| Shower in and kitchen area |
Working away on the Half-Scale Garage's second floor living space. (See last post. Here's the garage front and interior so far.) Getting there!
(*NOTE: I wish there was a way to get updated posts to alert viewers. But? New pix coming shortly: the bath is done; the shower is done! Yes, still working on the *&^ lights!)
It may not look like much so far, but it took a lot of fiddling to get to this point with the shower in and where the kitchen should sit (more or less). (*Click photos for full size.)
The extension is on (the kitchen area.) I'm thinking of not gluing the small roof on (not shown here) since it fits snug and it makes it easier to get inside if needed. Just have to glue and paint the shingles. (Yay, strips that came with the house!)

| Bath next to window; shower on other side. Rust in the kitchen sink, too. |
I decided to use the striped paper on the large side wall (at left not shown) so it would match, and this may not be glued either as I really don't like the limited opening from the back. We'll see... And fiigured out the shower and bathroom, so far. The shower isn't perfect but it's reasonable enough using a corner cut from plastic packaging, wood trim, and beads for the shower head and knobs. (I see I need to fix that side wood strip. I always see things after the photos. ha!)

| A rusty bathroom |
Trying to figure out how to add the other smaller brick wall to left so I can put a rod and a faux "folding door," that way I can remove the full ceiling/side wall if needed.
Got this 3D bathroom set (had to dirty it up!) by Blackthorn Miniatures/Etsy or on FB. They have some fun spooky items, too.
Have to get the lights attached next.
I did have two larger square 5.0 mm MEGA LED lights (Like this on Evan Designs) that are pretty bright and work on 2 AAA batteries (1.5 v each = 3 volts). That should work on this floor. I have two left but will have to get more of these as they really are very bright. I switched out a smaller battery pack from a kit since it'll be small enough to fit under the sink then so I can hide it. That's a pain but I don't always light these up much anyway.

| Cut up plastic cabinet; using bottom cabinets on left. |
Came up with a good idea for the garage. I'm putting in fake flourescent ceiling lights using clear plastic pen tubes (below) and card stock. Then I came up with a good solution to hide the battery box - I cut the rest of the orangey plastic sink cabinets to paint and glue to the front of the battery pack. That'll be hidden under a wood counter so it looks like built in cabinets but will be removable. The string itself can be covered by a painted straw and attached to the wall.

So far, so good! I know, not too exciting but it gives some ideas for adding different things if needed. On to the lights next time.
