Hello fellow hobbyists. I was helping out one of our members that is going to reproduce one of the Vintage Giants Putz House. As long as I was sending him this information I thought I might share with you as well. There was a unique roof treatment that the Japanese artisans used on the vintage Giant and Semi-Giant Putz House. They used rumbled up colored foil then glued a glossy clear cellophane over that making the foil looking smooth and shiny. Then they would give it a snow treatment which was white stucco impregnated with white coconut. For fun I've added the Giant Mansion that is twined to a Semi-Giant. Same structure, different scale , different color scheme.
1st picture is the giant and it's proper colors.
2nd picture is the Semi-Giant with Large Girl with Doll
The roof on these houses is rumpled foil covered
with clear cellophane covered with with stucco
and white coconut. (see photo).
