So here's the latest house I've been working on.

It's based on the HOM on Papa Ted's from 2003.

It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it.

Pete's Coco real help pull it together.

Great job Will. It's perfect! The tilt to the chimney is that way on all of the originals. If that's what you were worried about? I ads a touch authenticity to the piece. I think I forgot to memtion one thing... the Japanese crumples the foil before they put it on. It gives a nice little texture. Keep up the wonderful work.
