Where'd you find that maid suit?! Sid didn't get any Valentines, Nancy was peeved on account that he'd stabbed her and all... Anyone know where I can find/make 1/6 bottles of alcohol and syringes?

Johnny, I can help if you want to kitbash. Cans/ Bottles can be had by going to your local craft store. (I;m sure they have them in Canada too). Make your way over to the scrap booking section and tell them you are looking for Miniatures fo make a "Shadow box". Joshua's lifestyle collectibles produces a wide variety, however you have to eyeball it, as the bottles seem to drift in size form 1/6 to 1/12 scale. and at $2.50 - $3.50 a packet it ican lead to a costly mistake.
Cottswold collectibles I believe used to carry some of these parts as well. I believe many of these items are within the public domain. The beer bottles are a tad small. the soda pop bottles would be perfect, however you would need to make tiny labels for them.
As far as a Syringe goes, you have to keep yer eyes peeled as well. Vintage toys often are more realistic. The Father from the LITTLE CHAP family dolls came equipped with a syringe that would work. The Vet doll from the Breyer Horse series also had a syringe that might work. The Barbie Syringe I believe was way too small. - Guy

Thanks guy - not sure what you mean though - "shadow box"? What's scrap booking? By craft store, do you mean an art supply store?
Thanks!

Tee hee I can't believe you chaps are discussing miniature syringes! Tell sid to chase the dragon. You could even paint his teeth brown.

I myself was wondering why no one ever questioned what the father of the Little Chap family dolls was doing with a syringe in the first place...

Craft store. Umm can somebody help me out here. I dunno what people do with their spare time in Canada. This is probably going to sound pretty lame. There are FABRIC stores where you purchase fabric, ART SUPPLY stores where you buy bits for your Airbrush, paints, etc and then there are CRAFT STORES where you buy colored pompoms, yarn, beads and little trinkets you use for Holiday Dioramas and doll supplies. Yeah I could tell that was big on your list to purchase.
It never did anything for me, but sometimes these shops have parts that will work with a kitbash. Shadow boxes are sectioned off boxes filled with little plastic trinkets and photos, based on a THEME. Scrap booking is a recent fad that everybody's girlfriend seems to be into. There are even scrap book shops now. Not too many men that I have noticed found this to be appealing, but if you need little bottles, there ya go.
As far as the 1/6 scale fetish clothing, everything imaginable is available, however they will most likely cost you more than a cyborg.

Hmm - if there's something like that, I don't know about it. But I'll look into "shadow boxes" - which I also never hear. Think I can find a heroin themed shadow box! Ha!

Seriously man, you need to talk to a Canadian DOll maker and tell them you are looking for 1/6 scale Doll Miniatures. I found a few stores in Ontario, but I forget which area you live in. You are looking for "craft stores". Look at this link to familiarize yourself: In the USA, this is the biggest craft store chain. www.michaels.com/art/online/homeThis is the second largest, but is big on Sewing: www.jo-ann.com/index.jhtmlTry submitting those links to one of these doll makers in Canada. Perhaps they will know where to send you. ring.miniature.net/cgi-bin/list.pl?ringid=CanadianCheers, Guy
