I finished the house for my abandoned farm scene. It is a Carolina Craftsmans kit, I added the front porch, the back addition and the stone foundation.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.

That is a wonderful model. I like the rotten roof most.

from the look of it, I would think that when you put it, in the scene, on the layout, you'll need weeds and shrubs grown wild and up to the first floor window sills.
