Bit of Everything ...

I added the tiles to the dormer windows, painted and distressed them. I'm now stuck because I'm waiting for the oasis I bought on AliExpress. 



Because I cut the opening in the Pringles tube a little too big I was left with gaps at the sides and around the top of the basement ceiling.






So I cut out two pieces of card, stuck crumpled up tissue paper on, and painted and distressed - as for the room wall treatment - and I think it's turned out OK. If you look closely at the wall on the right you can see the join though, but I'll have to ignore it!

This (below) is my second attempt at the fill-in walls. I'd painted two pieces, went to dry the paint with the hairdryer, and one bit flew onto the floor and I didn't find it again! So I just got two (larger) pieces of card ...


And here are the results -




There is still a little gap in the ceiling, but hopefully when I add the foil and tissue paper layers to the outside of the "tree" it will fill up that.

I also stuck the interior door to the wall of the ground floor -


Then I used my cool melt glue gun for the first time to fill in the spaces in between the support base -

I've brought out all my other kits again, and hope to work on them over the cooler months.

Petite Properties Orders

My order from Petite Properties. I have the roof tiles for the dormer windows of the Little Stump House, the correct size display plinth (1:144 NOT 1:48!) for La Belle Boutique, a couple of pots of paint and LOTS of landscaping packs!

UPDATE - The plinth is not for La Belle Boutique, it's for another 1:144 scale kit ... but I can't remember which one at the moment!



I've now ordered 1:48 scale The Little Duck House, the display base and a Floating Duck House!

These are (of course) pics of Bea's completed project - so this is what I'm aiming to achieve! I need to find a few ducks now ...
