Base Coat

Adding a green base coat of paint in case it shows through the grass.

Modroc

Adding the hills using scrunched up newspaper and modroc.


Completed modroc hills.


Window Leading

The window leading complete using the method I used in my testing stage of thin strips of duct tape onto clear plastic. I am pleased with the outcome although I would have like some of the lines to be a bit straighter but it was very difficult to do.



Flooring

At first I planned on doing wood flooring in the rooms using the same coffee stirrers I used on the walls but this was very time consuming and didn't have the best results. I then tried using different materials and painting them to get different effects. These were my two favourite results. On the right is sandpaper, I tried using different levels of grain and this was the best to give a carpet effect. On the left is a plastic tray that comes with pizzas. I cut it to shape and painted it to give it a patterned carpet look.

Flagging

I have now added the flagging for the upper section of the pavement and covered it in polyfilla ready to be painted.

Front Wall Complete

Front wall paint job now completed.


Second Room

The second room complete with pictures of Frodo and a young Bilbo Baggins on the wall.
