I have been trying to be good about staying off my feet and giving my stitches a chance to heal so today I decided to do my Hampton house.

first I check for all the peices.

all here...plzz note it is easier if you leave the parts in the sheets to paint...this house fell out of the sheets when I took it out of its packaging.

so I did the only thing I could after I painted...put another paper plate on top of the one my parts were in and weight them down...fortunatly it doest take long for this scale to dry.

here is the painted parts...most of them the roof and window trims doing the drying thing.

I was so bad...I was going to take photos as I went...but once you start its hard to remember to stop for such things...so here is the almost finished product

I wanted something different for the roof but having nothing in scale to make shingles I fell back to a favorite of mine....Textured Paint! :blink: ;) ;)

you ask where do you find sand in scale to make textured paint? well in the floral dept of Wal-mart!

I used decorative sand and I was very Happy with my results

Here is my Hampton house finished and ready for landscaping. again I will wait and do all the 1/144th scale at the same time.

this house took me about 5 hours from start to finish with a couple of potty breaks while waiting for the glue to dry.

although this is a Laser tech kit and goes together easily, the directions could be better.

yes they are a tad pricey but I use those 50% off coupons or 25%

I wanted to get one with the 35%off coupon on friday but I forgot.

I have gotten a couple off of e-bay. good luck I really love my little houses!

I couldn't agree more about the taking of pictures. Who remembers to stop working to take photos.I was going to take pictures of my first house as I built it, but I have yet to take one picture! You are really ahead of the game in remembering to get the camera out. I love your color choices and the house.
