Last night I spent a lot of time painting the spindles for my stair rails and I think I figured out part of the reason I never seem to finish any of the dollhouse kits I've worked on. I really don't like painting. It's not that it's a really awful task, or that I hate it with a passion or anything. It's just so tedious! Especially on tiny little things on 1/24" scale stair rails, or fiddly little window frames. Maybe that's why most of my dollhouses have wallpapered interiors.
At any rate, the first coat of paint is on now. I think I'll need to sand them down and do another coat (bleh!) to make it look more smooth and finished looking. Then I just need to fit the staircases into place and I can move onto the next task. I'm so looking forward to finishing this house!
