Just test fitting some components, but everything is going together well so far.
Next step is some texturing details.
Not sure if I want to "spookify" it? or just leave it as the Realtor presented it?



I have to admit, this has been a fun break for me so far.
I think this calls for an Addams Family house next?

Dang, nice looking' model you have there!

Oh that is a great job! I have the figures of the Munsters already made.Ill take some pictures when it is more sunny.
You guys have some great skills at designing things out of paper. Is there any way you could use a laser cutter and make paper/carton/laserboard/wood models?

I don't remember where I saw it, but I have seen paper models done in other mediums like that. The funniest one I saw was the gal that got the pieces of Warcraft models or something printed on cloth and made throw pillows.

It certainly should be do-able. Keep in mind, as designed, these are to scale with Dave's KoolWheelz models.

Are these the ones? Could work well with Dave's if scaled properly.

Whoa! Gimp could be used to create 2-d Standees. Did you notice the date on the cover page? 1959.

I didn't realize The Munsters were around before the TV show

It has to do with the early stages of developing the series. Wiki knows that it was planned to be cartoon first and the idea of a television sitcom came later. There was some rivalry between two studious at that time and maybe they were marking some ground for them.

I find it amazing that the casting of the show matches the cartoon images so well.

I don't know why that Dress Up Doll Book cover says 1959, but its wrong.
The book features images of the second season cast which would not have been known in 1959.
Even the original considerations and pilot episode cast wouldn't have been known at that time.

The book also features artwork of Herman's "suit of armor from the first episode, Munster Masquerade".

Another obvious problem is the painting of the Munster house.
The house is part of the Universal lot, already used in other series, most notably in Leave it to Beaver.
Leave it to Beaver was still in production in 1959, and the fake house was not modified into the Munster home until 1964.

Those types of books were common later in the 60s...I would say its supposed to be 1969.
Probably a modern day "photoshopping" error of an old image.

I take it from you, I'm no expert in this field either. Just found the dolls which are nice and could be worked out to be standees in front of your nice mansion.
