From the album: ~ Fairfield ~
The bay windows look so cute with curtains ^^ I'm just not a big fan on seeing them from the outside, looks realistic as you normally can't look inside a house but also hides the beauty of the glass details a bit. -

I was lucky enough to get a couple of artisan pieces in half scale recently on eBay. The music stand isn't marked, so if anyone recognizes the work please let me know the artist. The piano and bench are both by S. Hoeltge (1985).© DAL Minis

From the album: Chanticleer
In this first dry fit, I've built the structure in reverse (sometimes called "inside out") and will be closing up the wall on the right for a chimney. I plan to change the main front eave from a hip roof to a regular peak roof, and will extend the right hand side down to give the front an appearance more like the Glencroft. I'm planning a small balcony area above the bay window.© DAL Minis

I made this half scale dresser from a Cassidy Creations kit some 20 years ago. It was one of my first attempts at making furniture from kits. At the time, I didn't know glue wouldn't take stains. You can see the areas around the joins where I got glue onto the surface of the wood. I also didn't know about sanding and polishing the pieces as part of finishing. So this piece had a rough surface texture, and I was not happy with the color I'd picked at the time or the finishing job. I decided to try refinishing and distressing it before selling or chucking it© DAL Minis

I've gotten back to work on the Tennyson bashes. This weekend I painted most of the white trim (isn't there always something you forget?) and started attaching the exterior trims. I also worked on the foundation. It still needs to be grouted.© DAL Minis

I decided I wanted Morning Glories on a trellis, so this is the result. This is my own design. It took several tries to figure out how to make the flowers work, but I'm pretty satisfied now© DAL Minis

I cut out "flagstone" shapes from heavy packing material I've been saving. This stuff is like super egg carton material and is usually formed into supports to protect an item during shipping. It's about 1/16 inch thick. I laid them out on the base I cut for the cottage to create a meandering walkway heading around the side of the house.© DAL Minis

More flowers! I've been sort of collecting flower kits for some time. These are from SDK Miniatures http://sdk.miniature.net I ordered this kit to try out three different types of flowers. It's called a bulb garden and has daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths. For this SDK kit you paint the flower parts and leaves. There are always some extra pieces in the kits (which is good because I tore one of the leaves.) And for this part of the kit there was enough to make ten daffodils. So I made five yellow and five pink and white hybrids. I've actually grown some that looked like these pink ones. I used paint pens to paint the various parts. The trumpet is less than 1/8 inch across and the whole flower head is less than 3/16 inches across.© DAL Minis

Flowers! I'm planning a small abundant cottage garden in front of Tudor Cottage. These 1:24 scale lilies are from a kit Brae gave me for my b-day last year and are from The Miniature Garden https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheMiniatureGarden You assemble these plants petal by petal. The two flowers on the right I dry brushed with some chalk pastel to get the soft pink. Georgie at The Miniature Garden recommends sacrificing an old tooth brush to make the stamens. I tried this with one I have that has very fine soft bristles, but I could hardly see them or handle them. My regular toothbrush bristles looked too large for the scale to me, so I used thread that I colored with a Sharpie and then cut tiny lengths. I dipped the end in glue and positioned it in the center of the flower. Then once dry I teased the strands apart. I think it works for the stamens. So, six lilies down, a gazillion flowers and veggies to go, LOL! I've placed an order for more kits so it's time to practice making flowers. I'm happy with this first try. Oh, those are my beading tweezers. They are used for knotting, but worked like a champ for handling the tiny parts.© DAL Minis

When I built the White Rose I had a lot of ideas that were along the lines of steampunk, but I couldn't reconcile the two concepts with the image I had in my mind of the house. So I built the White Rose as more of a traditional build with some bashing to add skylights and open up the third floor. Many of the things I did with that house were "firsts" for me and I've learned a lot since then doing more builds. I'm planning to bash another half scale Rosedale, but this time it will be a steampunk build. I've started the preliminary mock ups and did a dry fit today. I forgot what fun the Rosedale is to build! It's been two years (I think) since I started the White Rose, and I don't think I did a dry fit of that house because I was trying to wrap my head around building the house around the staircase. But what fun! I had a great time putting this one into dry fit today. Of course, as soon as I start doing mock ups more than one idea surfaces, so I know there will be another Rosedale in my future after this one Anyway, here's my working mock up of the Copper Rose (thank you Brae for help naming her)

I've finished the roof for now. I'll be coming back to touch up colors on individual roof "tiles" and eventually will be adding moss to the rock and roof. But for now, the roof is finished!© DAL Minis

Yesterday I painted the roof the background color, Americana Zinc. It's a great neutral for the "slate" like roof I'm planning. I spent a lot of time doing touch ups all over the house.© DAL Minis

The stone work is basically finished. This has two applications of "grout", three different color paint washes, and four different color chalk pastel applications. I will be adding quite a bit of moss later. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It was a learning experience using paper mâché rather than actual paperclay, but it turned out well in the end.© DAL Minis

In the morning light the color in the stones is much more noticeable so I wanted to post a better picture.© DAL Minis

From the album: Tudor Cottage, 1:24 Buttercup Bash
I was having a hard time deciding what to do for the first floor of Tudor Cottage. Kelly (Kellyannmo) encouraged me to do a slate floor which is authentic in Tudors. I want the front door to be a working door, so I can't have anything very thick on the floor surface. Then I got an idea based on a technique Brae (Otterine) used for her Brownstone. After a quick experiment to see if it would work, here's what I did. I gathered a few paint swatches in five different colors that looked like slate to me and were close in color. When I think of slate I think of flat gray tones with swirls and ridges in the surface. I then coated the paint swatches with a thin layer of matte gel medium. I used the brush to do different patterns of swirls and streaks in the medium.© DAL Minis

This little cottage is inspired by an image of a real cottage that I found on the Internet. I'm using a slightly bashed 1:24 Buttercup. It's shown here in dry fit with paper stonework for the mock up. I've removed the front roof overhang and cut off the fish scale scalloped roof edge. The front narrow arch windows will be covered by "stone." I've used pieces from the kit to fill the openings.© DAL Minis

Step one: I'm putting this bash together in the typical configuration, so the foundation goes together just like you would if you were building the kit from start to finish. Of course, you can reverse the layout, building the house "inside out" or you can remove the wrap around porch like I did in the 1:24 Tennyson Bash that looks like a row house. Nice and simple, no?© DAL Minis

Once completed, the house should look like this:

I opt for the feather cardboard as a building material. I appreciate the material for its lightness, strength and ease of cutting. For my project I chose a thickness of 3 mm. -

I carefully guard cutouts of doors and windows by numbering to find their location later. They serve me jigs when I'm at the stage of construction of windows and doors. -

I will definitely change slightly the subdivision because terms there is no slot for the stairs ... and I noticed that the position of the front door was not ideal to make way for a staircase in the entrance. The attic is not provided on the plane but I plan to do my achievement. -
From the album: 1:24 French house
Cutting structural elements: base on which rest home front, sides, roof, interior walls and floors. To gain thickness I double structures of the facade and sides. Once the structural elements cut, I trace all openings: windows and doors. At this point I make a test assembly together to see what happens. -
