Housing Project part 2

Ive been playing around with the house some tonight. Here is what I've done.

As you can see I've only worked on the front. I used green stuff to cover up the gaps that were there from making the door shorter. The door still seems a little tall, oh well. This is just a test house. I then used the cardboard from my new Khador battlebox and made the corners. I used more green stuff for the rivets. I think they may be a little big. Not too sure. I used more cardboard to create the overhang over the window. I also used some balsa wood for the supports. The windows are waaaayyy too high. So I didnt know what to do about that. I just tried out the overhang and covered the upper two windows, just leaving the bottom ones, I think that works. For the door I simply covered the hole with cardboard and made a boarded with balsa wood.

For the windows on the sides, I think I may make some shutters and close em up. I also have to figure out how I want the door to look. Then its to the roof. Not sure if I will make tiles or metal slabs (like sheet metal, although I have no idea how to do that).

I found this cardboard house at Hobby Lobby today. It only cost $2.99. They also had two-story ones as well. So I said, hell, why not. Im gonna play around with it, alter it alot, add shingles, a door, work on the windows, have to pipes for steam punk-ness, etc etc. I think there will be alot of green stuff work too, which will be new to me. So yea, I have never done anything like this before, so this will be a test. I know its a little big, its the roof that makes it tall. And yes, the roof can be removed. But for the price, you cant beat it. Ill post every now and again as I work on it. And in the pic you can see that I cut a piece of balsa wood to make the door shorter. I then primed the front simply to see how it would look.
