summerdaisy06 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Im planning a kit bash to my allison by adding 2 primrose's to it.... My question is: How hard would it be to stack the primrose's.. one on top of the other to make a 2 story wing? By looking at it I think it will be easy enough... build one normally ( top section ) & build the other one without the roof & trim down the sides and set the complete set on top.... sounds easy right? But is it REALLY that easy? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It may be easier to just add a floor below the Primrose. I did that with my Haunted house kit. I'll find the link and post it here in a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallowell Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Sounds like a fun project. Since the Primrose is such a simple shape it will be very easy to stack then. Make sure that the angle of the slope of the roofs of the Primrose and Allison are the same or very close. If the roof angles match the house will look much better. Good luck and post lots of pictures of your progress. We do love our eye candy here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 You could extend both Primroses to 2-story using Tracy's method, and have "wings" on your Allison; just build the second one inside-out to get a flopped version. Actually if you extend the lower story side walls and put a deck over it to butt the front of the Primrose you can use the doors to open onts balconies, if that'll fit your ideas.

Minis On The Edge Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Duhhhh, I read that wrong. I thought you were adding two primroses on top of each other. To add them to the side of the house should be very simple. Just follow the instructions so you'll know which side you want the roof part to be flush against the Allison Sorry bought that. Right now, I am adding two primrose kits side by side to each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerdaisy06 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Oh I am adding them one on top of another to make a 2 story add on.. then attching them to the side of the allison.... Though Im going to check out the links you provided and that should help me out a lot!!!! Goodluck with adding them side by side.. that will look good!!!! Ohhh and good tip about the roofs matching up!!!! I wouldn't have even thought of that!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck princess Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm sorry if I might be stealing your idea, but I love the Primrose and didn't think about bashing it with the Allison/Whitney. Of course I'm not even in the building stages yet, but is it alright if I kind of do the same? I would just use one Primrose on one side of the house. Okay, I really need to go to bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Daisy's reply indicates she's just as sweet & sharing as the majority of miniaturists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerdaisy06 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) hehe... i have to admitt, I've been browsing thru all your lovelys homes... and im " borrowing " a few ideas as well Edited September 24, 2007 by summerdaisy06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 That's one of the many reasons this is a magical place to come - the ideas, inspiration, and help that abounds here is for all to share! Aren't we lucky? Holly, I like your idea about putting in a walk-out balcony. That doesn't quite sound right - but you know what I mean.

havanaholly Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so long as it isn't intellectual property theft, and everything we post on this forum is copywrited, so borrow away! I know exactly what you mean, Rosalind! The Magnolia has two second-floor balconies, and if Daisy bashes the first floors of her addiions under the original Primrose kits she'll have the doorways there on the second floor, ready to lead out onto balconies, or even second-floor porches! If you do decide to go for porches, Daisy, old nylon stockings make great porch screen material! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerdaisy06 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 old nylon stockings make great porch screen material! wow really? I wouldn't have never thought of that... but great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 OK, the nylon screen material idea is courtesy of Melissa Fowler, who used it to screen the porch of her Haunted House (see the Team Haunted House blog, darrell&melissa's entries). I freely borrowed her idea to screen the porch on my Coventry Cottage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
