Hi Guy, that one looks real good, i saw quite a few houses like that in Normandy, i just love the work on the planks on the front. Only thing that i would redo are the ground cover on the top of the house -it's too even, like well groomed punk hair

Thank you guys, your opinion means a lot to me !

JBA : it's quite bizar, the pics show the irisses on top of my roof as if they are all of the same length indeed.
I used this photo for reference :


When I look at it on my work table, there is more variation in the green and brown-yellow tones, and in lengths of the plants, compared with the pics of it. I'm afraid now to ruin it, but I will try to do better next time. Thank you very much for your opinion, I appreciate it a lot. G.

Building turned out really great.
All your techniques will translate to larger scales also.

Thank you Dave, your encouraging words are always welcome.

Guys, now my shack is 99% finished, I moved it to the Diorama-Braille Scale section, new progress about the base with the trees and other vegetation over there. I hope you take a look and tell me what you think about it. G.

Nice work. I liked it and started to built the same home in the same skal 1:72. I made walls but I have problem with roof. You can write step by step.
