I've corrected several
broken links - they should all work now, if not please let me know!
Zooplies.com
is now my personal site. I've made some changes here by
redirecting links to the New Zooplies Miniature Community
site at
Zooplies.org, and removing others as they are no
longer needed here.
Zooplies Miniature Community has many tools designed
for miniaturists with more coming all the time. Currently
Zooplies Miniature Community has Wiki software providing a
place for any miniaturists to share information, tutorials, links,
personal profiles, and more for others to share. I've opened a
school where step by step tutorials can be shared, as well as any
courses that are only limited by your imagination.
We're also providing a
Photo Gallery
for everyone's enjoyment, open to all who want to share their photos and
videos with others. Maybe it's not as fancy as some of the other
free photo galleries, but it is restricted to only items related to
miniatures - and as time goes on, more features will be added.
As I collect tools I will describe them here,
and offer advice on which ones I feel do the job the best. I
will also offer some complete reviews of these products in the
Product Reviews
section of ZMH.
If you have a tool that you would like to comment on, Review or
offer ZMH's
audience then justme and I'll include it in the appropriate section of the
Tool Box.
This 1/12th
Scale miniature chair may be used for many applications,
including beach scenes, garden scenes, porch scenes, picnics
scenes and many others. It was a very popular style chair from
the 1900’s through the 1950’s. If you need another scale --

Here's a new pizza box complete with a corner holder for
sauces. I've adding a tutorial as the box might needs some
adjustments depending on the weight paper you use.
Now I just need someone to come up with a tutorial on how to
make the pizza to go into the box.me if you have one or are willing to make one for us.
I have added several Printables and tutorials by
Laura Miller to the
Printables links and
DIY tutorials above.
Check them out -- they are great fun. Laura has some great
printable and is sharing them here so all the
ZMH's
visitors can share them as well.
Laura Miller is the host of Yahoo's Mini Patterns Group

and all around miniature talk, stop by and take a look.
When you get the chance take a look at some of Laura's other
work on her Webshots.
Is putting together loads of
information about different scale model builders, and building
techniques. He is providing a place to find information,
invaluable to every miniaturist, which can give you insight, and
ideas on how to do thing in any scale. It also provides
great resources for any miniaturists.
No matter which modeling environments you personally subscribe
to: dolls houses , model railway layouts, military modeling,
model villages, professional architectural modeling, scenic
museum models, film sets, collectables and giftware, or
dioramas, this is an Ezine everyone should check out and
support.
Are by far the
best equipment you can buy, if precision and durability are
important when building your miniatures. I've owned a lot
of equipment over the 30+ years I've played with miniatures and
nothing I've found, compares to the equipment Jim makes.
Save Money on Local Attractions
When I travel - which isn't as often as I would like - I find visiting
museums, and the local sites to be my main interests.
Unfortunately the prices of the top attractions have sky-rocketed over
the last few year. Last time I was in Chicago with my son, we
spent a lot more money than expected and because of the costs, saw a lot
less than we wanted.
