Also this keeps my motivated to finish up earlier piece and start new ones

Have fun.

Last weekend I started experimenting with building houses in de 'same' way as the Black Magic Craft video to see how this would fan out for the building I tent to make.

I did use isolation foam that I had lieing around anyway, this feels a bit more sturdy than the foam he uses. So I will have to see how making woodgrane will turn out.

For now I have drawn the dimensions and started the outerwalls and roof:

Tonight I had the time and motivation to pick this piece up again. I am really happy with how the door turned out. I stil need to add the wooden beams and pillars and all of the shingles.

Also I need to find a new basing spray. I found out, at the last batch of base coating, that my current spray reacts with the foam in an unpleasant way (it eats the heart and soul out of it)

Maybe I need to switch to actual GW basing spray.

Got some time together over the past days to do all the 'woodwork'.

Construction-wise I am calling here done

Quite Happy with the end result. Though I think the shingles are a bit on the big side.
For the next building I will try to make them smaller.

Let me know what you think

I liked the building process a lot(I am an engineer after all ) so I think I'll be starting one or two buildings before I have the time to paint this one

Grrr, Imrahil

Because the First building is done I started a new one, today is planning the layout of the walls:

It turns out a bit bigger than I initially thought but nontheless Ealfish

In the past couple of days I made a bunch of bricks and now I started building:

Next up is the wooden floor

The Floor is up and I continued the walls:

Excellent terrain work!

I can imagine that placing all those stones in place one-by-one for the building walls took some time

Thank you!

It went quicker then I at first thought. Layer of 'Houtlijm' (tacky glue?) And then placing the bricks. Give it a couple of minutes to dry and repeat. So now and then in between work(working from home) a layer of bricks.

Very good work so far, i cannot wait to see it painted!.

The stonework looks very convincing, I like it! Is it just isolation foam from a hardware store or something special?

Thanks all

Thanks

That is correct. We've got some sheets left over from renovating in house.
The rest is pizza cardbox

Grrr, Imrahil

Then I'll copy that building technique when I'll finally get to tackle scenery for my lizards! Seems perfect for building step pyramids.

It has been a while, due to a lack of curage to put a knive in the walls I already made. But today I brought myself to it and started the to work on one of the facades of the building.

I think this will be how it will turn out:

It isn't set in concrete yet so I might change or tweek it a little
This will be repeated at all of the facades.

Grrr, Imrahil

Some developement on the farmers House today:



For the roof I am not sure what to do.
I have two options at the moment:



The last one is more of a dirty look compared to the first. I like the first more, but think that the last fits beter with the House. What do you guys think?

Grrr, Imrahil
