That's beautiful

The walls are amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent looking work so far. That wall color and texture is really nice.

I always felt that massive chimney stack without a chimney below it was odd, you have a great solution!
The textured paint on the walls is really great. Did you paint the walls after assembly or before? I was wondering whether the paint would crack if you tried to disassemble walls painted after assembly?

More updates. Painting the upstairs balcony and the window and door trim is in Krylon “iron oxide” primer with matte sealer.

The dormers are now Krylon Almond, smooth rather than the fine stone texture.

My daughter (23) loves taxidermy. So she asked if we could mount a deer’s head on the wall.  This buck was originally a reindeer and his antlers came from another brand of toy, since Playmobil doesn’t offer a larger whitetail type antler style.

I laid them out flat and sprayed them individually. They are a little tighter to fit together now but not enough to stop assembly.  The paint also covers some of the sins of constructing a single-window piece by chopping up a two-window piece and plastic-welding it to a connector.

Good to know - I have spray painted some western buildings, and it did lead to a very tight fit. Did you use an undercoat or just straight with the top-coat? I undercoated it because the person in the shop advised it, but I'm not sure if it's essential.

I love the elegant finish and colour scheme of the mansion's facade 

Your work is captivating and I am loving your project !

Cannot wait to see what will come next

I had been wanting a set of stairs with a landing, and this works!! Also decided to go up another story. Cannot really go higher because I can’t see into the attic now unless I stand on a step stool. However there will also be a pigeon loft with realistic painted pigeons, soon.
