Let the building Commence!!



The MDF for the first two floors arrived today so I can start building! Windows have been woodstained the same colour as the doors. I also managed to get a secondhand staircase from EBay that has a turn in it. It needs putting together and cleaning up a bit. Not sure if I will use it or not but it was only £7!

Very excited to be making this manor house but nervous too! I've made a small dolls house cottage but never anything this scale. And I'm not following any plans or anything, I'll just be making it up as I go along! Still don't know what the roof and front will look like yet! Should be a fun ride!! 😂

Daredevil Windows

 Work in Progress.  Windows of Matt Murdock/Daredevil's apartment. 1/6 scale. My window spacing is a tad smaller than the real thing but I don't have quite the length to work with. I've already made all the furniture. The windows are the last step. My plan is to leave a small gap behind the windows so I can create the glow of the street lights below, and the changing colours of the giant advertising screen that is outside his apartment.

Daredevil Apartment Chairs

  I've been working on the two Matt Murdock/ Daredevil apartment chairs for my 1/6 diorama. They're almost finished. I just need to tone down the edging because I made it too dark, and just tidy the details. They're not perfect but I'm lazy.😂 I've already made the sofa and table.

Cobblestones

  Working on the cobblestone floor of the cottage now. Given it a very rough coat of paint but will work with the detail brush next to get into all the little cracks. I'll probably lighten it a bit too. Then add some moss. Maybe the odd weed or tuft of grass!😂 The roof of the outside loo isn't glued down yet. That, along with the cottage roof and porch, will eventually be thatched.
