Ivy Hollow - Rural Free Delivery Post Office
HBS Creatin' Contest 2019
Rural Free Delivery has come to the village of Ivy Hollow! Mr. McCants and his trusty equine companion Jebediah will make sure your mail arrives at your home safely and in a timely manner. Register your address at the local post office today!
------
RFD - Rural Free Delivery - transformed the landscape of rural towns by removing the arduous chore of traveling long miles to the post office as well as providing greater access to goods and services. Mail order increased purchasing options for individuals and fueled business. Mail carriers were responsible for providing their own wagons and horses, having to traverse poor roads in all types of weather. RFD eventually led to the Rural Post Roads Act, which further developed rural communities by improving roads.
I set my post office in 1917, a number of years after the advent of RFD. The mail wagon passenger cabin was scratch built and fitted over a doctor's buggy kit chassis. Jebediah the horse started as a plastic Breyer model.

Half Clocked - Creatin' Contest 2018
Half Clocked is situated in a market village known for its unique shops, mountain scenery and beautiful gardens. While the shop has timepieces for sale in every price range, the main attraction is the working cuckoo clock on the face of the building. Every hour and half hour, the cuckoo emerges from his home and bellows the time to the delight of onlookers. Half Clocked is open daily from 10 to 4, but the cuckoo sounds from sunrise to sunset.

Half Clocked is my entry in the 2018 Creatin' Contest by Hobby Builders Supply. Full post here .

Watson Mill
Built from the 2009 Spring Fling kit and inspired by Jen's (Intrinsicat) Loganberry Mill.
I will keep the full scale aspect and make this more of a fantasy build in the vein of Roland's Retreat. This will also be a mill rehab with most of the inner workings of a proper mill long gone and replaced with the cozy decor of its current resident, Gustav, who is an otter with a thirst for knowledge and culture.

Walnut Bay Light - Creatin' Contest 2013
Walnut Bay Light was inspired by Chicago Harbor Light and constructed from the Charming Cottage and Greenleaf Lighthouse kits. I sawed the cottage in half to make room for the lighthouse tower. I cut down the roof on the cottage and lowered the tower as well.
I made most of the furnishings from vintage and contemporary kits. The 16.25" tall spiral staircase is scratch built from textured and smooth plastic sheet, wood beads and spindles, jewelry findings and brass wire. The lantern room contains a Cir-Kit beacon light that illuminates a Harbour Lights Fresnel lens ornament. The tower lights are made from doll hair rollers and LEDs. The wood base is textured and painted to look like concrete, aged from water exposure and sea life.
