means, uniquely, no two dolls will ever be exactly the same. The particular dolls you see here are representations of my work. However, if you require a particular doll, I will always do my best to produce a doll in very similar style to those presented here. None of the costumes, colours schemes or dress patterns are fixed, so you are welcome to 'mix and match' any or all of these to suit your preferences. I will be adding more dolls to my Gallery in the future, so please visit again soon. If you have any comments, questions or requests please contact me with your requirements. |
