Winterberry Hall




This is the Winterberry Hall 1:48 scale house from Petite Properties (http://petitepropertiesltd.com). I received the kit for the house yesterday, and another for the base, plus several pots of paint, the landscaping kit to complete the outside of the building, a couple of paint brushes, a fine tip adhesive applicator (very handy) and the little lamppost which goes outside Winterberry Hall.  I couldn't wait to start!

So far I've assembled the base, and stuck a few bits together for the house. I also made the wooden floor for the first floor. I'm not happy with the colour so I may re-paint it a little darker. 



This is the base and the first floor, with the floorboards before I painted it. The floorboards are made from strips of 1/8th inch strips. I'm waiting for a flagstone stencil I've ordered from Bromley Crafts, to make the ground floor. (https://www.craft-products.com/brick-stencils.php). 




Or maybe I won't re-paint it ... It looks better much than I remember from last night. I want to re-paint the black "lines" in between the planks though. There are mistakes you see much better in a photo!

That think in the pictures is the stairs. I couldn't work out how the pieces went together, but I eventually cracked it - I'd been looking at the steps the wrong way round!

I can't do much more now because I can't find my paint brushes. I saw them recently whilst I was tidying up in the craft room, and I know I put them somewhere out of the way and even thought "I'm not going to find these when I need them", and I was right ...
