  4. I found photos of actual medieval stained glass on line. I put them on a thumb drive, took it to FED-X, and had it copied onto acetate. It was easy to cut and glue into the openings.
  5. The stained glass is blowing my mind. How'd you do it?

    Grout

    Good point. I'm headed to the hardware today and will pick some up.
  7. You might want to throw on a coat of some kind of sealer first, since the grout will be wet.

    Grout

    I did order some printed brick, but was pretty unhappy with it. I'd like to go with the real deal. The foam core is triple layer, and the glue and paper wrap make it pretty darn strong. I've already shoved it off the table a few times just to test it. But, there is still a risk of torque when carrying it, so I'm hoping to find a grout with some super bond. I did find this old Greenleaf post, so I'll experiment with these ideas. I assume these are wood dollhouse structures, though. Pic attached is the stone wall I am referring to. Typical landscaping fill, but scale seems to work. Going for that field stone look just on one corner. Saw something like it many years ago, a 1960s apartment building. All I can do is try. I'll fail, succeed, or probably land somewhere in the middle. Updates to follow. So far, each stone is washed, dried, then attached with No-Nails. Holding fine, takes a little effort to pry them loose. Perhaps I can mix no-nails with sand.

    SIR GODFREY'S CASTLE

    I found this great little prefab castle which folds together; at Michael's, marked down to $6.25- minus its drawbridge! Working it 1:24 2024 update: I have not been diligent working on this. Honestly, hardly thought about it for a few years..... I did finish the stained glass windows and some trim. The kit did not come with the drawbridge, it has a gaping hole on which I have been deliberating. I wanted a stately bed, but the rooms are so small.

    Greenleaf Willowcrest - house 6

    This is one of my dream kits. A friend here helped me take the plunge on a new kit. I have high hopes for this one!
  11. Thanks so much. I’m still working away on it! Moved to the interior for a bit. Debating if it needs a full yard and a big ol tree! We’ll see!

    Random tidbits

    Stuff I make that isn’t for anything in particular other than joy
  18. Last week
  19. Real stone tile in a foam core and paper house? Paint simulated stone or photographic quality printie won't do?
  20. Manuvering 2 upstairs rooms so you can see stair hallway through doors and windows. 1 1/2 sides will be open with protected plexiglass. I have lots of siding on 2 1/2 sides and 1/2 a roof to go.

    Sixth Scale CRAFSMAN 1920s house

    These are 1/6 scale real cement blocks and bricks. Will be doing a diorama with them.

    Grout

    Any helpful hints on what grout to use for tiles and wall stone (real stone, not the printed kind)? My house is triple-layer foam core wrapped in glue and paper, which makes it very light and pretty strong, but there is still a bit of flex in it, and I'd hate to start popping the grout every time I move the house. It will get one final stabalizing base once I'm done, so the flex will be little in the end. But still ... Thoughts?
  23. Thanks for the tips and leads. I'll start getting my feelers out there. I'm in new territory with this dollouse and miniature adventure.
  24. Wow, that's perfect, yes. Clipping the finials should be easy enough (famous last words). I do need to get an account for Etsy. Is it worth it? I've benn an eBay picker for years, never ventured out. I do want to pay a little homage to Vincent via his colors and his adoration for the peasants - humble homes and furnishings. Thanks for this lead.
  25. I have that Gazebo, it IS a beauty! and that S/W craft house is a rare find! opening price is very low and Im sure it'll jump from there!

The finials on the seat back could probably easily be trimmed off and sanded to look more like the original. The crossbars and everything look spot on! And since they're unfinished, you could stain or paint to your liking.
  27. Some gems, I think!
