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

Post by Clinton »

Here's kind of a rendition of Brian's inspired "Printie" house design, the recent "Chimney house" Steve posted all kind of moshed up together. I call it my "Stucco & Stone" house. Or "Stuccone".. lol.. It's the size of a "Pack-0-Fun" house. I'll see if I can upload it's template later. BTW, I really made this little guy a "Fuzzy" one! I also used what I call my "premiere sno-conut" (bigger shreds & more fuller) and also used some very small corrugated cardboard for the "Spanish tile" look of the L.A., Ca. houses of the 1930's. Enjoy my friends!... Thanks to Brian & Steve for your inspiration!... :mrgreen:

Cool amalgamation Will!! You turned it into a really cool and unique house! I love the greens you used for the base and accents...green is my favorite color. ;) Your snow white coco looks perfect! :)

Thanks so much for the compliments Brian. It was really a blast to put those 2 totally different elements together like that. Oh yeah, that's my "premium stash" of my home-brewed sno-conut my friend! I like the bigger, fluffier stuff. Well, here's the finale on this house. I added the "frowning snowman" and the luffa berry top tree for good measure. :mrgreen:

Very cool Will. I particularly like the quoined corners of the building and the way you layered the roof. Oh yeah - the colors rock too!!!

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 roof. What a delight.

Thanks John & Kathi! I thought of the roof tiling because of an old early 30's apartment building my Uncle used to live in when I was a kid. I'll have to admit, it DID accentuate it a bit didn't it? ;) Well, onto the next project! Good day to you all...
