The Taft General Store dollhouse - Day 29

Hi, y'all

I was going to cut some shingles for the roof but I got lazy and made something different.

I got these round BBQ bamboo sticks so I used as covering for the roof:

It looks realy good, so I decide to add some color. A very light grey tempera guache:

I was going to paint the exterior windows trimmings but I'm felling lazy so I'm going to let the 'natural wood' color.
I'm going to paint the exterior staircase, add the railings and do something with the outside floor.
Later on, I'll add the interior staircase (after painting) and doors.

Later, Cheers!

Hello!

OH.MY.LOKI! I forgot to blog... AGAIN!!!! That means picture heavy post again.. Sorry!

I added some windows on the third floor:

And glued the staircase gap trimming: it's just a thin strip of white silky paper:

I did cut some limestone tiles but it was too thick and although it look gorgeous I didn't think it was going to work sooooo, I decide to glue the staircase in place and use bamboo sticks as siding after finishing the exterior trimmings of windows and doors.

There was a vote and I painted the siding red with guache paint. The 'veins' of the bamboo sticks still shows and looks pretty sharp!

Next are the shingles.... ARGH!
'Till next time, cheers!
