It has been suggested that I blog the building of my micro Beacon Hill.

I will add all comments and photos to this one entry even though I will not be doing it all at one time.

I got this kit to do while I was recovering from surgery....

I decided to do all of the prep work before surgery so I could take this to the hospital and put it together.

so tonight I have had a dry fit

in this scale the dry fit is more to get the feel of the rooms for decorating as it all has to be done before the actual building begins.

here are my floors. I like to use a stain pen....just seems like the same look with alot less wetness. which is good as the wood will draw up and warp badly if not careful.

I used real yellow for the outside...not sure what I will trim it with...navy blue and white or dark purple and white.

all the wallpapering that Im going to do is now done. I may do the bays with the paper but I find it easier to paint.

just like in full scale dollhouses it is a good idea to wait for the glue to completly dry before cutting doors and windows out.

I really like the kits from NorthEastern scale models....their instructions are idiot proof....ok maybe I shouldnt say that as I am the one who put the Garfield together upside down.....yes it was me who did that.

I had to rip it apart and star all over. also note that this wood is extremly fragile and it is a good idea to paint while the parts are still in the sheets. even the windows and things.

I will add more when I have more!

nutti ;)

ohhh I have to report another one of my nutti accidents....I was getting ready to assemble the BH when I saw that once again I made a big mess...I had papered the walls wrong. so one wall had to be completely redone...of course there is no way to safely remove wallpaper from these little walls so I had to wall paper over them.

I think I got it fixed and now I am ready to proceed with the construction....yes I know Im a little ahead of myself. but I thought this was one project I could do with miniamal brain work.....hahahahahahaha

uggggggg so today I go to put the house together...and I put the attic floor where the 2nd floor is suppose to be...of course I dont realise that till I have broken 2 peices of the front while trying to get them where they belong!

I am not loving this house. it does not fit together as well as the other houses or could be me...most likely it is me. I shouldnt be allowed around minis in my current mind set. as I am aniticpating my first Miniature show and meeting some mini friends! I see lots of vines on this house when finished! ;)

I wish I could say this makes me not want any other little houses...but it doesnt! ;)
