To Mini or not too Mini the tale of two Mini's...>>>

-
Are cars Diorama items? Well in my book they are! Last week I received my new KEN Mini by Mattel and thought I would compare it to the Sindy (Hasbro) Mini
 Not sure what the fit would be like for the older Ken's but it's a little 'comfy' for two!
 The Ken car is smaller than Sindy's... no surprise there!


 Ken Car



 Sindy Car








As you can see Sindy's car has a lot more detail and is MUCH heavier. It has a roof and the boot (trunk) opens BUT I still like the Ken car too!

    Thanks for the comparison photos!
    What is the price range for both cars?

      Ken's car is about $30 (£20) and the Mini when it came out a couple of years ago was £30($45) so the Hasbro Mini was more money but better quality! I guess as the saying goes... you get what you pay for! LOL Mind you saying that Ken's car is good value I think!

    Love these comparison photos. Ken's Mini is a tight fit, but I do like that it's on the smaller side.

    I think it should be small, but this is just a tiny bit smaller than it should be?

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
