The first section has been completed…
In hindsight it would have been sensible to paint each piece before assembling the house, although I was too excited to consider this when the house first arrived.
I am finding difficulties in reaching some of the less accessible areas; tight corners, window edges and sections which at first glance are obscured by their positioning such as the back of the balconies. It is also difficult to achieve a clean line between the window frames and the connecting wall.
That said, with the few pieces I have painted prior to inserting these obscuring pieces, such as the porch roof, I have found that the thickness of the added paint on the hinges was too great to slot the roof on afterwards. The excess paint needed to be filed off before the piece would fit. Given that filing is not an exact art, I found touch up was then needed once the piece was fitted and therefore the problems were presented as before.
