10th Ave Angel house and "Fair Set" Repros

Thanks Steve and Maria. I got picked on a bit growing up, but I have always loved our last name. For the most part if you ever run into a Bloodgood we are all related in some fashion, and our name can be traced back to a sea captain that changed his name when he arrived in America.
Maria, I have been wanting to start Game of Thrones, I've heard it's really good. My wife and I love series like that! We are finishing up a few others that we started first but it's on our list!

RE: Game of Thrones--will be back in 14 months but if you can, you can see many of the episodes on youtube; it is an incredible series, well written, crisp, excellent characters, actors etc.

Addictive.

Thanks Maria, I will check out youtube! I think one of my buddies might have some seasons burned on a disc too, so I'll have to see if I can get it from him as well.

Still haven't got a whole lot accompilshed on the fair set, I did start the Apartment building from the set though, and I'll get some pics of it up soon. In the meantime I ran out of loofah trees, so I made a new batch up with some help.

I also was fresh out of rubber gloves so my right hand is still a little greenish today....

I love shaping the trees when they dry. It's one of my favorite parts of a build and it's kinda like pruning Bonzai only much faster

and I also love the fact that each one is a little different like real trees.

Good afternoon to everyone!

I cranked out another house over the last couple days. I don't have the coco to finish the rainbow/martha stewart house yet, so I went onto the Apartment building house in the meanwhile. I should have it finished in the next week or so.

Here are the pics start to finish of the Apartment building..

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Howard, she did find it very amusing that I had green fingers

, she helped put the little trays underneath when they were dripping with paint. She loves the houses and looks at them everyday, I can't wait to set a village up for her this year!

I started the next house. This one makes house #5! After I finish the Rainbow/Martha Stewart house and this one, the last three all have the raffia type fences. Hopefully I can get my sewing machine to work with the material!
