Giving an updo to the Gingerbread House

I just can’t help myself. After finishing Elsa’s tailor shop, I couldn’t help but to customize this one as well. I am just so used to painting all of my wooden models that I feel like I have to put in a bit work on the Rolife models because I just love vibrant colors so much. I am going to repaint the wallpaper, the roof, the trim and a bit of the furniture as well. I may end up doing all of the furniture… who knows? I even painted my baking sheets silver because I’ve never seen a white baking sheet….lol

It’s a nice kit. Enjoy and have fun

This is the difference between an artist and well me. I am taking things at face value. I might make a few adjustments but I am getting used to adding a few touches.
An artist, such as yourself, sees beyond and brings more things to life.
I feel so privilidged to see your work and have you share your ideas!
you have helped me so very much to open my eyes even just a little. Thank you!!

It always brings joy to me when others are inspired…and attempt to do a bit more to their models. I don’t mind at all taking the time to make them a bit more special. You are doing great!

Thanks @ThaoNguyen . I certainly will…but as I just started painting that roof…I realize it will be time consuming…yet I don’t mind that at all.

I’m not really surprised :rofl: I can’t wait to see what you do! I love the idea of the metal baking trays :ok_hand:

Thanks Sweetie! I appreciate the support @Nita_Davis

They are front and center… @Nectarines . How could I NOT do so…LOL! The back of that roof may (or may NOT) get painted. UGH! I always tend to bite off more than I actually WANT to do.

This is a nice kit. I don’t think I will customise mine when I get to it. I really like its original colours.

Couldn’t wait to see what you come out with! :blush:

I wonder if I’ll ever fall into the rabbit hole of painting these kits. :laughing:

I’ve not seen you ‘customize’ any besides the cuckoo clock…although you’ve got many that are very well worthy of doing so…but to each their own. I love making each and every one unique.

I never do..and I always enjoy every minute spent on these amazing models. @ThaoNguyen

Hahaha I’m gonna try and get through my Rolife kits first then I’ll extend my arms to the ROKR ones. :joy: I just don’t have the time and I wish I do!

Thanks for sharing! Nice colors there! I’m still not sure about painting the kits myself, maybe because I’ve never been someone eager to paint anything at all :rofl:

There is always time…but it does take up a LOT of it.. @JDisaduck

Most everything here is the original colors..exceot for my dots of red on the wallpaper and wainscotting below and a few ornaments on the tree. I’ve only painted the silver trays and some blue trim on the house. @TheToday Big changes are coming! :zany_face:

Big ones? Uuuuh. I’ll keep a close look at your updates! :stuck_out_tongue:
