While I´ve been fiddling about with tiny bricks and mortar Tony has been busy building/decorating the outside front of the house. He´s made the beams look really good, and has made a fabulous job of building the window frames, a doorstep and he has even put the wooden doweling pins in the beams using bits of toothpicks.
He also put the slates on the porch roof, making them look nice and uneven. He put a coat of patchy grey paint on, the next step will be putting patches of moss and grey bits on it, to make it look really 15th century and not brand new. I know he´s not looking forward to finishing the main roof bits - it´s a lot of work ...
So far the bit he´s done looks great though! I have bought some scenic sattering and moss to put the finishing touches on. It will have to look really old and weathered.
We shall put patches of spray glue on the tiles, and scatter them with moss and grey bits. Maybe a bit of sandpaper will be needed in parts, but we shall see.
