Starting with the Steps
Started the actual construction, finally. This was a very peaceful mini-day. Got the base painted, top and bottom, just to keep it from warping. Put together the front and back steps and the walls that they connect to. After the paint is completely dry I will put them together. I am very impressed with the precision of this kit - everything is lined up perfectly! As long as I don't mess it up by letting it slip while gluing it should be great!
I used "Krylon - Make It Stone! Textured spray paint." Hope I don't regret it - I like the look of a cement or stone foundation and steps to the house. I just hope it isn't too coarse for this scale.
I don't know why the steps are different - the squared ones go in the front of the house; the rounded, fuller steps go in the back. I would have thought it was the other way around, but I Googled images of the Georgian Townhouses and they all seem to have the simpler steps in the front.
I tackled the stairways next -
I started working on the back wall, but I was starting to get tired - don't want to make a mistake. So I put it away. I have decided I want to add lights to this - so must get online and order 9 teeny lights for
it. Which means I have to put in wallpaper, to hide the wires. The kit suggests just painting the interior walls, but I want lights, so that won't work.
