Fiddlers Green

I just finished the first of the storybook collection houses, Robert's Roost. I started off planning to not do anything special with it, but halfway through decided I would open up the interiors, so it didn't come out as well as it could have. On with the pictures:






I decided to make my own custom sign, so I put my signature on it instead of hiding it on the bottom like I do with most of my models.


And here are some interior shots. I'll add some furniture to these after I build the next house, but for now I'll call it finished.








For the next one, I'm doing windows! Any suggestions for material to use? I can't make up my mind between using clear tape or trying to sandwich inkjet transparency between the inner and outer walls. How thick is that stuff, and what glues work well with it?

Nice job on this model Jobeaux !!!
Really enjoy the changes you made to it too.
Makes it more fun to do what you want with it. ( furniture, ETC )
As for the windows, maybe you could even use clear plastic wrap
sandwiched between the walls. That might be lighter than the ink jet transparency.
Tackey glue should work with it too.
Will look forward to seeing the result.

Looks great! Injet transparency does work with light coats of Tacky glue. Being flat panels helps. Depending on the brand, some aren't too thick either. The ones I have aren't any thicker than 67# stock.

Thank's for the compliments gentlemen! Glad you enjoyed it.





I think I'll be trying the plastic wrap for the next one, even at 67# stock thickness the transparency would make for a really thick wall in HO scale, and probably leave a noticeable ridge if I didn't do the whole wall. Then there's also the fact that my local Office Depot doesn't seem to have the stuff and acted kinda snarky when I asked about it. (In their defense they did seem a little understaffed and swamped that day.) Stand by for more storybook fun with windows and furniture!
