Thank you so much Tom!! I'm still thrilled it went to such an awesome home!! I still have plans to return to the hobby as a builder one day. My screen printing business has gotten all of my free time, and we keep growing, currently looking for a new home with a large shop on the property.

Will, here's a link to an article Tom wrote with pictures he took of the house. I was very honored that he used it to pay tribute to PapaTed who was a friend of mine as well!! http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... f=15&t=467

Thanks Brian, it was AWESOME!!! Hey, I would like to hit you up on some of those "stickers" (Made by Brian B.) you printed. How much for a hundred of them? I love that personal touch!

Hello All - I acquired this kit from Pete several months ago and am finally getting around to it. The pattern is easy to use and takes alot of the guess work out of calculating dimensions - especially on this beast!!! The trickiest part for me so far has been working on color and texture. Been trying to make my own coco, not having too much luck but persevering! Here is the work-in-process. Will post more as I make progress.

It's looking GREAT!!! Cant wait to see your finished product!! Thanks for sharing!!

Getting Closer! Next challenge is going to be to try to create the Blue coco for the base. Have never made coco before and have been experimenting. Wish me Luck!

Sorry John... the orange is Coconut. I should have said something. You can still add it over that coating. Pete

Finally finished it!!! Had lots of fun along the way figuring out the colors and textures and trying my hand at making coconut. The plans are from Pete and trust me, this would have been a very tough one to blue print without them (although Brian did manage to do it with his expertise!).

Also, the Santa figurine is also from Pete (painted by my wife). Finally, Will sent me some Coco to try so Thx Will!

John

Looks WONDERFUL John! I'm glad I could help with the coconut. The orange, red, and white turned out good for ya!
