Hello this is a nother piece that I´m working with it. In a classic way y do first a rigid structure ( this time is wood from a fruit box) and afther I glued cork and balsa to simulate texture.

Hi Carlos. Your creations at your best. They´re not even painted, and yet they look the part. What lucky person will have the pleasure of painting these?

Thanks guys for your fedback :-) hope that this images will be useful for people that want start construction is how building in scale.

Frank: this is for an article that soon will be published

Claude, this time I have designed the volume of these buildings, in the previous work I only do it from a plan, on interpretation only skill needed:-)

Brad, I not have these photos, but inside is empty, only structure for make a solid construction: the floor united to walls with wood strips.

Hi DJ
this texture is obtained sanding the cork with sandpaper of big grain ( for wood) before cut them for simulate the stone.

You never cease to amaze me but you always make it look a lot easier than what it is to do. Thanks for taking the time to post these photos for us because the unpainted version at least gives us all some idea of what we have to aim for,that´s if we dare to try
