tcmorrison Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Love the castle idea. And the window upgrades, more affordable please. Would love to see more 1/2 scale. Heck, I love all the ideas. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamom Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 A Willowcrest, pretty please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 YES - proper fitting windows and door upgrades for all the Greenleaf/Corona houses - PLEASE ... Oh, wow, that castle idea is perfect. I want it to have stone effects and many secret winding staircases and secret rooms - LOTS of rooms, like maybe 20 or 30, and lots of turetts (sp?). Maybe have it be the biggest - hugest - creation ever made !!! (and also maybe a 1/2 scale for those short on space.) Proper fitting building components of all types - like 1/8 fitting chanel molding, etc for Greenleaf/Corona style houses too. Oh and bring back ALL the houses ever created by Greenleaf/Corona. Hope someone can be hired to develop these ideas. Thanks for listening Dean and all the other administration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Make me a church Greenleaf!! I don't want to by an RGT, for my city, BUT I have my heart set on filling one with people, and putting a real bell in the steeple! PLEASE!!!

PATBIDLACK Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Now get a grip people. Greenleaf cant do it all at once. They need to start slowly. Too many items means lower profits. Lower profits mean close business. They can start with the lighthouse and then offer a small castle with addition kits. Then you can make as large a castle as you wish.

keinanna Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I would definetely like to see some castles as well and more styles of houses some more modren ones but also bring back the ones that are no longer available. The Beaumont would be one i would buy for sure! I agree with extra components as well that would be great. Furniture would also be good stuff that is a bit nicer than the corona concepts stuff maybe with working doors and have a few different styles to work with. Victorian is great but some modren things would be good too. I pretty much agree with everything that has already been said but especially want pre-shingled roofs that would be excellent as i hate hate hate doing the shingling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abunai Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Even though I don't have the space in my tiny 650 sq foot apartment for lots of houses, if the willowcrest came back I would buy it today! I adore that little house... I also would like to see things like lattice work and other texture adding items in the accessories. I want to put a lattice under my BH porch but I think I am going to have to make it myself because I can't find one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Definitely more halfscale houses. Or even better 1/144" scale models. I adore the micro mini Garfield and Beacon Hill. A build-on castle would be awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntDee Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Oh more half scale houses would be just great. An Adobe South Western style home please, in half scale. Better hinges for doors. Trying to put those little nails in is impossible. Even after the hinge has been glued in place. Windows that open. Light switches for the walls (need not work) that are realistic looking. If kits can't be made why not have plans of different homes for sale..(a 1/2 scale adobe house would be great), after buying the plans from Greenleaf we could buy the accessories from them. This could be a whole new sales venue for Greenleaf. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 As this is a fantasy wish list, I have to say that I love all the suggestions! I've always wanted to do a Gypsy wagon/caravan - that would be perfect. I also have a dream of a 1:12 castle - but with space and funding restrictions, it would be wonderful if Greenleaf could do an add-on kit with pieces you can buy when you can afford them. Start with a small, basic castle structure that works alone, and offer additional turrets and extra rooms, drawbridge, etc. that one can ask Santa for! The Willowcrest and Brimble's Mercantile - love them both. Upgraded doors and windows that fit the 1/8" wood - great suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 A 1:12 scale Fairfield for sure! And another adorable cozy cottage like the glencroft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellebelle Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The Willowcrest and Brimbles first, as I see those mentioned more often in so many different threads, a Craftsman Bungalow, a mid-century ranch, and I love the idea of a castle than can be added onto and expanded. The window and door upgrades would be wonderful also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I can offer chrome on those worn out dies to cut out new brimbles and willowcrests. As long as I get first dibs on a castle..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House fan Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I would love a log cabin with real logs so inside is log too and not just smooth wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I would love the Rosedale to come back. I'm thinking of a way to have a an adobe house. What you'd do is make a square house, like a Colonial. Then you have a second set of walls that are placed inside the first set of walls - maybe with an inch or so of space between the two walls. The windows could be boxed and the walls could have notches so the windows could be set in place. Then you just use strips of wood on the outside to close off the space so it isn't seen. This would give a thick wall for a realistic adobe house without all the added extra weight. A 50's house would be awesome. So would a California Craftsman. Zowie! I haven't tried this yet, but if you get soft square basswood at a craft store and hit it (gently) with a hammer to make marks on it, you can make a small square log cabin. The bass wood should even be soft enough to cut notches out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I would also LOOOOVE to see the Rosedale come back, also the Willowcrest and a 1/12 Fairfield. All of which are on my wishlist for Santa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseymini Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 For the logs in a log cabin just go to the lumber yard and buy screen door molding. It is rectangular with two rounded edges on one of the long sides. In fact, a friend of mine is building a log cabin kit that she needed extra logs for on the inside.....She bought the screen door molding that I suggested and couldn't tell the difference from the logs that came with the kit. I think that is what they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I wish we could have an insiders line on what was coming in the future. Think anyone there would take bribes? Or maybe we should resurrect the invasion thread and go look for ourselves. Heehee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nechee Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I am loving the castle idea. Even if it was an add a room thing, I still love the castle idea. I would make sure I had money to buy one like that. Also I would like to see the Beacon Hill in Half scale. I think the 1/12, the QS and the 1/144 scale would be great together. I would also like to see a street of stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
