10th Ave Angel house and "Fair Set" Repros

[BrianB]

Thank you so much fellas! I really appreciate it!
I haven't attached labels yet, but I will for sure once I complete the set.
Here is a link to the originals on Ted's site..

The top left house is the rainbow/martha stewart house, also it was featured on it's own one of the months, and Antoinette has it in her mantels if you thumb back through the years on her site.

I will take a pic of what I have all together so far once I have the rainbow house done...its almost there.

This is super exciting news too!!! I just talked to Pete this morning and learned he has a friend that has a complete original "Fair" box set in MINT condition. He said it looks like it was never taken out of the box. He is photographing it for his collectors guide, which by the way I have had the pleasure of seeing a few chapters and it is going to be AWESOME!!!!!

Howard, I promised the kiddo she gets her own village this year and she is sooo excited!!! Me too!!!! I'll post pics for sure!

Thanks, funny I missed the page on Papateds.

Pretty cool about the full set.
Great picture moment.
Awesome to be able to document a few more houses.

Good evening everybody! Hope all is well in each of your camps!

I finished up the rainbow/martha stewart house. Pete sent me the silver coconut a few days ago, and let me tell you, it is neat! It is hard to tell by the photos, and especially because the background is a blue color, but it is very shiny!
Things have been slow going for me, hopefully I'll be able to start the next house fairly soon, been pretty busy.
But here are the new pics, I'll try to get a pic of all the ones I have done together so far, soon as well.
Thanks

Great job, Brian!!! It's outstanding!!!

[BrianB]

Thank you once again!!! I can't wait to start on the next three houses, the fence is definitely going to be a new avenue to explore for me. I was hoping to start them by now, but have been crazy busy since the 4th. I can't wait to experiment especially with the one that has the green tint.

Howard, Thank you, it would have been really awesome to see what Ted would have thought! Most all the doors I've used so far in these houses were ones that Ted had sent to me. He had sent me a nice supply to use to recreate them so I could replenish his stock. For some reason he had sent me several of the same one. I have one left, and then I will be using the new ones I made, but I thought it would be good to use the ones I had up first.

Hopefully more soon!!

Good Evening everybody!
I got a new house made from the set and it is ready to be primed and painted. It is number 6, and the first with the raffia type fence. I made the fence with the tutorial found on the forum here. My mom set me up on the machine and I cranked out a couple. Things are slow going for me in the Putzing department right now, but I hope to keep chugging along and get this set of houses done.
Thanks so much!

The fence looks GREAT, Brian. Did your "helper" help?

[BrianB]

Thanks Paul! She didn't help so much with the fence, but she did ride with me to Micheals today to pick up the watercolors Im going to use to tint it to the green color.

I got the new house primed last night, can't wait to start painting!
