dagmar Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hello, everyone. I'm in the process of refurbishing a Hofco house I built 20 years ago, which then had to be religated to the basement. I've also done the Garfield, a couple of Arthurs, two Celerity houses and General stores for my daughters, a firehouse for my son, a greenhouse, and a small Victorian chapel. Never had room here to display these, so the girls have taken theirs. But, we're building a house, and I hope to have one 'guest' room reserved for the houses. I read with interest about the building of the Corona travel trailer. I've ordered one, and have decided to make a haunted theme, "Have spells, will travel," using the store window, a witch I just acquired, and some other assorted 'spirits' that are in the planning stage. All my early projects were too serious. Time for something lighthearted. I'm really looking forward to pictures of others' progress with the trailers dagmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Welcome Dagmar! Do you have pictures of your Hofco house? They had some really nice ones in production. A haunted trailer sounds cool also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Welcome, dying to see photos. Please post when you can. It sounds like you've had a lot of experience (and fun) building dollhouses. They can be addicting. I think having a spare room to set up scenes would be marvelous. Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagmar Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I just added some pictures of the individual rooms. The house has turned out to be "likeclitic," things I've made from scratch or kits, and things I like that I've bought. The story behind what's there and why has developed as items have been added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
