Product types and scales

There are many types of mini enthusiasts, which is why the product range offers different types of products. Some like to make and customize furniture to their own look, and making things with their hands is a big part of the hobby. Some want to put their new finds in a bridle and immediately enjoy how the room looks. Or better yet, both!

The product type is always mentioned in the product information.

READY = the product is ready and can be placed in your own mini world
immediately. These include, for example, almost all interior design products.

DIY = the product does not need to be assembled, but you can paint and/or customize it however you like
way. These include, for example, finished wooden furniture.

KIT = kit, assembly product or construction kit. The package comes with everything
The necessary product parts and assembly instructions in Finnish and English. You will also probably need tools that are easily found at home, such as scissors, paper, or paint. Assembly requires dexterity and imagination. The necessary accessories are mentioned in the product information.

Thinking about scale can sometimes be challenging. I found a nice house, how do I know what scale it is? Basically, you can infer something from the room heights, but they can vary, as in 1:1 houses built at different times. One tip is also to measure the height of the door.

*The height of a modern 1:1 door is often 200cm.

*In a 1:6 world, the height of the door is 33.3cm (200:6=33.3). The length of the doll is approx. 29-30cm.

*In the 1:12 world it is 16.6cm (200:12=16.6). Doll lengths vary by maker, but a 170cm person is 14.2cm in the 1:12 world.

*In Lundby houses, the door height is 13cm (although calculated 200:16=12.5cm). The doll is approx. 11cm long.

If decorating seems difficult at first, I recommend starting with larger pieces of furniture; a bed, a cupboard, a chair, etc. They make it easy to see how the furniture fits into the proportions of the room. Gradually, your eye will tell you what looks good and appropriate, and you can throw away the strict measurement. Some people even do it so casually that they don't think about proportions at all. You can do it in the way that feels right to you. There are many different kinds of us, and that's wonderful!
