I’m actually planning on making a 1/12 scale model of Cair Paravel from The Chronicles Of Narnia.

There’s a miniature of the White that’s amazing! I believe it’s about 40 feet long.

My grandma makes miniatures and tiny faberge-style eggs. When I was little she made me a dollhouse and now whenever I am over at her house I end up looking at all the miniatures I have looked at already. I love them. They are so cute! Specifically she made a Little House on the Prairie kitchen (I think the house in that show was just one room so maybe its the whole thing.) She also made a replica of the old antique mall she worked at. It is just so cool.

That dollhouse at the Museum of Science and Industry is super cool too. I live right down the street from it!

This is a fantastically wonderful miniature. So glad to see it in mental floss.

May we have more?

The Queen of England’ dollhouse is on display at Windsor Castle, and it has working fixtures and electric lights. As well as a gasoline powered minature Rolls Royce.

Very cool. I remember my dad making a dollhouse for my sister when I was a kid. He let me help, and it was a very time consuming process… but it didn’t turn out anything like these.

As a side note, if you’re looking for interesting things built out of legos, google Nathan Sawaya’s website.
