I finally had a sunny day to get a group shot of my 3 tower house repro.

From Left to right.

The first one was from an Ebay auction. The one in auction had ne center tower.
Howard had layed up a pattern. It can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1690

Between Lynn and I, Peter sent us a picture of another similar house.
I, using Howards plans for the first house, adapted it to have the right center tower and the right 2 front rooms.

This is the house in the middle above.

The third house, is one that Howard got me started on. The house had a strange looking Santa.
I made an attempt at reproducing that.

Much thanks to Howard for the patterns. Lynn gave me some tips.
And a hugh thanks to Peter. His awesome reproduction parts made these possible.

Putz on,

Steve

Great grouping! I bet they'll look great all lit up under your Christmas Tree. Please post pics if you do. Beautiful craftsmanship.
