This July, Create is heading for an Alpine Adventure!
July 12 - July 19
Camp Make-A-Mini kicks off on Saturday, July 12, and runs through Saturday, July 19, wrapping up with a cozy closing campfire. Throughout the week, we'll have puzzles, games, tutorials, and chances to win some amazing prizes!
There are so many options of what to do with these little creations. Maybe you want a charming summer scene with fields of flowers in the background. Or make it winter and fill the landscape with snow and add some skis or snowshoes waiting for the next snowy trek. While A-Frames are ideal for snowy locales (because the snow doesn't build up on the roof), you can use these houses in any setting that you want. People have been drawn to this style house in any remote location as fewer building materials are required. In Scandinavia, they are built in coastal areas and used as Holiday Homes. Maybe you'll need to build a whole community. Use your imagination!
Our kits this year are provided by two very talented artisans; Preble McDaniel and Alician Pearce. These kits are available in quarter inch scale only. (But, if you like bigger scales, keep reading!)
Alician is offering her kits with either a deck (here) or a sunroom (here). Preble is offering a basic kit for those who want the flexibility to do their own thing (here) or a fully detailed kit with pre-scored floors and walls for that wood beam and plank feel (here).
Not into quarter scale? While the cost of materials and shipping make providing these kits in larger scales quite challenging, Alician's houses are available as plans so you can cut your own half inch scale or one inch scale structure (here).
Whether you choose to purchase a kit/plans or not, there will be lots of activities and games and even Quick Minis sales that you can join in on. So save the dates and come join us for all the fun!
