Tabs and slots can be trickier. It's also very wise to make this in more than one section. I tried moving a beast of a house once, and the only thing that made it better was it came apart. :D I love what you do...so creative and such clean work. Well done!otterinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006448737136764504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-91352773751463287072018-05-13T17:56:02.720-04:002018-05-13T17:56:02.720-04:00Wow!

I think I first need to really figure out the layout of all the floors first but then I might do something along those lines. Right now I'm thinking I'm going to make the entry wider by 1 inch, which changes a lot of the design!Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-34986106081946125862018-05-13T14:48:14.004-04:002018-05-13T14:48:14.004-04:00 Thanks :) Wish you were here to see it in person!...

I agree with your idea to build it in sections (My Castle is three sections) because it makes moving and working on it so much easier! Another idea I have been using with my Castle is to decorate from the bottom up... it is so much easier to access the room before the ceiling is in place! (I am still part way through the ceilings on several of the rooms because I get fancy with the painting and that has slowed the over-all construction). But clearly, you have a plan and are making great progress!

My 1:1 house right now has the same arches as the dollhouse and the front door is shorter... so that's what I went with. The outside of the dollhouse will have an extra overhang too that makes it seem bigger on the exterior. So we'll see. I can always change it!

I also love the way you have planned the separation of the house halves - it makes sense, and the added benefit of the double thick walls also adds to the grand feel. <br />Have you thought about duplicating the height of them for the front doors? That may be stunning, as well.<br />I can't wait to see the second floor layout and the next steps in the process. What a treat this is to see your vision come to life!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-42204685715433136922018-05-07T07:11:58.222-04:002018-05-07T07:11:58.222-04:00Wow, this house is going to be gorgeous!Wow, this house is going to be gorgeous!Alexandra Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452451071692343746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-82859912163043234312018-05-07T05:57:11.961-04:002018-05-07T05:57:11.961-04:00Looks fabulous, I am so impressed!
