New 12th scale manor house build...

 After making my dolls house cottage I decided the only other dolls house I wanted was a manor house. So, I'm going to take the plunge and make one!


I should point out that I have no carpentry experience, no plan, very little patience, the attention span of a gnat, and will be making it up as I go along! Should be fun! 😂

But I will post my progress here so you can see the transformation!

In the third and fourth pics the MDF was stacked like playing cards, just to give me a rough idea of the room plan. So nothing is attached there and the sizes are all off and the whole thing collapsed about two seconds after I took the photos!😂 I have since bought thicker MDF for the walls as well because I didn't realise the windows and doors would be so thick! 😂

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.
