Hi Lavonne.......How about a little more info about how you applied the paste and the process. Most things do disappear except for the occasional wrinkle. Also have you wallpapered any full sized walls.

Hi Janet...........I have one rule when it comes to trim. I think in one inch scale and i also look at real house trim to convert to 1:12 sizes. I use this approach for all my interior construction. Think in scale Don't know if this is much help but it works for me.

Hi Janet.............I do..........Just a trusty old fashioned glass cutter. Have to use some WD40 on it and a nice Rod to lay the glass over for the snap. Yes there is some waste.

Hi Janet............If you look at my album I have used almost found material. Old Paneling fit and lined for flooring. Pine from yard sale shelves. Construction site plywood and T1-11 for mane construction. Actual reclaimed window glass for window panes in library and dinning room. Stones picked up from gravel pit near my home. Yard sale cedar and redwood material run through on my mini saw mill.

I use a variety of wood on my projects. I keep mini lumber rack of material. One thing that i do is a little unusual. I set up a jig on my band saw and create my own mini saw mill. When i find something i may want to use i can create boards and dimensional limber. I always keep my eye open for material

As a matter of fact after hours of nipping the tips off those sticks, the dollhouse roof WAS piece of cake. After i found out the secret of laying out the roof shingle lines I enjoyed the process. I would watch TV and nip. The whole thing started as a lark one day while entertaining my granddaughter, before i knew it I was hooked. After completing each piece i wrote short stories about the animals. The stories are part of a larger writing hobby. If you haven't noticed already I never let a misspelled word get in the way of a good story. Thanks Yall

Hi Bill.........This is a great site. I have only been a member since Friday. Lots of good advise and good cheer. I started my house in 1972 and finished it about three years ago. I am working on my lights now. The only advise i can give at this time is not to get too tired when you are working on your house. Good luck

A few years ago I started working with this and they turned out like this

Holly......... You almost got me. I looked up that brayer tool and that's a great idea. I never heard of that tool. You Go Thanks for your help

The best advise I can give is to be vary sparing in the use of your glue to add the clear plastic. I sometimes use a toothpick. After all the windows are dry than I set about inserting the window frames, again use small amount of glue. Good Luck

Sorry for the joke some times I go off the rails.
