Re: Interesting house

OK, checking out Barb's house, it is the earlier version of the one in the BairClan set from Ted's /Howard's photo. Check out the rectangular framed openings in Barb's version and compare them to the BairClan example. The BairClan house has a flat-arched left side window and full arched windows ...

Re: Interesting house

THOSE ARE THE INTERESTING VERY EARLY WINDOWS that I was trying to find in other houses!
It seems that they are only in the big lakkies, and probably were only done for one year. Very rare!
I am sure Barb experienced this, but these particular very early, and BIG, lakkies have SLIGHTLY larger window ...

Re: 2017 Putz Village: Cars & Leftovers

Maria C included a repeat link to Pat's 2017 putz in her blog today, so I got to revisit Pat's putz (FAB-U-LUCIOUS!).
The lakkie that Barb fixed for Pat has a twin in the BairClan set. While recovering from knee surgery, I rehabbed both my knee and the BairClan set. For my version of that lakkie ...

Re: Will's house of "Stucco & Stone"...

Great job, Will!
Here in Tucson there is one house remaining on one of our busy main drags that has the original green clay tile roof. I have salivated over that material forever. The house is original from around 1925, and the tiles are not painted, they are actually the green you captured for your ...

Re: Any history on these

Yes, Lynn is correct.
You see a similar set of houses that are all glitter, but in dark colors (blue, magenta /red, green, silver) and they came in a box of 6. Similar size to these.

Re: SEE THIS AMAZING JAPAN PUTZ HOUSE PHOTO NOW!

You are exactly right, Howard.
I have this "urban building" and several others. I really like the arched entry on this bldg and could imagine an entry like that with balcony above for the skyscraper. I am thinking that the eventual pattern for the flat-top skyscraper should provide for the building ...

Re: My "Princess Putz" cottage...

So darling! I too love the window boxes, but my favorite part is the chimney. The code enforcers would give you a big A+ because it is at least 2' taller than the roof ridge. I also love the colors and the gold window trim. Your mom will love it!
