Thanks Steve! Yep I did the snowman. I used white sculpey and rolled two balls, I bake the figures in my toaster oven for 15 minutes. They scortch quite a bit so I had to apply about 3 layers of white acrylic, but I think it makes it look closer to the original. I held the different parts up to my original to make sure I was close. I was going to make a mold of my original, but I forgot to do it before I glued him back on the base. Atleast snowmen are easy to reproduce! :)

Dyn-0h-MITE!
Thanks for sharing. If you and Howard and Lee and the rest of our builders weren't showing us all the "in process" photos, I wouldn't believe you all were getting this much great stuff done all by yourselves.

Thanks Paul!! I'm just starting my 16th repro house, decided to do another big one. I know... I love all the "in process" photos, Im so glad everybody posts them and hope ya'll continue to do so!!! Getting to see everybody's work is such a huge part of the fun, especially during the big part of the year when all my houses are boxed away.
