Great that there are no deadlines in this project... hihi
South European gardens do have Cypress trees! No question: I want...
And I found a great tutorial that works in 1:12 as well.
I used the coarsest steelwool on the market, sprayed it brown, and then added NOCH moss green. Worked like a charm :-)
Southern European gardens do have plane trees (Platane) as well... mh....
Found a piece of wood (seems to come from special oak species, maybe a bonsai..) at the local nursery that could work. Poor thing is going through a tough few months now: the wood is still a little green and I hope that I can straighten out the stem. And then I will be in for a bit of punching and gluening... eventually.
And I made a climbing plant (to cover the cracks in the wall...): using paper covered wire which I could paint and glue on, a mini punch from the punch bunch and tissue paper, which I sprayed with all sorts of greens, a bit of red and orange. Wonderful work to do when 'hearing' TV....
I thought that adding a garage and potters studio is not going to make much of a difference - the project is big anyway... might as well.
I have decided on pottery studio because I did pottery many years back and know what that should look like. The nice part: here, things do not have to be perfect...
After getting that far, I noticed that I forgot old newspapers, which are quite important for a potter to cover pieces so that they can dry slowly.
I made some tools already - but need a different container...
and am quite ambitious now to get anywhere close to this potter's wheel...
What fun this is!
