When I saw the new take-along Pirate Tavern, I was certain there would be a way that I could customize it to pair better with the regular steck buildings. I loved the exposed timbers, and I didn't have a green half-timbered house yet. I also recently customized a fairy tale castle, and had a spare door/frame. I went in with a saw and a drill, and fixed the frame to the half timber, painted it all one hue, and then reattached the door. I cut out the windows, and used a clear, textured shelf liner between the half-timber and the wall to create the glass for the windows.
