Love this style. Twinkle did a cheating way to side her Spring Fling Barn. She used old Greenleaf siding strips and a BBQ skewer as a spacer and did the reverse direction of the board and batten. Gave the same effect on the cheap.

That's a great idea.....I'm gonna cheat a bit too. I'm just gonna add the "batten" to the shell. I figure some 1/4" strip wood every inch or what ever calculates to 1/12 should look pretty good?? What do you think?

Sounds great. One important thing to remember in the miniature world, is that a great amount of what we do is smoke and mirrors - the illusion of what we are imagining. Working this small often doesn't allow for a completely 100% realistic method of doing something. Thus think of ways to create the illusion of it - like in animation and movie sets - not real rock but foam ones, etc.

I like this look and am planning to do it on my Buttercup to Orchid Maus Haus. But I'm just going to add the surface battens and rely on illusion :)
