Priming Walls and Summer Progress

The dollhouse has progressed slowly over the summer.  I mostly focused on painting and 3D printing files.  I've just about got all the walls coated in a layer of white primer (MDF likes to absorb it all up!) and they are ready for a light sand.  I decided that this would be a much easier task to do before assembly.

 Thankfully the weather has been great and I've enjoyed painting outside!  I used a latex primer, you can see it below.

Once painted I was left with one giant puzzle.

And speaking of puzzles, these are the window trims, mullions, and door accents all ready for paint.

I tried out the black and white colour scheme on some of the cardboard test window pieces and I really like the way it looks.

 This is an example in the kitchen:

As for the 3D printing, I edited some old files and made some new.  The standing bath faucet and glasses were custom orders.  I'm excitedly waiting to hear how @allieshouse likes the glasses and whether they fit her 1:12 dolls.

I also had two separate requests for a pot filler.  I made a test print at my local library and now I'm working on getting a version where the arm will swing out.  The printer I used is a Makerbot and the quality is pretty low but it was great to get an idea of the overall look before I send to Shapeways.

 The final print will be with detailed resin which is smoother and better to paint.  

The plan is to put in a big batch order of test prints and hopefully list them on my shop.  I've been working on modern 3D lighting options and bathroom pieces too.  Typically I make things for my own dollhouses but if you have a piece you would like made leave a comment below and I might just be able to add it into my designs.

I hope everyone has been doing well and making the most of these last few weeks of summer!  The cooler nights remind me that I need to get all my painting done before it's too cold to paint outside.  Thanks for catching up with me!

>Some extra information about the scene.  The paint can label is a wooden dowel piece with a printed label from Pepper at mitchymoominiatures.  The blue containers and toolbox are hers as well, available in Marion's Shapeways shop Modern Dollhouse 3D here.  I picked up the two paint brushes and ladder at the Little Dollhouse Company.  (The ladder came unfinished, and I stained it).<
