Wow. Thanks so much for that Fled. That seems amazingly easy and inexpensive. I'll be attempting that in the very immediate future.
yeah, thats REALLY cool...i remember it from you dio and thought you bought it somewhere...very cool
I gave your Tutorial a shot the last couple of nights. this is what i came up with. I kept it similar but didnt want to straight up copy ya. I used a bulk Lucky Charms Cereal box (the ones that have 3 cereal bags inside) as the base. I used a Hot Tomales box for the porch roof. Main Roof is removable. The bottom floor has no access except the doorway. I may put bubble plastic in for window glass.
Now to make about 5-6 more for a small town for dio shots.

Thanks guys. The base Is one of those hardboard pieces you get at Lowes by the 4x8 sheets. Than under the roof I used 2 of those plastic bathroom wall tiles. Redid my mother in laws bathroom and they were on her walls. I kept all that didnt crack when removing for my dios. i'm such a hoard when it comes to that stuff. I am now debating on cutting the back out of the bottom floor wall and making it a removable wall. Inside needs details and its all I see when i look at it now.

very good job!
I used water-based latex house paint. Acrylic should be fine, as long as it dries to a flat/matt finish.
