But I can see that thus project has passed from "Yeah, I can do that," to "beyond my level of skill and resourcefulness". If you are finding it difficult, ain't no way I'd do any better. <br /><br />On another note, I wonder about the exterior of the Hartwell Tavern, and whether the Hartwells painted the exterior at all. How many of these first and second period houses I, like you, pass every day were painted. Paint isn't cheap now, and it clearly wasn't then. I am sure that the staff at Minuteman has studied the paint layers from original woodwork, and has some idea about what the exterior looked like. For now, anyway they have opted for bare wood.<br /><br />Also on the topic of the Hartwell Tavern, I see that a chap in Britain did the Tavern in 28mm. I wonder if he could do the same thing in 54mm.<br /><br />Http://dampfwerks.blogspot.com/2010/01/Hartwell-tavern-in-28mm-part-three.htmlG.
