Beautiful Howard. I love your color choices and the glow from within through those windows is lovely.

It turned out beautiful Howard. The colors are great and the light through the windows is so welcoming.

I might be a bit slow. But after all of your posts to this thread.

Do all your pack-o-fun houses all have a 3x4 1/2 base.

greetings to all...

here's another remake of a previous project that i've adapted to the small "pack-o-fun" size house...it's still in the raw cardboard state in the picture but will be in the paint shop soon...i'll post a picture of the finished house later...

two PDFs for the pattern sheets are also available below...note...as with many houses with multiple peaks and roof details...i make the roof pieces oversize...then trim and cut to fit...i usually never get it right the first time...

my very best regards...
