New house arrived-- a new build for a cousin; I've not built the Newberg before, but it has alot of familiar elements, both the tab-and-slot, and the frames like the San Fran 555 has.
Ed is being vaguely helpful.
The kit has this funny stiff paper cut in scallop shapes which is meant to be applied to the gable fronts. I'm not going to use that; I will side the whole thing and am looking at the Robin Carey "Darling House" for inspiration-- it looks like it used to be a Newberg, doesn't it. I will kick up that porch roof and make it horizontal, and I'm thinking about whether I'll flatten out the front of the house or not. I'll use lavender accents instead of teal, on special request. I have spent a bit of time poring over the Darling House, and have come up with the following pieces to order from Heritage Laserworks that look the same or very near to what Robin Carey used:
Duval (one-pc railing) (fence railing)
Barbados (grill) (half-circle grill on underside of porch roof)
Cumbria (bracket)
CiCi (grill) (grill right above porch steps)
Marissa (gable) (in two sizes)
How much I order of these pieces depends on whether I figure out that I will flatten that house front or not... Will need to do some dry-fitting and ponder on that.
