MAY REDUX, 2009
(Cont.)
 |

I glued bits of clump foliage and grasses
(intending to make each greenhouse slightly different from the
other) into the tables. And the cabinet in each building
was painted.

So when reassembled, the metamorphosis is
complete. Voyez la différence!

My desire was to fashion a multi-textured
look to each hothouse. Before we adjourn today, here’s a
“topless” look at all 10 greenhouse interiors.

Only one more odd thing. Did you ever
see greenhouses where the windows were THIS clean? Nope.
I discovered as I continued to put the hillside together that
every time I sprayed scenic cement, it tended to run down the
windows and give that dirty rained-on effect we normally expect
to see. Until that point I had intended to simply spray
the hothouses with dullcote, but they actually look pretty good
this way. There’s nothing like modeling by accident, is
there? Everybody thinks you’re a genius!

On to summer, boys and
girls! I’ve expanded Nonaville as far as I can, it
appears. My hand is forced . . . The only project left is
the neighborhood at the end of the Burlington Station Road.
First things first however - Music calls. It IS summer and
I need to start on my writing schedule for the year.
Thanks for dropping in. Thanks for
the emails and comments. Everybody have a wonderful
summer.
