THE CAMP

(Formerly SSRC) The CAMP started as an temporary place to hang out while another group was on hiatus in 2003. Then campers wouldn't let Den Mother shut down the group so we have evolved into a year 'round "camp" for miniaturists worldwide. This community is serious about miniatures and caring about each other. A sense of humor is highly recommended. Welcome!
   
Whether you are new to the miniature scene or an old hand at this fascinating hobby you are most welcome to join us, share ideas for making miniature furniture, food, clothes and other items while educating.  Through knowledge we can rid fear, so teach what you know so Amateurs/New Miniaturists can learn to LOVE the hobby, you may even surprise someone that is an Old Hand at the hobby.
   
Mini Furniture Houses Boxes Accessories Our group is dedicated to the sharing of knowledge, skill, techniques, great finds, plans, and all things Miniature. As a wise person once said we can't live long enough to know it all, so, why not learn from someone else who knows what we don't? If you have a question about how to do, or make something in the miniature hobby, than you are welcome. Got a new mini technique, lets share. Like to make furniture or kit bash, let’s share. Like to create things from everyday items, let’s share. Vignettes, roomboxes, dollhouses, or just one piece always has a place here. Miniatures in all scales are also welcome.

We are here to learn!  Come and join us, teach a workshop, share ideas, but most of all have fun!!
   
Tree Making I have had a lot of people ask me how to make trees for railroading, dioramas and even architectural modeling. And I have tried to suggest some things. And while I am a supplier of real wood armatures, I am a botanist and know my limitations when it comes to being creative. Besides, I can't fool, or better what mother nature has done. But others can. Some have used dremel tools and wire brushes to roughen up the surface of the armatures. Others use wood stain to color the trees one shade or another. And so that is why I started this forum. A place where people can get together and talk about the different ways of making realistic trees from my Knarly Miniature Tree Armatures. Or any trees for that matter.
   
"Models & Miniatures in Paper" is a group devoted to monthly showcases where members submit original paper miniature and model creations centered around an agreed upon theme. At the end of the month the membership reviews the showcase entries and a prize is awarded to the owner of the winning entry.
   
Creations in Miniature A place for you to meet other like-minded miniaturists who enjoy the shared experience of creating miniature rooms and scenes in a group setting.  In many respects we are a miniature club with just a couple of differences from a physical club: we meet online ... and we meet daily. This is actually an advantage because it means that we have many more opportunities to share our knowledge and creativity, as well as encourage one another to continually grow as artisans in a nurturing and respectful environment.
   
Room Boxes This group is for learning about and sharing roombox projects but all miniature related topics are welcome. This group is friendly and informative.
   
Dollhouse Guild The Dollhouse Guild is composed of amateur and professional miniature crafters and hobbyists. We share our ideas and help each other find elusive miniatures. Once dollhouses and miniatures get in your blood, there's no cure for the thoroughly enjoyable addiction! Through The Dollhouse Guild we are able to bring new activities such as the "Mini Xchange", "Auction Updates", and "Classifieds". A Total of 2 For Sale/For Trade items may be posted every week.
   
Dollhouse Building In this club I would like to have discussions on creating/building/decorating miniature dollhouses with a scale of 1" = 1'. Send tips, suggestions, ideas on building and decorating miniature dollhouses. Also on good places around the US to buy dollhouse kits and decorations.
