KathieB Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 That makes me VERY curious....... ;) As well it should ... <BIG GRIN> Just realized I need to make yet another doll, which will bring this mini-cast-of-thousands up to 9 dolls. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Steve, I just went and looked at your photos of your work. Wow!! Really impressive, I love the deli and saloon. I love everything but those are my favorites. Great job. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_in_PA Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks Kat.....Soon I hope to get a decent photo gallery up so I can show how I make them. I think I will wait so I can post pics of my trailer. As long as everyone promises not to laugh at it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Lol, only if we're supposed to laugh. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anette Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm currently working on the Travel Trailer and I find it to be a little more difficult than the Primrose I last built. I've been lazy to actually start putting it together so I've only been painting the exterior of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenannediva Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 BTW, en route to Houston, we stopped at "Through the Keyhole", a really nice dollhouse shop in Dallas. They had just completed an in-shop contest with the travel trailer. I saw some photos and one outstanding trailer still in the shop that had been turned into a circus wagon on steroids that had been taken over by gypsies. It was awesome! The owner said the man was making it for a New Orleans show, but she thought the show has been cancelled or postponed or something. Does anyone know about a New Orleans miniature show? http://www.through-the-keyhole.com/contest.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 http://www.through-the-keyhole.com/contest.html We got to see photos of more of the contest entries while we were at Through the Keyhole in Dallas. There were some pretty amazing entries. I wish there were more of them on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The Travel Trailer is nearing completion! We've been working on this puppy since the beginning of October. The tow vehicle and driver are complete. All of the contruction and wiring is complete. Today I put what are nearly the finishing touches on the paint & other decoration. (Just a couple of things that need to dry before I can add the final touches.) Until the day before yesterday, it was all build, build, build ... and then coat the whole thing with gesso. It was sooooooo neat watching it come to life with the color and added materials! So, tomorrow, we can start on the scenery. With any luck at all, it won't take more than a day or two.

Steve_in_PA Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Kathie...you are a tease! It's like being a little kid waiting for Christmas morning, waiting to see everyone's trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Here's a little more tease ... the trailer and tow vehicle are now finished (except for whatever great thought hits me in the dead of night). We're working on the setting. Last night my quest to get some cobblestones color-copied at Wal-Mart was stymied by the snow, but the work goes on.

CJEP Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It looks great, Donna!! It reminds me of my family's trip. We have some similar ideas on the inside, but I'm not entering the contest. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Donna, I hope you're thinking of doing a tutorial for that trailer awning. It's brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Obsession Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Donna, I hope you're thinking of doing a tutorial for that trailer awning. It's brilliant! AUHHH It was nothing special,some sewing and dowels and hot glue. I would like to come up with a way to weigh it down a bit so it doesn't Curl up there where it attaches to the trailer side. The weight needs to be on the underside of the scalloped valance or something...any ideas???? Thanks for all the compliments, I think I will still be adding more to it for a while. I am having an annual Brunch next Saturday( For my SCOTTIE People), and I got many who want to see it, so even though it won't be winter themed...it will be my buffet table centerpiece .

Can't wait to see what you've created. -Susanne Since adding doll #9, I've had to create the illusion of about 20 more people ... and right now I'm wondering where I can get my hands on an old jumper cable. (Any ideas?) This has certainly been an adventure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
