The Half Scale Chantilly - Day 7

And then there was the roof....

Dude, this attic/roof thingy is a bitch to put in place...
I needed like 7 hands, and I had to re-glue three times.
But it is almost done, and Tracy from Minis on the Edge was definitely right: you DO have to paper the roof's interior first. No space to put your hand in. Maybe in the 1:12 scale you can wallpaper afterwards, but the half scale is tiny!
Pictures time!

Next: finish the roof then the bay window/porch thingy... I'm going to be bashing that hard!

Later!

The Half Scale Chantilly - Day 6

Hellooo, people!

I got lots done this weekend. YEY ME!

Walls were 'papered' and the crown molding were glued in place everywhere but the bedroom.
Next step, the attic space and the roof....
Pictures time:

Cheers!

The Half Scale Chantilly - Day 5

HELLO, HELLO

ARGH! I'm melting!!!! This heat wave is killing me....
In other news, the upstairs new wall was made of with the cut off of right side of the attic floor.. Did I get that right?. o.O
That sucker was hard to hold in place 'till the wood glue was dried enough. 2 medium quick grip and 3 hands ( mom was kind and helped me)
Pictures:

Next step, ceiling-paper and wall-paper. then it's to next door : THE BEDROOM!!!
Oh, and this Chantilly was named " The Lilac Cottage".
Cheers!

The Half Scale Chantilly - Days 3 and 4

Hi, everyone!

I have one thing to say about half-scale laser cut:
MADE OF AWESOME!!!! Almost no sanding!
With a new printer I got a lot of options of wallpaper. :D

Pictures galore:

A bit of modification in the kitchen's window:

And I did a bit of bashing upstairs:

With the new wall, now I have a hallway and a bathroom:

Later!

Cheers!

The Half Scale Chantilly - Day 1

Hi, it's me... again...

I got the Chantilly half-scale laser cut out of its 'box'.
I labeled the parts and pop them out.

Then I did my first bashing, OFF with the mullions!

Then a dry fitting happened:

What a cutie!
Now I'm going to eat something and ponder what else to bash!
Cheers!

McKinley dollhouse - 'Week' Forty-Two and the Hiatus

Hi everyone... It's been a long time, no?

I'd got a month of vacation and I spent in Canada..Again... Great times, great times!

But before that, I was spending time fussing around with the furniture in the McK.
Most furniture was glued in place and the finishing touches were almost done.

This is the McK status today:

This vacation, I bought  3 new Greenleaf kits: The Chantilly, The Brimbles Mercantile (both half-scale laser cut) and the gorgeous Half-Scale Fairfield. As a result, I started craving to built the new ones, which I did. Of course....

So, for now the McKinley will be going on hiatus, until I get the bug for it again.

Later!
