good afternoon to all...

i've been busy this week with another custom "glitter house" order...this is a victorian of my own design...it will be finished and delivered well before the holidays...the base will be a little less than 7" x 10" x 3/4" thick with a wrought iron look fence...overall height of the house, including the base, will be about 9"...

finished colors have not been decided for sure...but it will not be dull!...

yes...lots of pieces and lots of time...but who keeps track?...

my very best regards...

howard

Yes, and pay attention to the various ways Howard as braced or supported them so the paint can dry without sticking to anything. :-)

How fantastic! Looks very much like a house in the family that I have been (and remain) reluctant to attempt because it's so complex. Wow!
