http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/papateds/Hom2003.html

my version will be similar...not an exact copy...the pix below is of the house body...all cut out and ready to assemble...

i'm going to follow the same color scheme...this will also be my first "green spot" house...

my very best regards...howard...

Brian...

Hope you (and others) will make this house. Feel free to use the pattern. The little squares are 1/4" x 1/4". It should be pretty easy to get the dimensions off the first picture. I wish now I had made my version larger. I'm going to really have to sift my homemade coconut to get pieces that won't hide the railing and step details. I will be using green foil for the chimney as soon as I can find some.

My very best regards...

Howard

good afternoon...

ready for primer and color...blue tape keeps the finish off the cardboard and makes for a better glue job at final assembly...

base measures 4 1/2 " x 3 1/4" x 5/8"...posts are 3/4" tall x 1/4" diameter...fence is 5/8" high...

hope to have finished in a couple of days...

my very best regards...howard...
