Simona's house

Hello dears,


Today I finally sat down to work on Simona's house.  I opened the parcel and took a step back.  There seem to be hundreds of pieces, a real big puzzle game!

It will take me ages to finish.  First I'll just dry fit it together, then I'll disassemble and paint each piece
before I glue it in place.  I sorted the pieces, more or less, according to their function, outer walls, floors railings, stairs, etc.  Here are some pictures for you to see what I mean. There are some very puzzling
tiny pieces which purpose I don't know.  There is one page missing from the handbook.  I hope it's not essential and will cause no problem.







Before I start painting, I have to make sure I have enough paint of each color I intend to use.  It will be
difficult to match a new paint color to one already used.

It's too hot and humid to work.  I hate going out shopping on hot days.

I wonder who is, or are, going to live in this fantasy house. Have you any ideas?  I have not yet measured the two rooms to
decide if it's a half or quarter scale house.

More to come soon.....

Hugs and blessings

    The house is so beautiful, Drora! I have the same type of house but have not figured out at what scale it is made. Need to do some calculations. Hugs.

    Your already off to a fantastic start Drora! That house i do believe is between half with some fiddling. I have been meaning to pick one up myself I thought with the gothic style it would make a wonderful haunted mansion with things peeking out the windows. If you look up Fantasy Villa on google you can .
    see a bunch of them in different styles
    I look forward to seeing more! Hugs, J

    Thank you Jane. I looked up Fantasy Villa as you suggested and it really is a great help. The house is too small half scale and too big for quarter scale so I'll have to make the interior furnishing myself, a job I really love. hugs

    My, what a lot of pieces! And I know the feeling of having parts where you have no clue what their purpose might be... *LOL* But I'm convinced you will build something gorgeous in the end - whatever you decide it shall be. I think it gives you many possibilities - Haunted Mansion of course... or a Mouse House, an old Villa with many rambling plants... you will find out who lives there real soon, I have no doubt about it.

    Hugs

    Wow! That's harder than any 3D jigsaw! Good luck putting everything together, I'm glad you have a lot of patience to do it! I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

    Wow, so many pieces! It looks like quite a project but I am sure it will be so rewarding when complete. It is ornate in the dry fit picture you posted. I can already tell it will be beautiful.
    Hugs,
    Lisa

    Hi Drora, This looks like it is going to be a really fun project. I think the haunted house idea would be really fun for you, but I look forward to seeing whatever you decide to make. xo Jennifer

    Madre mía que batiburrillo, no se como te has aclarado, aunque con tus manos es lógico que al final saliese la casa
