House project (1 Viewer)

[Captain]

I have been tinkering with this house for some time now and thought I'ld post a pic as it nears completion. It's made of white styrfoam and popsicle sticks. i still have to finish the windows, the door and the interior. I hope to use it for interior pics as well as exterior.

Also, those are Conte plastic Iron Brigade figs that I finished yesterday.

That is absolutely stunning.
Did you make the other objects too?

Just the stonewall. The crate, barrel, stools and table I bought at a show. I think they may be Marx remakes but I dont really know. I just painted them.

You did a great job with this!! You should be very proud of your accomplishment even though you have a little more work to do with it.

 

[Captain]

Thank you gentlemen for your kind remarks they are greatly appreciated.

Excellent Captain, looking forward to more pictures of this great house featured in some dios perhaps ?

Nice work Captain, the house looks great, and it's always good to see buildings that have been made to a high standard using skill, rather than money.

Captain,
I love it! The white-wash and the simplicity. Give me about 100 acres and I'll plop it down right in the middle with some livestock! Great job!

That's a good looking house Captain.

I love that weathered look on the roof and the white wash on the exterior walls.

Great job,

Michael

Once again a big old thanks. I built this thing by the seat of my pants without an overall plan in mind. I almost gave up on it a couple times but kept piddlin' with it. I almost have the interior finished now and am looking forward to an "inside dio" that I've already started the figures for.

 

[Captain]

Here is another shot of it when Marse Robert stopped by one evening for a rest. The roof has been painted since then. Gen Lee is a Conte metal figure that I painted and the other is plastic.

Beautiful Captain!

What did you use for the clapboard roof?

 

[Captain]

On a tip from Fishhead I used a pair of Channel-lock pliers and broke off pcs of pop-sicle sticks for the shingles. The clap-board siding is pop-sicle sticks and the trim pcs are called "Skinny-sticks" from the craft dept. at Walmart.

 

[Captain]

I've about got the insides done and thought I'ld post another pic.

 

[Wraith]

Neat job Capt!
Like the walls and floor boards especially.
