geetings to all…

i’ve been following all the new types, sizes and sources for windows, doors and mullions that are now available…my view is that it can only be good for the hobby…

so…i just had to try them myself in a small cottage…the inspiration for some of the details came from the house tom rebuilt for janet…(but i didn’t copy it exactly)…i’m probably going to follow a similar color scheme, too…see this link for the inspiration house…

here are pix of the major cardboard pieces, paper mullions and progress so far…the base, fence and other details will be shown later…

the silver paper mullions were produced on a craftcutter according to paul's instructions in his article at

http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/html/windowframe_patterns.html

i’ll post pix of the project as it progresses…

my very best regards…

Steve, I'm going to guess that Howard started the fence with a hole punch, the way he did in this article from LittleGlitterHouses.com: http://littleglitterhouses.com/paul/sma ... houses.htm

In case you want to get started before Howard gets back to you. :-)
