You may have posted in the past. But how many of the "Pack-o-Fun" houses have you made to date.You many have to start calling it a City not a town, with all the dwellings now.

update...06-27-2018...
time for a church for my "pack-o-fun" size village...see the pattern sheets below in the two PDFs...
i'll be hand cutting the window mullions from card stock...so if you plan on building and using die-cut or printed windows...you will have to adjust the window openings to fit...
the colors probably be a grey body and tower, red roof and steeple plus a green fence...progress pictures will be posted later...

Hi Howard, it's nice to see a church, and i like the sounds of a gray church.
Did you do something different for the sides of the base?

Like the church, elegant windows, can't wait to see it painted and lighted. When I first read your post and you said you were painting it gray the first image that popped to mind was a Blue roof. Will have to put that on my list.

Hello...I went with red since I’m trying not to repeat house and roof colors on the POF houses I’m building...the goal is to get as much variety as possible...

Lynn...I just wrapped the base with ordinary brown paper bag...what you see are the “gift wrap” fold lines...it’s still the simple cardboard base I always make...

Hand cut windows. That kills me. The consistency in your cutting is very impressive. These are going to be great windows in that church. Great design.
