The Log Mansion: Staining, Trimming..Stone!

Good day good folks!

How has your spring/summer/fall going? We are just sitting in a weeks long rain, cold...crap. I hear there may be days of close to 65f / 18c... wow thanks nature..

Any way, lets do a update shall we?
_____________________________________________________

I completed the alterations of the house by bumping out one wall to the edge of the kit and then creating a small mud room off the kitchen area. Stained the logs.More trim will need to be added.

The deck was scored into 12ft @ Halfscale 6 inch boards the deck is very large so going with a long board looked the best for this style. There will be a porch and railings. Ive created a base color on the paperclay foundation: 

The interior gave me some trouble: At first I attempted to create a flat pine siding via scoring like the deck but the wood grain would not allow for this. So the second option was a plaster and wood look that you see in more modern cabins. For this house it will be rustic and modern so the mix will work. 

I did a flagstone floor in the kitchen and mudroom. You can see the wood floors, and some of the trim/windows are being placed. Its so wet here the drying times on the stain/paint etc are taking a bit longer but I'm on schedule. 

The wood tone on the interior is a nice Carmel brown color. 

You can see there is quite alot of room in this great kit, even at this scale. 1:24th


This floor was created with paper clay then "grouted" and sealed since we need a level floor for the kitchen.


What do I mean in this scale? Well let thumb buddy show you. Here is thumb buddy on the stone fireplace..
