The PINKening has begun! :) I just finished making that last bit of coco for this house. Its a BIG house, and I have a feeling it is going to take quite a bit.
Still don't know if it is my favorite color, Im a red head, so Green and I get along real good! :)
Can't wait to share with everybody!

Thanks Howard, hoping to have the house done soon, but then I got to paint up the figures.

This one is definitely taking a bit longer, been working on some other projects alongside this one too..... ;)

I wanted Loralye to help me with the painting, so I set up a station at our Ice Cream table and had her paint the broad part of the base before I flocked it with the coconut. My wife snuck up on us with her camera, so I thought I'd share. :) Pay no attention to the goofy guy at the end...

Good evening to all!
-Brian

Hi Brian ...

I just found The Loralye House, read the posts and came upon the latest ones. This is a fabulous legacy for your daughter,
and I cannot wait to see the Big Reveal! And I want to see a picture of Loralye's face when she sees it! (What are you
going to do next year, Dad?)

Hello, and THANK YOU!! :)

I'm getting very close to wrapping this one up. Just working on the figures, they may still take a couple more days, we have had family visiting the last week, so not as much putzing time.
The house isn't going to be so much a surprise as I have been fairly well supervised during the making of the project. I was asked today if I could make a Mrs. Claus for the house to accompany Santa, so that may be a future project after I finish the original plans. Im a little worried the front lawn start to look a little crowded.
Pat, I have NO idea what she is going to ask for next... But I have had a great time making this house with her, so I'm sure we'll be collaborating again! :)

Good Saturday!!

Finished up my daughters house, at least for now.....

She was pretty happy that it was done, and seemed to really like everything, but I was instructed that the cat needed to be pink too. I was trying to make it look like Tom's original, however I fell a little short because the paint which I thought was more orangish turned out to be more brown. I'm going to use a drybrush technique on the kitty next time instead of the airbrush as well. So I haven't glue the kitty down, but Im going to move on to another project for a bit, and revisit it later.
Now I have to find a spot for it in her room...
