The roof looks good especially the chimney! This is shaping up beautifully.

Next steps are adding dirt to the floor and I can start painting this.

In case I don't get around to posting more today, here is what I've done this morning.

The last bit to do before I start painting is to make the ground surrounding the cabin. I've done this by using ordinary garden soil mixed with PVA glue.

Making the most of the one day of sun this weekend, I'm leaving it to dry outside.

Now I can start painting the cabin.

First layer of paint applied to exterior, once dried I'll use the same paint for the interior.

The base coats of the cabin walls are now finished, I've used a dark brown for the interior floor, nut brown for the porch floor and one of the doors.

Next I'll base coat the other door, the chimney and the roof.

Made a lot of progress today.

I started by mixing a dark brown wash and painting it between each of the logs both internal and external, the crevasses of the door and roof.

Mixing up a light grey with a touch of light blue for the chimney stack. When that had dried I went in between the bricks with the dark brown wash.

I then added white to the dark brown and dry brushed the interior walls, the floor and roof.

I took this piece outside to do a couple of test shots and show how big the cabin is, my cat thought I built him a new house.

What's left to do is paint the border of the base with black and add the windows.

Now that just looks nice. I think your cat thinks it his. Or hers.
