The Log Mansion

I completed the alterations of the house by bumping out one wall to the edge of the kit and then creating a small mud room off the kitchen area. Stained the logs.More trim will need to be added.



The deck was scored into 12ft @ Halfscale 6 inch boards the deck is very large so going with a long board looked the best for this style. There will be a porch and railings. Ive created a base color on the paperclay foundation:



The interior gave me some trouble: At first I attempted to create a flat pine siding via scoring like the deck but the wood grain would not allow for this. So the second option was a plaster and wood look that you see in more modern cabins. For this house it will be rustic and modern so the mix will work.



I did a flagstone floor in the kitchen and mudroom. You can see the wood floors, and some of the trim/windows are being placed. Its so wet here the drying times on the stain/paint etc are taking a bit longer but I'm on schedule.



The wood tone on the interior is a nice Carmel brown color.



This floor was created with paper clay then "grouted" and sealed since we need a level floor for the kitchen.

The house is almost complete, I figure it should be finished this weeknd after touchups and some more additions. Here are some shots...
Ive added the dormers, railings and some porch framing
. I am still adding to the sides and railings. I have to craft a chimney for this side.
 A shot of the whole interior before framing and the back panels are applied.
 The living room will have some beams along the celing to hide the lighing wire. I am going to use led lights in this house. They last very long as will be easy to replace if need be in the future.


More work to do but we are getting close!

Thanks hon!

I will post them, I am on a deadline trying to make it as awesome as I can for my customer

I have to do the chimney, beaming, shelving and the roof!

Ive finished and delivered the house. I am just going to post a couple of shots here, there are more on my blog.

So to sum up. Fully logged extierior. Bumpout of the mudroom and fireplace wall. Alterations on the porch and base.

Stone work is paperclay.
Old logs are stained and dotted logs.
