Okay, skipping ahead, I finished this thing off (made a dreadful mess on the workbench during glitter application). Here's my version of the popular "bungalow" style; it's not faithful to the Sears catalog, nor to the various examples seen locally. It's more of an amalgamation of the features of Sears' "Bedford" and the others, with allowances for my screw-ups :lol: :

Another Sears house, this from 1932...The Maplewood:

A few minor changes (chimney, window arrangements, etc.), but basically as drawn. The roofline on that front entryway was a challenge.

Equally usable as a birdhouse.
