phloog Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Welcome to this week's edition of "Please tell me if this is stupid before I dive in too deep" In scouting around, I found a $5 birdhouse at a craft store. This one:http://www.michaels.com/artminds-triple-birdhouse/10058372.html#q=birdhouse&start=1 And my plan is to: 1) remove the fence and perches (dowels) 2) cover the holes with doors, ornate windows, or perhaps a clock in the upper 3) cover the thing with plastic and other modeling materials to make it look like a real building and paint it I have some concerns about the overly thick roof, but I THOUGHT this could get me a quick and easy form upon which to build... Silly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Not really, no. It could be done so it looks cool with those conversions that you mentioned. Roof is a bit thick, but if you add card as roof tiles and just add a thinner plank to left and right sides of every roof, it would nt look so thick in the end... Only drawback I can see is the playability. Or the lack of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phloog Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I will give it a try, and either declare victory or confess my shame when finished. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knghtpiper Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Go for it and post pictures, for about 5 bucks, there is not much loss if it goes south. But I think there is some potential in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
