Still working on those paperclay shingles,and gotta say,its MUCH harder than it looks. Mine pretty much looks like a kindergarten project. I have new respect for those who have such beautifully tiled roofs. Im painting the tiles now and that has also proven to be a bit of a fiasco. I thought it would look a certain way, I can visualize it,but its not happening.Almost brought me to tears last night,after all that work and it looks like crap,shingles are different sizes and crooked,I dont know why I didnt notice it until I started painting.
On the bright side,yesterday I found a new hobby shop in Modesto, its a bit of a drive, but worth it. They had a Buttercup kit which I snatched up,and I bought train moss.They had a pretty big selection of dollhouse stuff. Then hit Michaels for more DAS clay. Ive talked to two hobby shops that say theyre having a hard time getting in DAS clay,hope thats not going to become an issue,I really like that clay. Michaels had plenty of it. I also scored more barrels for the saloon and an owl,its not scale,but Im going to try some painting techniques to see if I can make it look smaller. Dinner time...
