| Mountain Lodge - Converting A Toy Into A Model |
This
house has an interesting origin - originally it was not suposed to
be a model, but a simple toy. I got this house casually on a flea
market. At once I saw the chance to convert it into a nice model.
The house had, as I wrote before, toy character, toy: the door
could be opened, the roof was removable, the windows had no window
panes. As the first step, the door was replaced the door - the door
opening was widened, in order to put in a door from an AUHAGEN
set. Likewise, the brickwork aorund the foundation came from the
same set. All windows were vitrified and received the imitations of
curtains. Finally, the painting with PLAKA colours took place: the roof
tiles were painted red, the external walls white. The
originally red chimney now became white as well. The timber
claddings at the top sides of the gable walls were painted light brown.
So, finally an interesting model has arisen from a simple toy.
