I started it two days ago....
It's a rather good kit, but the roof material sucked. I replaced it with Campbell shingles instead.

The lack of a bell bothered me, but I solved it by 3D printing a bell and fastener.

I weathered it by painting white acrylic over stained wood that I had soaked with mineral spirits.

The roof is painted tan and then I brushed on burnt umber oil paint that I wiped of while wet.

The windows turned out really good with the stained glass plastic.
