The Tuscan Sun Hotel

The Tuscan Sun Hotel

This is my Spring Fling entry for 2009.

It did not start out as a small hotel. Originally I wanted to make it the office bldg. for an 1940-ish cropdusting service with a scale-sized bi-plane I found parked in front, and then I thought maybe a rural kite shop <hence the boxy window frame for displays - not very Tuscan-ish, it stayed for lack of wanting to start all over> but it changed it's mind pretty early on and decided to take me to Tuscany - somewhere I have long dreamed of going, so I was more than willing to go along. This whole project nearly built itself - I was only along for the ride, so I know it was the right decision. The only real struggle I had was figuring out how to do the red clay tile roof - that nearly made me throw in the towel, but it came out pretty much the way I envisioned. I don't know that I will be eager to work in that kind of clay again anytime soon.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with it and had a wonderful time making it!

sry for some of the blurry pics, out of sequence, and duplicate photos here and there. After so may pics taken, it gets confusing <whew..>
