So as you can see we have the popsicle stick bricks, and the odds and ends used as detritus on the ground to give it some depth, popsicle sticks also. make up the door frame and the edge of the balcony. There is a tongue depressor acting as the side of the staircase (what's that part called? I can't remember) and some small dowels for the post support for the balcony, the railing and the railing against the wall.
The trick to making the staircase is to lay the model on its back, lie it down and put the balcony and treads on first. I used mini-jenga pieces for the stairs in this build. Once that is dry you can return it to normal position and start adding stuff.
If there are any tutorials you'd like to see, let me know, maybe I can build one for you step by step here on the blog, but I have to hear from you first.
In AHT news I'd like to thank me dear sweat Ma for being a true hatchet man and knocking all the dead wood out of the first 25 pages of Book One. She was merciless and that's a good thing the book was really front heavy so I'll make the edits and see if it flows, we've got to get these kids moving, plenty of time for backstory later.

This style is a bit of the "best of both worlds." The Tuscan-style features both straight and curved lines. Scrollwork-type artistry is central to this design theme. It's more ornate than those in a traditional or Victorian style. It lends a particular elegance and look of wealth to a home's exterior that is unmatched.
