Totally jealous!  This is the only playset that I want.  I had it as a kid and absolutely love it. Great find!

Thanks! This is one of four I especially want. The others are Megan's Place, and the big two: Dream Castle and Paradise Estate.

Awesome!  You will have a lot of fun tracking down the accessories to complete it now.  I like putting things together like that, it's always fun when you find the last pieces you need

That and painting the sculpted detailing.
That feeling of completion is lovely indeed - Transformers has made me well acquainted with parting stuff together, and even getting close feels great (I have G2 Superion, and am missing only the missiles and the smaller Aerialbots' guns, and I feel so proud)

Thanks. What colors would you recommend for the ribbons and the lacy trim?

This is such a cute playset!

This is such a cute playset!

It really is. I'm planning on painting sculpted detail such as the lacy trim and the ribbons under the windows - do you happen to have any suggestions as far as colors go? I'd love to use pink, but my pink paint doesn't dry remotely smoothly on that plastic

Of course, my pink paint is itself more at fault. I get better from my other colors.

That set is so cute! If I were going to paint the sculpted parts, I would probably do the top trim in pink, and around the windows in different colors (yellow, mint green, lavender) to pick up the colors from the inside.

My pink paint, as I said, is a bit faily. Would metallic pinkish red work?

Speaking of the set, here's a comic I did with it.

That's OK. I bet it would look good with just yellow, mint green, and lavender. The bottom of the shoe is pink, so you've already got your pink right there. Whatever you decide ... pics, please.

One of my favourites and yours looks like it's in great shape too!

I agree with buddyboymama, I'd match colours from the playset itself to keep it true to its original color scheme.
