Holly Sue Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am not sure if this post is allowed here but I was just wondering if there was anyone around here locally that could help me or show me any tricks to building my Garfield. I am from Appleton, Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Too bad you're so far from Tracy (Minis on the Edge)! There are a lot of blogs in the blog section by members who have built o are building the Garfield. I wish I had the room to build and display such a behemoth, although I really like the Pierce and th Beaumont of all the large Greenleaf kits.

Holly Sue Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am just in awe by all the beautiful dollhouses on this site. I think I have jotted down five + pages full of tips and tricks that I have found. With the Garfield being my first house I want to do it right the first time!

havanaholly Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Take your time and don't get hung up on "perfection". Mistakes can be fixed or else bashed into unique and beautiful features so don't paralyze yourself with wanting perfection; ain't no such thing. I strive for realism (within reason) and real life isn't perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Sue Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 You are absolutely right I will definitely keep that in mind when I start building it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
