My goal is to someday build a Little Free Library in front of my house, that looks like my house - but first I need to model my house.
Let’s here it for step 1 (actually like step 3, but the others were paper/cardboard) 
4.25"x4" plywood and wood glue.
The windows are scored, and currently still have the masking on them.
Wow quite impressive. I look forward to seeing the finished product
Looks fantastic! Is this to scale? I’ve been working on making a model of a little country-style church so I can appreciate all the attention to detail…but, then that’s the part that keeps me going…feeding into my OCD tendencies. 
I had been thinking of submitting mine to the catalog, however there are so darned many pieces to it…and they all take a really long time to weed…I will have to give it more thought later. Seeing the roof on yours reminded me of the weeding part because I hand-drew all the shingles for a more rustic look and it took forever to weed.
It’s approximately to scale. It should be square, but I didn’t take into account gluing the walls so there’s a .25" difference. At 4" that’s pretty big. At 2 feet it won’t be noticeable!
So many tiny parts! When I go again I’m going to remove the masking, paint, and then do the scoring/engraving.
you may be waiting quite a while!
Looks great. I wanna do the free movie rental library idea too
Can’t even count how many times I have done this…and still, never seem to learn. 
My first one was in cardboard, too…(so handy)…and I just cut my first one out of draftboard last night. Betting I will still find many things that need to be changed again.
“then do the scoring/engraving.” Duh…why didn’t I think of this! Thanks for the tip.
True…but, it would still need to be weeded.
Gorilla tape!
This is wonderful @deirdrebeth
There is a secret easy-weed technique. You remove the masking first. As every bit is getting engraved there will be almost no masking left anyway.
This is so cool. Since this is a model of what will be a bigger model you are going to have to put this one on a pole or support like the library and then get a photo of all three like an infinite regression thing!
Just to the front of it so there’s a LFL for the squirrels 
Awesome idea to replicate your house. Great project!
This is awesome!
That looks awesome! If you make a larger one like that for a free library, I don’t understand how you would put books in there though? Where would it open to do so? Now making it into a birdhouse by having a window that’s open… I guess my brain just doesn’t have that ability! Great job. Can’t wait to see it finished!
Once it’s larger the front will be hinged. I didn’t try to fit that into the tiny model since I’m only at the “can I make it look like the house” phase 
Awwww, cute! Can’t wait to see it as a little library!
I can’t wait to see the big little library! lol
@deirdrebeth that sounds like a beautiful project. Could you please share a picture of your house to compare vs. your model? It is always interesting to contrast original and model.
