Cusom playsets? Tips, ideas and pictures please!

[Nightbow]

I have these mangy G2 playsets that used to be mine before I gave them to my siblings who are now teenagers. Let me tell you, the two darlings did not play as nice with it as I did!

I'm contemplating on customizing them (the rainbow forest and royal ballroom) so that my G2 may have somewhere to live. I can't bring myself to throw them away, but I know I'll never find replacements for all the plastic accessories like the forest's tree-house railing and the castle's gate. Do you have any experience with broken playsets? How would you deal with such a restoration project?

I'd love to make things out of Sculpey but that would need to bake. It would also be nice if I could find things made out of plastic that actually fits in the scenery, like the Sylvannian family fountain (except it is too small). Any ideas?

You can make things out of Apoxie sculpt-  that stuff is a two part compound you can buy online (like on Amazon) or at very few craft stores.  It air dries.

When I have a set that is incomplete, I keep an eye out on ebay for another set that might be incomplete in a different way, then I combine sets.

you could also make pieces out of card stock or recycled parts like plastic jar lids and such there is a few youtube videos that have tutorials on how to make doll furniture out of house hold items.

I made a G4 sized comic book store out of an old g3 building play set and some old doll house funature I found at a thrift store.

I agree with Summer, there are plenty of doll videos on making doll sized things out of recycled materials and most of them can be resized!

MyFroggyStuff does a TON of this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/user/MyFroggyStuff/videos you may have to do some looking through but there is a good bit there to get ideas

@Galactica - Looking for completing sets is an awesome idea. Bummer these particular ones are so hard to come by. I've also found something they call air-drying granite sculpt. Makes me want to make rocks for scenery.

@Summer-blade - Cool! Which G3 building was it? I have a shabby Frilly Frocks Boutique... *sighs* I'd love to see some pictures of that!
Which reminds me that I also bought a Sylvanian Families flower stand and waffle stand at an outlet. Too bad the size only properly fits G4 ponies!

@sd_dreamcrystal - Thanks a bunch for the link! It looks like fun.
...I'd love to make a garden of some sort for either my flutters or G2s.

I'll get some picks and post soon...can't remember what building it was
