Looks good so far. Photos are a bit small, but pretty good.
What are you using to cut the cork? A knife or saw? The knife can be hard because if you apply to much pressure the cork will actually 'pull' and distort as you draw the knife. A saw gives a better cut, but takes longer.
I am actually using cork from coasters - and a sharp knife, i have seen the link u posted and it to is good. I find it easy to cut when i use a saw like motion, then there's no tearing so far.
I'll post some more shoots when i get a bit more work done.

Gday Krisha Looking good mate Are you working off a photo or from memory? The larger stone work at ground level would maybe have one large rectangular stone to cover the doorstep instead of the three smaller ones maybe? I like the variance in roof heights and pitches; should make for a good looking diorama scene... Where is the building supposedly set; France? Cheers Brad

Thaks for the kind words I have begun on the roof, using balsa. I plan to make the tiles flat, with .5mm paper - glue it on and paint it well for strenght. I will only use high detail in the lower part, where the house has taken some damage - here's shoot (taken in the late afternoon sun)

...and because it is a forgiving material to work with - plus I just love tu chop up coasters into aprox 2000 bits and glue'em on (building is 99% of the fun)
