Sherry Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Jen, your windmill is just amazing, one of the coolest, most gorgeous bashes I've ever seen. I am so impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniwendy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I wanted to do a "unit" from one of the old Route 66 style hotels. There was one nearby when I lived in St. Louis called The Coral Court that was so cool looking (and known locally as the "no tell motel"). The fling style wouldn't have fit the Coral exactly, but you could've made something similar that would have been so neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiedrea Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 My sister saw a barn. My hunny saw a spanish mission. In addition to the nursery, I also saw a motorcycle repair shop. My mother saw a butcher shop with a smokehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinee Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I was going to do a barn, but I figured that would be a popular theme so I thought of another idea. It was an observatory! I was going to make the telescope out of the tall containers from the crystal light, and a small telescope. I looked in the gallery today and viola! Selkie did an observatory/planatarium. I was going to make the first floor an office and the second floor a balcony where the telescope came through the roof. Selkie's came out really good, as did everyone elses!! I'm sorry I didn't have the time to enter this year, but I may still build the two kits I have and fulfill my ideas...if time allows.

havanaholly Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 So far I've seen three observatories and three or four windmills and two jukebaxes, and I've fallen into so much eyecandy overload that I'm going to have to wait for Dean's Contest Gallery to really appreciate all the entires and let them sink in!

Intrinsicat Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm going to have to wait for Dean's Contest Gallery to really appreciate all the entires and let them sink in! I just did a count of personal SF galleries and I get 44... which means there are only about 15 we haven't seen yet. Can't wait to see the mystery 15!!! :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin1056 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 wow i thought there would be heaps more than 60 or so entries .....how do we know thats all there is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 LMAO, Jen! I did the same thing.... Linda, I think that Dean and/or Tracy were saying there were around 60 entries including the childrens catagory. I thought maybe there would be more but, this house either bit you or it did'nt :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLyn M. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Stop,stop........I can't stand it!! I like the way your mind works. A Weasley Burrows would be outrageous!!OO especially if it included the garden tent wedding scene.. pretty.Endless,endless,Monica. Do you sleep at all??LOL :hug: PS I'm still looking for the right shop for Weasley's Joke Shop..and I can't get Grimmald St. out of my mind, or the bus and now........sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 LOL Llyn! What about something like this for the joke shop? I think in reality the joke shop had a flatter front but I've always loved this shop: I "liberated" the pic from ebay :hug: Yes, I really like to sleep....at least 8 hrs! See the problem is all this comes to me while I'm awake. Um, can we say "divergent?"LOL Hugs, Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 oooh Llyn, I just found this one too: 2 story shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLyn M. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Wow the two story shop is PERFECT! I might check it out. And please don't tell me you're gonna do a HOGWARTS!!! LOL. :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think if Greenleaf ever rereleases the Taft General Store it would make a great kit for Weasleys' Joke Shop. The linked kit reminds me of the shop in one of Jean Nisbett's books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycathy66 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I really really wanted to do a "stone" mill with "water" wheel--is that what you call it--I'm drawing a blank! I was going to use that builders foam stuff and carve out the channel for the wheel, and set the mill up a little higher....but I just couldn't get the "story" right... the greatest thing about it would have been that I have tons of pea gravel that would have worked great for the exterior and builders foam board in the garage. But when the Fling came, it just turned up it's nose .... I had absolutely no other ideas....except for the saloon...which I really didn't have anything for,lol. the other day I saw a building and thought "that" would have been a good idea....lol, funny thing is, I really can't even remember what it was,lol....the fling made me forget ....it was jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 How about a lag house keep the barrel shape but make that room a five story tower with a large green house on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
