OK, all three buildings are pretty much ready for paint, but tonight I kept finding new 3D printed greebles. Each kit comes with roof section that has no windows and one section with attic windows. I wanted some differentiation between the homes so I combined parts of two kits. I took the two sections of windowless roof and joined them. I also took the two sections of windowed roof and joined them. The windowless roof panels are slightly shorter than the windowed ones. Since they weren't designed to do this, there is a small gap created on the non-windowed roof. I did have to shorten one of the the now dual windowed roof sections to get them to line up. My mini table top table saw took care of that in a few seconds. None of the trim or windows are permanently installed at this point so that they can be removed easily for painting. Main assembly done with some Titebond III wood glue.
I also decided that I wanted my shutters to work. One of the homes will get full working shutters of the type that came in the kit and the other house may get some stone around the windows and no shutters. I may end up 3D printing some different shutters for the bakery. I had bought these mini hinges for some project long ago and don't even remember what for. They will make nice hinges for the shutters.
The shuttered house will get a full terracotta roof that I'm 3D printing tonight. That will cover the slight gap at the top nicely.
Gonna be picking up some acrylic sheet to make the windows as I need to visit Home Depot to grab some ceiling fans to install in the spare bedrooms.
Why can't I ever just build something right out of the box...
That's all for now...
