If we want Brian (or most of the other folks on this list) to set up all the houses he (they) have made at the same time, we're going to need to take up a collection to get him a bigger house.

WOW Brian, these are some amazing pieces! Did you build all of these? You told me to look up some of your cocos and I am to say the least highly impressed! Do you use RIT dye to get those colors like that? I just love those reds and dark blues! Great job my friend... :)

Hi Will, thank you so much!! I did build them all, I went on a building spree a year or so ago. :) Hopefully Ill get back to it one of these days. I made most of the coco on them myself, a few of the houses on the back left of the pic have Pete's coco too, as I bought from him while I was figuring out how to make it for myself. Not sure what he uses for dye. Most all the colors I used are Rit dye, I did mix a few myself, Rit has a website that tells you how to mix certain amounts of dyes to achieve a new color. Silver and white are pretty much the only colors that aren't Rit...and silver is a little tricky to make if I remember.
Cheers
