Easter Bible Paper Toys 2012


The Easter Story and Easter Coloring Pages

Calendar for April 2012

Update and Preview of Project in the Works—April 19

It has been awhile since I posted new projects on the blog, besides the monthly 3D calendar, but I have been working on the castle and though it is not done yet, here are a few preview photos.

I am working on the first two sections, one will be a house, the other the guard’s tower. As you can imagine there are lots of details involved. Both sections will have a basement, the oubliettes, and a secret passage.

After doing the mock-up and fixing all the details, to make sure everything fits well together, I have started on the texture for the different parts; here you can see a preview of the small room under the house.





































The house itself is different from my original model, but will still have plenty of interesting details to place inside and a nice fireplace.








































It will have new people and creatures, (and many different accessories that you can make to furnish your castle).
















Here’s a photo of the guard tower, though it will be somewhat different in the final.





















And here are a few sample pages of the texture being worked on.









































And if you are interested, here are some books I have been collecting on castles and medieval life, for inspiration. I’m including here a list of the titles and authors of these books, in case you would like to order them on line or at your local bookshop.





























Again, thank you for your comments and letters, it is always a great encouragement. And to those of you who have sent donations, your gifts are a great help to continue to producing.

Thank you, Didier

After many changes, and fixing, and testing, the castle is near completion. I change the layout in order to have a more complete castle, (and I keep the other parts I have been working on for another project).

You are all invited to come visit the new web site for “My Little House”.
Now I can arrange and organize the various projects in their respective rooms. So far, in a way I have been stacking them up in the hallway, but now I am able to arrange them nicely on shelves and put pictures on the wall.


So here’s the address:


 















Some of the rooms are still empty, but I am working on updating the files, fixing a few things so you can find the PDFs right there on the site.
I will continue to post previews and news on the blog, but the actual files will be on the web site. So do come for a visit.

The projects that have been posted so far are:

In the section: Bible - coloring pages:
. The Easter story


















. The parable of the two houses


















[] Bible crafts:
. The armor of God paper model












In the section: Little Town Paper Toys - the train set
. The train station


















And of course, soon the new MiniWorld project: The Castle and many other items, new and old (as I prepare them for the web site).

Thank you for all your many encouraging comments and mail. This year has been very busy with the preparation of The Castle, which is a big project. But that isn’t all there will be. Many others are in the works.

Thank you for your encouragement! Also, the donations you have sent are very helpful—enabling me to post more projects for free.

I started to re post the files for the Miniworld paper Toys on my new web site:
(The web site is still under construction but the files should be there under the Miniworld Paper Toys section)

With these new posts, I edit and update the files, so, do make sure to check and download the latest ones, there you will find the PDF to download as well as the instructions, and …

As you can see from the picture below, new parts to add to your Miniworld:
[] New terrain tiles
[] 2 new characters that a young friend sent me (in the section Fan Art, include with the pdf)
[] And finally, the first dinosaur, a stegosaurus, (one of my favorite)


















































If you like, you can write me for ideas on next parts to add to the series, or send your fan art or photos of your models, and if you agree, I could post them to share with others (I’ll ask you first and I might fix them a little to make them fit for printing)


There are many others parts, old and new, almost ready to post as well as a list of ideas that I will try to get too as soon as I can.

Have fun creating your Miniworld!
