Merchants House Printer Friendly Version   By HIGHLAND_PIPER - Dec. 31, 1969 I figured one day that I really had not built that many houses for my "city fight" terrain. I wanted a building with a small balcony and room enough for one of two squads to hide in if neccessary. I also wanted the house to look like it was owned by someone with money, but not overly rich. So I started on the construction of the merchants house. Molds used are Fieldstone Wall Mold #70 Fieldstone Accessories Mold #71 Flagstone Floor Tile Mold #260 Wood Shingle Roof Mold #240 Wooden Plank Mold #220 other items used 1/4" subfloor board. At the time of construction I did not own mold #220 and used a left over piece of board used as a subfloor. This was painted brown and a rug thrown over the top of it. Paper Towels Paper Towels were used for the rugs in the merchants house. An image was selected and printed out on thick paper towel. I use paper towels for rugs, carpets, wall hanging and pictures because you can get different textures for each piece you want giving it a realistic look. When painting a new Fieldstone project I try to do something new, different colors, washes, etc. For the merchants house I went with a Machine Grey Base coat instead of black. I then painted many of the stones with blue, then continued with different shades of greys and blues to finish it out.   10 Ratings     12345      Public Comments Please log in to post a comment    Created  Comment  Aug. 20, 2003, 08:42AM  By: YASSINE nice variation of the Warlock house Piper.
