I always did. This is by far the coolest thing you will ever read in your entire life,enjoy.

In the early years of the strip, Snoopy’s doghouse was typically seen from the front or front plus one side, with the standard arched doorway of a doghouse, and Snoopy’s name arched over the door. Snoopy would sleep in the doghouse.

On December 12, 1958, Snoopy slept on top of his doghouse, rather than inside it, for the first time. Thereafter, Snoopy was seldom seen to venture inside the doghouse, except to retrieve something, instead spending the bulk of his time sitting or lying on its pitched roof. One strip ascribed Snoopy’s ability to sleep there to his ears, which "lock" him to the top so that he doesn’t fall.

At this point, the side view of the doghouse became standard in the strip, which allowed the imagination of Schulz (and Snoopy) to expand this dwelling beyond the limits of a normal doghouse.

Despite Snoopy’s tendency to stay outside in all weather (in some cases even allowing snow to accumulate on his supine body, or wearing a snorkel when it rains), a running gag established that the interior of Snoopy’s doghouse was something extraordinary. It defied physics, being dramatically larger on the inside than the outside, with a carpeted foyer, a den, a library, a guest room, a stairway and a basement. The first indication of the doghouse’s unique layout occurred on January 31, 1954 when Charlie Brown was puzzled to see all his neighbourhood friends crawling into it for a visit. The doghouse was destroyed several times over the years, being hit by a tree due to a chase over Linus’ blanket (July 26, 1959), crushed by a large icicle (February 13, 1960), and finally burned to the ground (September 19, 1966). In each case the doghouse was soon rebuilt. Although individual items were lost in the fire, each replacement doghouse appears to have retained the spaciousness and opulence of its predecessor.

The interior was decorated with several pricey acquisitions including a painting by Van Gogh, first mentioned on February 29, 1964. After the fire destroyed the Van Gogh, it was replaced by an Andrew Wyeth. At various times the interior of Snoopy’s doghouse also held bunk beds, a pool table, a ping pong table, a television, a mural (painted by Linus), a shower, a cedar closet, a grandfather clock, and a jacuzzi.[5]

Features established in the television specials include a fine kitchen (A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving), and sound equipment (A Boy Named Charlie Brown). In It’s Magic, Charlie Brown, Snoopy enters his dog house and the underground interior is depicted as spacious and well equipped for anything he needs.

The doghouse also serves as a prop for Snoopy, often imagined as a World War I "Sopwith Camel" fighting plane in Snoopy’s battles with the Red Baron. During these aerial fights, Snoopy’s house often suffers from bullet holes and occasionally crashes. However, this seems to take place solely in Snoopy’s imagination, as the house is in perfect shape later.

Got the idea to do this while starring at the Pepsi can that lived on the table for days on end. The re-occuring Robotic bird in my work symbolizes myself. Anytime you see him that is me.
This is made to scale, Constructed pretty simply with a few wood plane kits I got from Micheals, a soda can, Some foam cone,Sculpy clay,Super glue, Gem stones (still not added for the eyes) This is still a work in progress and needs to be painted.
This is a proto type for a Modle kit I am designing.




































Ill paint it this week.
