Bricks are on!

Yay, finally the bricks are on and sealed. Just the grouting to look forward too!

1.12 scale Gothic bed

For a while I have envisioned a 1.12  scale Gothic bed that i'd like to make. So using the head board and foot board from a broken bed I made templates then cut from balsa wood and covered in fabric after stuffing with cotton wool.

I made four posts from card then covered also in fabric. At the bottom I used balls that need to be painted black and resin skulls to top them off.

Once attached to the sides I left to dry properly. Loads more to do but thought you may like a sneak peak.

Witchcraft Manor, another small step

Full of excitement about the creating of Witchcraft manor I have begun to add the bricks to the main front of the house. Not as easy as I had expected, so after a few re arrangements I decided I was happy with the look they were glued into place. I still need to cut the rest of the bricks to fit and grout the lot. But it is starting to take shape!

Witchcraft Manor

A few of you may remember that about a year ago I bought a doll  house from ebay with the intention of renovating it.
Well after dismantling it it has remained in a bag waiting for me to get around to it's restoration, witch I now have.
After some serious filling and sanding I blasted over the wood with pva glue mixed with water as a sealant then under coated the whole front in gray. I have some stone bricks to set over the top and grout to set them in.
The window frames and door frame I painted green with a gentle mottle to add a little depth.
The insides of the windows I painted dark gray. I will be adding glass to the windows at a later date.
I have been looking around for some dried moss to add between the bricks but the spring green I want is sold out on ebay and i'm not sure where else to look!
Using wire, ivy leafs and flower tape I created an ivy to grow around the doorway. So much to do but at least this is the start of the house I named Witchcraft Manor.
