Orchid Chappel - the front


hydroped

Here's a photo of the thick paint job that I really didn't like. I almost forgot to take a photo before sanded it all off. All that was left was this one little wall but you can still see the very flat grey color I had painted it.

and here at long last is the front of the building - not finished but I'm much happier with the way it looks. I've added yet more to it but am not so worried about how the paint will go on. The roof may be a bit tricky but it can be a little uneven I think and still be ok. The parts I'm adding to the front will be fine just as long as I paint them all at the same time - the boarder blocks can be a bit lighter in shade than the rest :angry: Once a put new boarders blocks around the side windows I'll be ready for what I hope will be the last of the painting to be done on this :huh:

As you can see the sanding left some of the dark places and lightened others I'm hoping that this will give a deeper look to the stones.. and if nothing else I hope it will look better than the flat grey it was before.

Thanks everybody :D

I haven't thought of a name for it - I'm not good at naming things - I'm so bad that I once had a cat named "Kitty-Kitty".. no kidding. Actually I named her that because she wouldn't answer to just "Kitty" :D I think this house will really fit the theme of our mini show this year which is "Other Times, Other Places" :D Still trying to find where I Put my landscaping stuff. I swear I just saw it the other day.. <sigh> hmm didn't Deb say she enjoys organizing things? Oh Deb.. when are you coming to Calif? :D
