Howard,

I'm finally getting around to trying out some of the flattie patterns you've shared. Thank you for them, I've been having a lot of fun.

Blessings,
Steven

Very nice Steven. Cool to see others recreate the flatties from Howard's patterns (and very generous of Howard to share). Thanks for posting!

John

All smiles here!... :D :D :D ...So good to see the patterns being used!...I have a few more in the works, too!...
Right now I'm looking into a nativity setting...Starting with the Holy Family...Then adding an additional figure each month...
My very best regards...

That's awesome. I was just looking at an old Heinrichsen set online and thinking it would be really cool to do them in cardboard.

Thank you Paul. I meant to get decent photos of all the ones we made before I stashed them away. I think I did post some photos of the village under the tree in here somewhere though.
