dirtprod 10-08-2005, 04:02 AM Maybe she's on a date... :D
Djblank 10-08-2005, 05:54 AM Thanks everyone! I think I got the photo problem taken care of. They haven't made a Marilyn figure yet so that's why she's missing.
gilligan fanatic 10-08-2005, 09:21 AM I like that a lot. It looks great.
lillysmansion 10-08-2005, 10:16 AM Great Job! I think it looks wonderful.
Munsters#1 10-08-2005, 10:55 AM Would make a great display for Halloween!
What about Barbie with a Marilyn hair style? Temporarily, of course. :)
dirtprod 10-09-2005, 07:57 AM I'd guess Eddie to be about 1" tall. I think a Barbie, even a miniature one, would likely be way to big. Does Hallmark make any ornaments that could be modified into Marilyn? Maybe I Love Lucy or something like that...
BTW, Djblank, very cool!
Wondering,
Dirt
Great idea. It is a good display and really needs a Marilyn in it.
Djblank 10-10-2005, 05:23 AM I should've mentioned the scale, the house is the same size as those halloween scary houses you see in department stores now, Herman is 2 inches and Eddie is about a inch. Here is a picture that shows the scale.

Hawthorne released 4 Munster sets: House and Herman, Inn with Lily, Hotel with Grandpa, drive-in with Koach and Eddie. So you have to spend $200 ($50 each) and buy 3 buildings that were never in the TV series just to get the stuff that was. They should've included a Marilyn with one of the sets.
Munsters#1, You're right this is going to be on display for Halloween. Wait until you see what else I'm building for this Halloween! I'll give you a hint: it's a MUCH larger scale than this!
dirtprod 10-10-2005, 06:46 AM Mmmm... A&W Root Beer... :cheers:

Ahh, I know what you're talking about. ;) I won't tell what it is, because I don't want to spoil it for others.
Wow. They are small. Did you have to paint everything yourself?

No, the houses and figures come painted. I built the wood display case from scratch, photoshopped the background picture, bought the moss grass, road, trees, and fences and put it all together.
