greetings...

new house project recently started...most cardboard work done...lots of trim parts and details...two or more coats of white primer are next...not sure of color theme yet...5" x 7" x 3/4" thick base...6" tall including base...

my very best regards...howard...

there's a house very similar to this one in a neary town--done in lime green, purple and ivory--quite the color scheme!

Love the trim work.

Cool..

GREAT start, Howard. How do you come up with this stuff?

The architecture on that house is A-MAZ-ING!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!

greetings...two coats of white primer added...needs another because glue is still causing the primer to crackle...

Looking good, Howard! It's neat to see the houses in a coat of primer! What kind of glue do you use?

brian...regarding glues i use...

aleene's original tacky glue for building...usually buy at walmart...best price i have found...

hobby lobby brand white glue for mica and glitter application...very inexpensive...even better with a 40% off coupon...

elmer's glue sticks...the disappearing purple kind...for covering bases with bond paper...

keep some 2-part epoxy cement on hand, too...

Thanks for sharing Howard! I pretty much have the same arsenal of glue with the hobby lobby brand, I'll have to see if I can find some of that and try it out. I may try some of the fast drying Aleene's on a house one of these days, I seem to spend time paper clipping stuff together and blowing on it alot. I used it on a tiki lamp I built and it worked great for holding down the fabric.

thought i'd post the color pallet for the house...wish me luck...lots of detail painting ahead...and waiting for things to dry...
