I am finished with the basic construction of the house. I have finished my paperclay shingles and stained and assembled the front door and windows. I will not use the fence pieces that came with the house because the paper clay threw off the dimensions of it and I may use iron fences instead.

I also LOVED the design of the plastic windows that came with this house, but I wanted a lead look so I scanned them into my computer and changed the color of the lines to black. I then printed them off on transparency film and cut them to size. They turned out wonderful.

I hope to paint the stone & brick tomorrow and shingles and start on the yard. This house is VERY impressive. I had a hard time on some of the steps but after I got past the Beams, everything else was fine. I did not add the tudor trim so I can not say how simple that part was but everything else was a breeze. I made it harder by adding all of this paper clay. B)

More to come soon!!
