Lake Town in need of Spring Cleaning!
Useful items for scratch building
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m using easy materials to help build out this Lake Town board. Cheap items and found items are my friends here. And if I can glue with PVA wood glue, that’s even better (I have an allergy to superglue).
Some materials:
Coffee stirrers. These are planks, decking, support beams - a big cheap bag ordered online.
Matches. Great for adding details like window frames, but also for small pillars and jetty piers.
These were corner protectors from putting up floating shelves. Cut on an angle and detailed, they will make perfect dormers for roof spaces.That’s a few examples of easy to find or re-purposable items for scratch-building. There’ll be more as this project develops, so hopefully you’ll follow along as I discover what works well – and what doesn’t!
