1:6 scale miniatures in Australia? A question from a reader

1/6 scale mid-century-modern plastic chairs on display in a shop
Karen emailed me recently asking if I 'knew of any Australian shops or suppliers that are doing 1:6 scale as a miniature craft for older children and adults: not just the kiddie pink plastic variety?'

And I had to admit I had no idea. Is anyone able to help Karen?

    They have a "other recommended sites" link or they might also have additional suggestions for accessories in 1/6. Looking at Blythe or Momoko instead might yield results on Google.

  6. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    Pamela, the IKEA Huset pieces are 1:7.76 scale, so a little small for Barbie (I did notice, though, on my pre-opening tour of the new Canberra store, that they have a second range of Huset furniture available: http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/70292260/ )

    And the chairs in the picture were at Daiso, a Japanese discount store.
