update...8/19/2018...

greetings to all...

here's another remake but with some detail and color changes...here's a link to the pattern...

https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1210

just a quick reminder...if you use different windows you'll have to adjust the openings shown on the pattern to fit the particular window you use...

my very best regards...

howard...

update...9-2-2018...

greetings to all...

nothing really special about this little house...it's more of a remake from a project from years back...but revised to fit a 3" x 4 1/2" x 3/4" thick base...see the PDF file for a free pattern...

my very best regards...

Howard...

update...9-5-2018...

greetings to all...

here's a remake of the "brown house" from the original "pack-o-fun house" patterns from the 1968 magazine...i did change the colors a little and scaled up the patterns for the major pieces...see the PDF below...

brown paint with glitter?...not a traditional color choice to be sure...but it does look much better in person...especially next to a lighter color house...it's actually a nice contrast...when i post the "family portrait", you'll see what i mean...

i think i've made enough of these small size houses for a while...i just counted 16 of them...more than enough for a village on our buffet this year... :lol:

now it's time to look for a challenging house subject or some new "flatties"...

my very best regards...

howard...

update...11-01-2018...

greetings to all...

thought i'd squeeze in one more little house in 2018...this was originally going to be a "Pack-O-Fun" size train station but decided just to make it a house...patterns and updates will follow...

i did find an inspiration piece for the station i want to build...but that will probably be a project for early 2019...

howard...

update...11-01-2018...

the patterns for the major parts of the house are in the PDF below...it's designed to fit on a 3" x 4 1/2" x 3/4" thick base...the fence sections are 3/4" tall...complete base and fence details have been posted in several of the previous "Pack-O-Fun" house topics...

my very best regards...

howard...
