2015 OCBMG and Shoe Box Bunch Club Projects


To kick off the new year right, both the Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild and the Shoe Box Bunch are starting on group projects. Above, you can see a completed version of the OCBMG project, which is a 1:12 front porch that can hang on the wall. The idea is to change the porch decorations throughout the year to display seasonal items. There are two options for the porch size. The kit shown below is the smaller version (missing the roof piece in this image):


There is also an extended porch version, which includes a window and more space for display (the porch below is being rehabbed -- it previously included porch rails and a rooftop garden):


The Shoe Box Bunch has one version of their 1:12 kit for a bay window display. In the photo below, you can see the back wall of the bay leaning up against the real-life wall for now. This builder is playing around with the idea of a widow's walk up top (great idea!). Shoe Box members will be able to proudly display many minis in these lovely windows:



We'll be sure to share more photos throughout the year as we work on these kits. As always, feel free to come and join us!
