more trimwork obviously

I had the hardest time with this house's roof, that is why I went with stucco... and I am just going to shingle the outside to cover the numerous "icks" on the outside. I am still pretty new to this dollhouse biz... but this was the hardest I had with any house roof.....

Your doing a lovely job by the way.... I am looking forward to getting back to mine as soon as I am finished with my Bodie cabin

This roof is ridiculous, I thought the Chantilly was bad but I'd do that one again in a heartbeat now! between bending the wood for over the door and lining up all the pieces I've got a mitt full of splinters and numerous new curse words lol. It's not often a project has two "to hell with it" phases - why was this the house I fell in love with I ask - why?

The joins are always a PROBLEM...I am for trim Aaron :yes: Keep going this is the key to these "to hell with it" phases...Doesnt matter if it is not perfect(the whole thing is about illusions...).You will fine a solution to cover imperfections. Mine was the first and has many imperfections(I see them now and I am on the plhase "If I was at the beginning of the project I would do that and this"...)but the total effect is good. The entire point is to make it look realistic and have fun with the project Aaron :thumb:

I love the look of a lot of trim!!! You're doing a fantastic job but I know what you mean when the frustration kicks in!!!! I have my own new curse words for my Garfield!!!

It's funny I was looking at the garfiled today and said to myself "well you could be building that". I guess the grass is always greener hey

I used a ton of DAP on the joints and seams in my glencroft. It was one of the most time consuming parts, I think, other than getting that crazy roof over the front door clamped. My next Glencroft is going to have a replacement for that roof piece, I promise. One that actually is thin and flexible enough to hold the shape.

I think the problem is "thin and flexible" I am finishing up a Dura-Craft. The company went out of business, and I think I know why...they used cheap wood. It splinters all over the place (not to make a nice surface for painting), and the seams are like you had here. I hate to say it, but the "Real Good Toy" dollhouse is made with either MDF (no splinters) or the roofs come pre-assembled so there are NO weird seams. But, they are much more expensive, and probably not as fun to bash.
