It is really going to look like an old stone house, I like it I'm wondering how you're going to make an olive tree..

Gr!

Wijnand

Great work mate, I like the buildings; superb.

Chas, I havnt find it but I'll let you know be sure.
Thanks Wijnand, Frank and Martyn for your kind words.

Following is the way I use for the tiles.

I use light cardboard, but you can use heavy paper too. Just get a lighter cardboard than the one you use for house structure.
First make a grid on the leaf, then cut to get thin stripes.
The re-cut it till you get this nice stack of rectangles.

Now let's this cardboard takes shape on a cylinder to get this mediterranean looking round tiles. Time to glue!

Regards Gents.

Wow Alexandre, what a perfect walls you've created with cork ! This really looks just great, each stone was glued on with care, congrats my friend.

Also the woodwork is very convincing, I just like this topic. I'm hooked up now !!!

Salutations mon ami, Guy.

You keep on surprising me Alexandre, this is pretty good! Your building looks ace

Very nice work indeed.
Only allow me to make a correction about the tilling.
You should put a row of tiles upside down among two rows of tiles.I don't know if you understand me.
let me show you how:
the tiles as you have placed them:
(_(_(_(
(_(_(_(


The correct form should be like this:
(_(_(_(
)_)_)_)------>the row I am talking about
(_(_(_(

The row in the middle I have made,should be among and below yours,and all this to prevent water from falling inside the wooden roof.
Thank you and excuse for my correction post
Best regards,
Zisis Tsagarakis

Fantastic so far! I'll be watching this...

Hello gents,

Guy, I'm glad you like it, your work on "wilkommen" is a true inspiration for me.
JBA, thanks my friend, I hope i'll keep on surprising you.
Rob thanks.
Zisis, thanks for your constructive comments. I fix this issue and I'm happy to say that you were absolutely right. Nice to have you onboard!

Now, pics of the roof.
Hope you like

Is this the result of being an inspiration for you ? Well Alexandre, in that case I'm not only flattered, but proud too ! You are doing a very realistic build and it makes me feel on vacation looking at it !
The roof tiles are magnificent ! What a topic this is ! G.

Salut Alexandre,

For some reason i missed this one! You did some great work here, this look absolutely convincing.
I'm glad to have another scratchbuilder onboard.
It surely is more fun as simply putting up a prebuild house!

Salut
Claude

Pas mal Vraiment incroyable
I miss also that one, the wall texture is outstanding
I hope to see more pic from you soon
Cheers
Seb

Guy my friend, I'm so glad you like my work!
Claude, thanks for your comment, cause each time I see your work it gives me the boost I need. I'm proud of your thoughts on my work.
Seb thanks, I bring you new pics!

The house primed, need some other details (wiring, etc...) after painting.
I begun the paintwork on the door. (no this is not a tribute to Rolling Stones)


Hope you like gents.

Amazing work Alexandre, Congratulations. I will being keeping a close eye on your progress

Very impressive work so far. I'm looking forward to watching the progression of this project.

Thanks guys.

Here are new pics :
Beginning of the paintwork on walls. Before the dust.

Comments welcome! Hope you like it.
Regards gents.

Alexandre, that is some seriously good work there. I am really enjoying this thread.

Did you remember / find out the name of that thin wood you used for the door? (did I overlook what it is called in the thread?)

Cheers,
Bill.

Very Cool!

Excellent work Alexandre. I've been collecting figures and refernce photos for a similar build, but it's been on the back burner (so to speak) for some time. Thanks for the inspiration.

I like it, really realistic! Now only giving few stones other colours, a bit drybrushing and it will look splendid!

Gr.

Wijnand

you should put an advertisement or a poster on one of the walls....or you could put the remains of a roman statue or column or some thing like that. make shure that if its a column., its a doric column, because this is grece.

Wow! I now understand why JB told me to check out this thread. Amazing stuff! I'll definitely be checking in regularly.

Rudi

This is just stunning work mate! Well done.

Hello Gents,

Thanks all,
Bill, I can't find this wood, but I'm pretty sure it's "ramin".
Rudi, thanks for looking, I 'm lucky JB talk about my work..



On the following pics, you could see the almost finished stones, and the beginning of the roof. Hope you like. I add some wire, not painted yet.





Hope you like!
Cheers!

looks good Alexandre, the roof looks really well painted, especially on the 2nd pic on the left.
I hope that is the real look.

Claude
