Steppin' on up! Excellent progress on the stairs. How did you maintain a consistant distance between the steps?
For my Walther's interlocking tower I scratched a level mechanism (not exactly sure what it's called either) from a block of wood and some wire. I didn't light the model for some reason and figured it'd be seen in silouhette only from ambient room lighting so little handles & such didn't really matter much.
You may be able to pull off something a bit more detailed, especially if you are going to light the interior.
For a pot-bellied stove, if you've got a small barrel around, just add legs, a flat top, maybe a door overlay and a small straw pipe/stack then paint it black and dry brush it gray. At least that's what I'm planning on doing!

Oh, pics are in the computer...but I'm pretty tired so it may be tomorrow morning before they make it to the album and thread...

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
