Getting started
Let’s start the kit by trimming all the excess wood from
doorways and windows. I used the hobby knife to cut odd
lengths of boards on the siding (both sides) and added nail
holes at these cuts. I then mixed the yellow wash, making
sure that I had enough for the whole building. It is difficult
to mix the same consistency as the previous mix if you don’t
have enough. I used an empty airbrush bottle for my washes.
I began with the washes on the exterior of the kit. Once
this was done and let dry for 30 minutes, I stained the inte-
rior with either white or an earth color and again let dry for
about 30 minutes. Remember to place parts on a flat surface,
4. I add nail holes to the siding. This detail is much
easier with the side lying flat on the work pad.
