greetings to all...

here is the "Embassy House"...that's the best name i could come up with for my latest reproduction...don't remember where i got the inspiration photograph...but it's been in my "little houses to build" file for quite a while...i did build one very similar to it years and years ago...but can't find the pictures now...

i'll let the photo and the patterns tell the story...construction photos and pictures of the finished house will be posted later this month...stay tuned...

my very best regards...

howard...

Right, Steve...homemade windows...card stock, your 1/32" wide tape method and gold paint...

On some projects, after drawing a pattern, I've started making the windows first...then adjusting the window opening to fit the finisned window...that's what I did on the embassy house and the big church...

Howard...
