hello to all, I want to show the current state of the piece that I am building. Now I have gone filling the spaces among the wood with cork pieces. I have represented two stone types to give variety to the different walls. Now I will have three types of different texture that he/she will allow to carry out an interesting work with the painting.

Very nice work, I like your imperfections thats often seen in older houses - especially when there foundations is shiifting. Personally I have a tendency to make it too perfect.

Often wooden beams would protude and support overhanging stories and have some kind of ornamentation - are you going to ad this ?

I know you normaly let others paint and finish your work, but have you tried mixing raw pigments in the plaster ? - I have experianced that it often give deeper, richer and more realistic feeling to the walls?

Good work!
