Carlos, this is superbe!
Is it possible to have a picture or desription of the inner life of the right building, the one with the inside curb. I need to do exactly that in the coming weeks and i may save me some time to see your setup.
Thanks

Carlos,
Literally impressive and inspiring for all of us. Heck, you have me wanting to ditch the vietnam dios and get back into the european theator and do some serious buildings.
Now I think I'll open that bottle of wine and break out a loaf and block of cheese too. Perfectisimo!

Thank you Carlos, that help's.
I may need something more sturdy as i am going to glue my stone-plasterwork on top of the curb.
I thought of using a double layer of styrodur (total 4 (or 6) cm thick) and sand the cutb in.
I take your solution into account and includ it in my thinking process-
Cheers

Another piece of art, the different structures of used materials will add life to the diorama and add more realism. Good job Carlos, very inventive to use a cd box ! Keep us posted, I'm hooked up.

Hi Carlos!
I just pop in to say hi! I'm one of the two boys that asked you a lot of questions about cork before your demo in Moson. I'm going into hunt mode this week to find the appropriate cork for bricks. I'm building a Staghound at the moment and you are going to laugh but It's going to be set in Normandy

I'm going to start a blog in this forum and I would be very happy if you critic my build.
Take care!
