4. How did you make the furniture in the dio?
5. What is a good height for cielings?

Here are a couple answers for ya!
1. I use a medium duty Exacto blade with a thick aluminum measuring stick as a straight edge.
2. Scrapbook paper at most craft stores will run between 10 cents each to 60 cents each for basic 12"x12" and the fancy textured paper is generally around a dollar per sheet. Mat board is usually between 3-10 bucks per sheet for a 32"x40" piece and they come in every color imaginable.
3. I use regular Elmers glue. Its cheap and it works.
4. So far its all made from mat board precut to the sizes I need, then I just glue the pieces together... using a 45 degree mat cutter gives me mitred-like corners to join the corners evenly. I also found some Joe scale dollhouse furniture on sale at Hobby Lobby.
5. Well, for residential scenes I've been making ceilings 6" tall... I figure thats enough head room and that also lets me cut a 12"x12" sheet of scrapbook paper in half for twice the use. Industrial scenes usually call for 8 to 10 to 12" ceilings depending on the building.
6. Your welcome.
