doogster Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think Marg got one of those last week, not here yet, also off Ebay. You can get some really neat stuff from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Congratulations, Mary! How cool is that! Looking forward to pictures of the building process and how you'll interpret this neat house! I think Marg got one of those last week Andrew, it might more interesting to try to figure which kits she doesn't have! :lol: Y'all's house must be humongous!

LPCullen Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Andrew, it might more interesting to try to figure which kits she doesn't have! :lol: Y'all's house must be humongous! At least it might be quicker to figure out which kits she doesn't have. I think she's trying to catch up with Tracy, LOL! Congratulations on the Brookwood Mary!

wenlaine Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Congratulations on your new house, ouchouch. Don't get sidetracked from finishing your BH though. I can't wait to see that one finished. Marg, just how many houses have you now? You must make a list to show us. I have a feeling you've topped both Linda and Tracy. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hmmm, I got a peek at some of Tracy's stash last year... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Congratulations! I was watching the bidding on that house. Looks like you got a pretty good deal. Can't wait to see what you do with it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 We won one of those a few years ago. It has not been started yet. We plan on making it ultra modern. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I WON!!! AND WOW WHAT A GREAT PRICE! Congratulations! It's a really neat looking house, i've had some ideas already for mine! I'll build it someday :angry: I can't wait to see what you do with yours! I think i may go 80's look and may extend the decking outward more. Andrew, it might more interesting to try to figure which kits she doesn't have! Y'all's house must be humongous! Ha! very funny! :lol: We do have quite a few now i must admit. Our house isn't overly large, just have been able to find places to stash the kits. I have to say that the family room is getting a bit crowded tho....not sure where they will all go after they are completed.....i won't be able to part with any of them tho. They are like family now :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchouch Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Congratulations on your new house, ouchouch. Don't get sidetracked from finishing your BH though. I can't wait to see that one finished. Wendy I want to finish my BH so badly. Right now, I'm stuck on what colors to paint on the outside. I still have the Harrison to build, but most likely I'll build the Brookwood before the Harrison. I don't have enough room to be building two house at a time. Ha How the hell do you make multiple quotes in one post??? Congratulations! It's a really neat looking house, i've had some ideas already for mine! I'll build it someday :lol: I can't wait to see what you do with yours! I think i may go 80's look and may extend the decking outward more. That 80's look sounds very cool. Make sure you take photos! How much did you buy yours? Does anyone know how much this house was going for when it was still being sold? Oh wow. I multi quoted and I didn't even know. Does it do that automatically?

You did it!!!!!!!! Just answer more than one question and it does it automatically! A cool new feature!!!! I got my Brookwood for $51.00, i had wanted this house for about a couple of months and didn't try for any of the auctions until last week. They go between 50 and 90 dollars usually from what i've seen and come up fairly frequently, like every couple of weeks. :lol: I don't know how much they retailed for when they were being manufactured tho. I can't believe i just typed out my whole list of kits and then lost my internet connection and had to sign back on. I'll attempt to type it again tomorrow. I just got home from work. time for dinner! Can't wait to see your BH and your color choice! Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 For numbers, I think the Brookwood puts us right at 40. Hmmm, interesting, the age I become on Saturday. I do, however, think there's a need for a Seaside Villa in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 . I do, however, think there's a need for a Seaside Villa in there. Not to worry, i'll end up buying it i'm very sure! :angry: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I want a Grandville and I think Ultra Contemporary would be WONDERFUL for the Brookwood. Hobby Lobby has a lot of scrap book paper that would be perfect for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Marg, just how many houses have you now? You must make a list to show us. I have a feeling you've topped both Linda and Tracy. Wendy Hi Wendy, I don't think i'd ever top those two, they have a HUGE collection! Well thru our combined kits we now have 40. A couple are just simple kits, but i thought they should be included.

Josi Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Wow Marg, that is so cool! There are some small houses and some very large houses in your collection. You will be busy for a long time to come. And I am so jealous. My hubby keeps asking me where I am going to put them all, and I only have five kits in the queue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 You will be busy for a long time to come. Ain't that the truth!!!! I know this will be a lifelong hobby so i don't feel guilty about having the various kits. Places to put the finished houses will be a problem tho....i'll think about it one house at a time. ;) Does your husband work on mini's as well? What are his hobbies? I also think there can be room for "just one more".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well you have a list that makes even ME envious LOL. Pretty Impressive! Now, which one screams the loudest to be built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, the Montclair is on backorder, not that I'm getting to it anytime soon anyway. So that'll be another 5 boxes to find room for. As for the size of our house, not large, but then there's just Marg, myself and the 5 kids (cats). And the largest room in the house, the family room, is essentially a devote dollshouse building room. There are 3 of those 6' long resin tables in there, a fourth has the nearly finished Federal on it in the craft room, a spare bedroom. Once we're at the stage we are going to HAVE to get a bigger house, and devote one room for displaying the houses and models. Right now the Betty is anchored into a box in the closet. Having a fragile model that took about 600 hours to make at the mercy of the 5 Amigos doesn't appeal. It'd be nice to put it on display at some point though. I really should get a few in progress shots of the Garf, the foundation's done, getting on the walls, doing a few mods to ease the buildup. Not that I'm going to post any in progress shot mind you. I don't do that, at least not until the thing is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 All I can say is "WOW"!!!! I'm so envious! I'm really looking forward to seeing your Grosvenor Hall when it's done, it's a beauty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Now, which one screams the loudest to be built? The Foxhall has been yelling at me and was really quite put out that i started the Grosvenor first....partly cuz i promised the Foxhall it would be first.... ....so for the big kits, it's the foxhall then the beacon hill, then probably the marquam hill. ;) I'm really looking forward to seeing your Grosvenor Hall when it's done, it's a beauty!! I can't wait to get my ideas out of my head and off paper and into the house! It's such a neat house! I am still amazed at the sheer size of it everytime i look at it. i'll take a picture with it when it's completed to give an idea of it's true size. It has such a stunning look, can't wait until it all comes together! The new addition to the collection and # 41 is a Duracraft HO scale village. Can't wait to work on that one!! Those houses and other building should be easy to find space for around the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 STILL waiting on my Brookwood. I really hope it arrives tomorrow. After I paid for my auction, the seller asked for additional money because postage was higher than she thought (that didn't make me happy, a person should have all of those details worked out before they list their item on ebay....or have a shipping calculator set up)...then last week I asked her when it was sent and she stated that it was sent on the day she emailed me for more money....and that she would get right back to me with a tracking number....still haven't heard from her. I am trying to be patient and i hope that she really and truly sent the item. If i don't receive it by tomorrow i'll contact her again. This is making me nervous. OuchOuch, have you received your brookwood yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
