Hello I was wondering if anyone has already built Lamar's cute little Stealth cabin and if so can you post pictures ?
I'm thinking building one but instead of 8x8 I'm thinking 8x12
any ideals or suggestions would be appreciated .

Most people here have designed bigger or more complex Cabin's. Lamar's is more of a Tiny House rather than a cabin.
Just by rough memory I would say most here have 500-900 square feet on average. A few have multiple buildings in a "Compound Format" such as a Kitchen/Dining building, Sleeping Building etc.
This is also an International / Global site and so folks from Australia / New Zealand to Canada and South Africa even post here and the mix of how, what, where is quite varied.

Following on to Steve's comments, the reason no feedback is likely because nobody has built the cabin you reference. I can't say I have read EVERY post, but that's the first reference I remember to a "Stealth cabin".
If you have questions about cabins your size that are not brand-specific, I'm sure there are tons of people here that would respond as others have built in that size range and would love to share their experiences. Mine's a bit bigger at 14x40, but I (and certainly others) would still share anything we know that would help.
My $.02.
p.s. where are you thinking of building?

As a Bunkie it looks promising. Trying to get a small kitchen or toilet into it could be difficult. I think all the framing is undersized, especially the main floor, loft floor joists and the roof. I would go up one size in all the lumber. Do you plan on insulating it? What type of foundation would you use?

While not exactly the Lamar stealth cabin, the bunkie we built is 8x12 and shares many of the same characteristics. Check it out:
