Winter Projects: Part One

 This time of year is rough.  The long nights and short days, with holidays over.  What I need is a project!  


Goodwill delivered. A folding house and an ambulance to customize!  Other stuff, too, but I digress.


Not a house.  Barbie Cook and Grill Restaurant.  (Ad photo)




But the other really is an ambulance. (Ad photo)

Both playsets are missing a lot of pieces.  Basically, anything that isn't attached to the building or vehicle!  The flashing lights and siren sounds on the ambulance don't work, but we all know I wouldn't have used them anyway.


The ambulance "interior" is missing all the loose stuff, as mentioned, but also the top of the admissions counter.  At least I'm assuming that thing that folds down into the floor is - the ad photo shows it upright and having a sort of desktop.  Otherwise this looks to be in pretty good shape.




"Exterior" looks good.  
Both playsets will need gentle cleaning, because most of details are stickers or cardboard. 
Also because they are too big for my dishwasher.


Exterior of the Cook & Grill.  I knew this was a fairly new playset because of the electric car charger!  I'm not crazy about the folding corners being so small - they look more like shutters than walls and that hurts my brain.  Maybe I'll decide it's a patio enclosure.


Interior of Cook & Grill.  It is missing one of the cardboard backings (beside the pizza oven).


Drying off after a bath.  

To be continued.
