Building “Up!” On the Layout: 7 March 2021 Update - House Floating & Overhead Cloud added!

So I’ve built a bunch of buildings for the layout, but this will be the first one suspended in mid air.    My plan is to build a scale representation of the house from the movie Up, along with the requisite balloons and some clouds for good measure.

I’ll be starting with a wooden house kit procured via Etsy, and will be modifying it as needed to look good from the bottom and include interior lighting.

I’ll pick up this build log with the house mostly assembled.   This kit has a LOT of tiny wooden parts.   Here I have it mostly built with the walls painted and windows/window dressings in place:

Here you can see I have a couple LEDs installed in the first floor “ceiling”,  as well as a zip tie loop to support the wire it will hang from:
