Thank you for the very kind words regarding the castle and tunnel…yes, it was a large project…and it took a long time…but I broke it down into a series of small steps...just focusing on one thing at a time…

By the way…to all you who may be new to the hobby…and may have not had a chance look at all the resources that are available…I strongly recommend you go to this link…

When I transitioned from making model railroad structures into making little houses, I relied heavily on the information that Tom provided…I’ll always be indebted to Tom for the things I learned from him…

My very best regards to all...

Howard,

Inquiring minds want to know! Now that you have built an amazing and varied collection of houses, castles, churches, etc., what are you doing with them? Are you still setting up a Christmas display? You must be running out of real estate!! Do you plan to set up something featuring all of your creations? I know that I would love to see it and I bet your other fans would too!

Barb

By the way, one of those little fuzzy santas could be yours.... pm me!

Barb...about my collection...yes...it keeps multiplying!...but will never approach the boxes full you have...

we will set up a "dolly village" on the buffet...i'm working on a topic post for the forum as we speak...but may be a few more days before i can start the topic...

probably have a couple of more smaller displays as well...in addition to our nativity...

note...email sent regarding fuzzy Santa...

my very best regards...
