I purchased two of these 4 inch deep house fronts with an idea of turning them into Shotgun houses.  Each will have a different front porch area, but will reflect the homes of New Orleans.

So after months of ignoring this kit(s) calling out to me, I finally decided to get started on it.  I decided since I was given another partial kit about a couple of years ago (BIG Thanks to jbresr ), to enlarge the house a bit.

A small build from a kit from the 1980s that was sold/given at the Deep South Miniature show that used to be yearly in New Orleans.  I found this kit on an online mini auction a couple of months ago.

A "quick" build for me.  Doing just a little bashing by upgrading the windows and door.  I am adding the stained glass window I purchased off eBay some time ago.  I am also adding a small 'add on" bathroom to the back of the house.  I decided on a witch's cottage after finding some great Halloween pieces.

I started this over 6 years ago, and have been working on it off and on since then. I am trying to get myself to dedicate more time to it as I see the light at the end of the tunnel and am anxious to see is finished.

I built this Canterbury a few years ago for a haunted house, and only finished the exterior. I need to get busy on it and work on the interior and set the scene for Halloween!

I built this from the Plaid Enterprises plantation plan book. I extended the wings up a story on each side. I was 15 - 16 at the time of building this (I'm 42 now). Wow, so many years enjoying miniatures!
