whippet-gal Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 It's really lovely. I love the archetectural details of this house & the colours you've chosen accentuate them. It's looking good! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minilinda2001 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 A wonderful project, and you should be very proud! I am anxiously waiting for your progress on the inside. :music_band: Re: the brickwork- it looks very attractive, but are the corners as crisp as you would like? This house is just so doggone pretty!

Kalygirl Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Jenny, she's so beautiful!!!!! I love how the shingles turned out, especially against that blue. I personally like the brickwork and think it looks really nice, but what other ideas would you have instead of the bricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninky Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Jenny I love it and the brick work looks good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Mini Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 well here is the problem... i bought them at two different stores. the brick work sheets that are in the front have kind of a velt backing.. but the ones that are on the sides and wrap the edges have a rubbery backing.. the velt glued like a dream.. the rubber... well i looked at it this morning and it came unglued!! I used this steel grip glue i usally use on everything and its just not holding.. any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Is Thelma going to live in the Willowcrest? She looks like a real sweetie! any ideas anyone? Why not use super glue to glue felt to the rubbery backed brick strips (try saying THAT one three times fast!) and then glue them back on? I think the brickwork ROCKS (if that's not contradictory...)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The house looks very happy with both with that shade of blue and the shingles are just well worth the work, right?!? I hope you will find a solution to the bricking trouble! Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
