Ok im a mini gear head and love anything miniature and on 4 wheels!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have a passion for creating miniature houses in scale from 1/2"-1' up to what ever scale you want? I build using scrap wood cut down do scale. the houses are built as if they are the real thing.rafters,wall studs, windows and doors to scale -w- the detail you want on the interior! it can be anything from a conversation piece on a table, a half house for your fire place mantle,a doll house for your child to a actual play house for the kids in the back yard! jim 1sk9ee6te3r@gmail.com or jimm958@yahoo.com

You should post some pics of your work. Sounds interesting to me. My wife n I stopped to get a tire fixxed at a local small tire shop. Next door was a "yard sale' ,where i found and bought a bad a§$ hand made toy house. The roof opened on hinges to access the upper floors. The entire house was very detailed with curtains, closets,pantry. 2 sets of stairs leading upstairs. Really really cool, and I dont mind admitting that at 39, i sat and rearranged the furniture (yes hand crafted scale beds,fridge,cabinets,china hutch,ect) for like over an hour when we got home. My kids told on me so my wife made me quit.... lol
We paid $20!!! STEAL.........
Sadly,our dogs DESTROYED it one cold night after bringing them in to stay warm. I guess being warm left them awake and mischievous......

Doll houses are for little girls. ....Now if you put a train track in there somewhere- that's a mans hobby! :lolgoku:

Seriously- I've been seriously thinking about starting a business making playhouses that mimic the main house.

Show us some pics!

As you post scroll down and look for "manage attachments". Click that and it will give you options of where to import from. Pay attention to the parameters of size and KB. I downloaded "Image Shrink Lite" to resize my phone's pictures.

Edit: and if you are posting from "quick reply"- look for " Go Advanced".....

Wait- what? I remember seeing pics of your houses- but they aren't here now anyway.

One thing I forgot to mention was.the upload button towards the bottom right of the box where you load the files IIRC. Then scroll down to "close this window" and the next window should show the files in attachments. If so- you're ready to post your reply and the pics should be there.
