A printie balcony & Blue Green windows
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 11:33 am
I was needing to rehab a small all coconut early chalet styled house and it had a balcony piece that was a printed design and I needed a balcony on another house I had restored already.
The chalet needed to have a corner of the roof replaced (I used some Durham's powdered putty to fill in the miss-matched patch and sanded it). Additionally the original blue green windows were all pretty well shattered and needed replacement.
I popped off the cardboard balcony which was a strip of printed cardboard glued to a small block of wood. I scanned it and printed it off from the original and because it is an ink jet printer I used some green & yellow pencils to enhance the color some. I cut out the appropriate sized block of wood from a piece of balsa and glued the paper to some cardboard and glued the pieces to the restored printie house.
