Great Idea Lee!

Thanks Lee, but I was more intrigued by the stove top range. How did you do that?

Great job Lee!  Simple and effective. 

Very nice!

It is a block of fine-grained hardwood from scrap I had - I think poplar,cut  to the dimensions of the "box" for the stove.  I then glued a piece of 1/6 inch mattbaord on the backso it juts up for the backboard on in along the back, etc., and trimmed to shape, then covered it had dried.  Primed (important with the spackling), painted it satin white, sanded that with #800 paper to finish, then used a fine brush to apply dots for buttons and to do the burners.

I made the refrigerator and a few other appliances around the trailer park including the washer-dryer at the office at the same time with the same process.

Washer and dryer at home made, coke machine is store-bought.

don't fergit ta have a few green backs stickin' out the mattress.

us folks don't believe in dem dere high falutin' banks.

...ya hear me, boy?!

Really good, creative work, Lee.  I love details.

Never fails...there are always a good looking women or two in these ronchy trailer parks.Good job.

And there will be more good looking women.  I've got a set of unpainted JTT figures and several are real babes.  I'm doing one as Joan, the young lady on the cover of the great 1957 literary classic Trailer Tramp.  She will be standing near the office (in the book she runs the trailer park office)  watching the scene I'm making where the police are arresting one of the trailer park's best citizens.
