Another step closer to building my German camp Diorama, Guard dog houses

I started out by using some small wooden bird houses I got at Michaels craft store. After removing the roof top trim and next the pirch peg by the hole, I traced a line up and around the hole to make the doorway for the shepards. Then I cut about 1/2" off of the bottom of the house, cut out the doorway and Wa La, I have a nice scale dog house ready for painting. I've done 3 tonight and have 3 or 5 left to do

Also you can see the new look in my troops that I just made with the head transplants from the FOV figures, I like the new look

Great idea with the bird houses! And it's an easy visit getting the wife to go in there!

Naw, it's even easier than that. My wife to be WORKS at Michaels, so I even get a discount on things there too

Good eye! Not always easy to spot "What it can be" out of something that is something else!
Those look great!
