Default Re-do of ~ 60 year old clay bird houses.

Hi all,

I decided to get these finished and hung while glue dries, etc. on models. We had these
back in the late 50's - early '60s. This is the first refinish as far as I know. After soaking
in dish detergent/water for 24 hrs., I wire brushed the lichen and assorted crud off.

Rustoleum auto primer and colors. The stars were masked by cutting them out of strips
of low tack 3M blue tape over waxed paper using a Top Flite template.

Bob

Those look great for their age , nice job on the painting. I wonder what type of bird will choose the Patriotic house ?

One of the things I miss about living in Washington state was my yard of bird houses and feeders.
