Hello friends!

Wanted to share with you my latest project. Just finished construction on my first printie. It is a repro of an original that I found good pics of on ebay a while back. I've wanted to do one for some time but never got around to it..... Well now I know why!!!! It took me a month to digitally recreate each dot, line, brick, pillar, window, and door!! Once I got all the graphics reproduced I then made a pattern that syncs up with the graphic skin I created. Those were the easy parts. I got some good advice from Howard about how to apply the graphic to the cardboard...but man is that a bear. It took me 3 tries with a few alterations to the graphics each time. I even had to scrap one whole start. This project has tested every bit of my patience...just hope I'm the wiser for it.
This is the smallest house I think Ive made, it is Pack -O- Fun size...so I guess it's fitting it was one of the hardest.
I still have to add red and white coco to the base and roof, but wanted to share my progress this far. May be a week or another month before I finish, I ran out of white coco and all my coco making supplies are in storage.
I added a pic of some of the failed starts for fun.
Hope everybody is having a wonderful evening!

Wow Brian, that's awesome graphic designing skills! It's so funny, because I found a house similar to that one (red brick!) and I wanted to build it. Lookin' real good my friend...

Brian, what a great house and a great job. It was worth the effort to have made such a great repro!! I hope someday you make another one!!

Thank you so much, Will and Lynn!! I do plan to make another, there is one on Ted's site that I was really hoping to do, instead of this one(it's much larger), but I wanted to start off small for my first printie. Very glad I did! I'm taking a slight break from printies though. I'm having so much fun making houses again, there is another one I'm eyeing....

Brian this is incredible work... just beautiful. I would love to see the process of how those graphics are recreated.

Can't wait to see progress on this building.

Nice work Brian! I love the shade of blue and the brick print. Will look forward to seeing your progress!

Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I actually finished up the house this morning. I was thumbing through my box of coco looking for colors for my next project and found that I had enough white to finish.
It was a great learning project, not sure when I'll get to my next printie, but a small tip for anyone attempting one... printing off enough graphic for overlap is key!!!
On to the next one...

Brian,
I love printies. I wish I knew how to do graphics like that. You did a wonderful job.

Looks great Brian! Looks like your Printie talent meets or exceeds your talent in the other categories of builds! Thx for sharing!
