Will...here are some printed brick patterns that Paul has available...you'll have to scroll through them since there are several classifications by season, etc...

there are many, many printed brick pattern graphics on the internet...do a Google search...try "printed bricks", "brick walls", "brick patterns"...i can't remember the exact location for the printed brick pattern i used on the little red brick house though...

my very best regards...Howard

Hi Howard!

I did find several awesome "litho-style" patterns to download. Thanks for the advice sir.

greetings to all...

here's a remake of the twin peak flat top roof house with a different color scheme...you'll find the pattern and a picture of my first version within this topic post...(look on page 1 near the bottom)...these little Pack-O-Fun houses are fast becoming my favorite size...all on about a 3" x 4 1/2" x 3/4" thick base...they're easy to make, store and display...

my very best regards...

Howard...

Great color scheme Howard.

Howard,
I agree with Maria - the colors are perfect for this little house. I am making a house with a flat top gables, but they are kind of arched gables. It's a Halloween house, not nearly as cute as this one is.

Besides the great color scheme, I also agree with you on the size. These little houses are easier to display because you can tuck them in places more readily.

I might have to try these when I wrap up my current project. They might be perfect for my first attempt at a Halloween display village. I have a shelving/storage cubicle in my entryway that I think will be the perfect spot for the village but it's not very big. I could fit more of these on that spot.

I had done a test build on the original POF houses and they seemed so small but seeing all these that you've done I think I'll go back and give them another try. They are more the size of tree ornaments and I was thinking about giving them as my Christmas cards this year.

Thank you so much Howard for sharing all your tips, techniques and patterns.

Mary...

Some of the newer ones I’ve built may be slightly larger than a few of the original ones...but all of them blend well together...the main thing is that I’ve stayed with a 3” x 4” x 3/4” base...
