Anyone know where I can get a 1/24th scale Arm Chair?

Check www.Scale Equipment LTD.com

They have a huge line of model car accessories, and a whole line of garage stuff, furniture, etc, in 1/24 and 1/25 scale. You should be able to find something applicable there.

Thanks for the link doog, but they didnt have what I needed.

I dont know where to get doll house furnature, and I dont have the skills or materials to scratch build it.

I think dollhouse furniture is uniformly 1/12th scale, isn't it? 

Smeagol, you should be able to find dollhouse stuff at your local crafts shop, like Michael's.  Or use your Yellow Pages (or internet search engines, like the yellow pages available at http://www.theultimates.com/), look for craft or hobby supplies.

Here's a link for "crafts" in Philadelphia from TheUltimates, hope it works: http://yellowpages.superpages.com/listings.jsp?C=crafts&N=&L=phildelphia%2C+PA&STYPE=S&search=Find+It&SRC=ultimates&channelId=&sessionId=&MCBP=true&CS=L

Hobby Lobby carries it. It's 1/12 scale, but you might be able to modify something else.  If you want, I can whip one up out of a 1/24 scale bucket seat in a couple hours...

I'll make you one - but it ain't gonna be cheap!

If you cant find a toy source, you can use the green foam used to hold dry flowers found at a Michaels or Ben Franklins. You can shape it easily to make the chair and cushions.

No disrespect Smeagol, but you're always posting about something you can't do.  Make yourself a chair.  If it doesn't look like what you want, do another. 

Easy Mike is right.  But on the other hand, I remember how the whole notion of "scratchbuilding" intimidated me, before I actually tried it.  My first efforts were not good -- no, truthfully, they were terrible ... but you learn best from experience and making mistakes, so don't be discouraged by what you think you can't do.  Try, and keep trying!

Cliched, sure, but still true.  Keep at it.

I think this would be really easy to build. You wouldn't really need much of a skillset. As for materials, well, I'm CERTAIN you could get a hold of some styrofoam, green flower foam (as mentioned above in Michaels), popsicle sticks, and some tissue paper and white glue.

You could use styrofoam, foam insulation, or green flower foam (don't know what its really called), and just a basic hobby knife to carve out the general shape. Alternatively, you could use popsicle sticks to build a frame.

Now, for the padding, you could use clay. Also can be had at craft stores. Heck, even use plastecine if you really can't get anything else. Then, papie mache in the form of tissue paper soaked in a half/half mixture of water and white glue, and just coat it all. Form creases after it dries off a bit, and you're good to go. It really is not as difficult as it may seem.

Ditto to EasyMike and Brumbles...

There's no crying or whining allowed in modeling...

I never said I cant do it, I said I dont have the skill set right now to scratch build it.  I am going to work on scratch building, but right now, I have about 2$ to my name, if that, im probably in the negatives at this point, so what I have is what I have.  Also, this is for a gift, I dont want a shoody scratch build attempt making it look bad.  Im sure you can all understand that.  If it was for myself then Id try scratching it, I have alot of styrene but no putty of any sort, except for squadron green, which isnt good for bulking up at all.  And I never say I cant do something, I just want help doing it my first time so I can get the hand of it, like that dio I build that Doog and hans helped with, now I know how to do it, I know what I did wrong and I can tell you the next one will look alot better.

The reason I ask questions like this is because you guys have been doing this alot longer then me, I started modeling building gunpla, only been doing tanks for a year, if that, so Im still new to the sites and stores and stuff.  If you want gunpla materials, just ask me, I know a ton of places.  Im looking for links and such with questions like this, I gota build up a list so I can get what I need to do my thing, ya know?

First of all, the maximum range of an excuse is 0.0...That said...

 Got any styrofoam layin' around? Like the shipping pads that your computer was packed in?  If so, I'll talk you through a scratch-bild with the foam, white glue, and a hobby knife.  Get that far, and I'll show you what to use for way under two bucks to upholster...
