Apologies for promising a tutorial & then leaving you waiting! I am very easily distracted and decided (in my infinite wisdom) over the sch...

There are several commercially prepared products labeled "dollhouse stucco", or some such out there; most of them aren't very good, and they...

I've decided to take some photos while I prepare and colour wash one of the walls in the Castle's kitchen wing.
