Looks great Carlos. How do you apply the stones to the wood do you grade them to different sizes or just lay down some adhesive and then just apply a lot of stones at once or one by one?

Carlos,

Your work is very inspiring as usual.
The stone walls look very realistic.
Keep us updated on your progress.

Cheers,

Pablo

hi Pat,
Pat,
first I stick all cork bits around the wood and around windows and doors, in the area not covered with cork I spill white glue ( a lot)in the "white pool" I put the stones as salt in the soup :-) late I put talcum for avoding that the bottle that I used as equalizer sticks with the stones and glue this process in the same way that a roller works the sphalt in repairing streets,late, when all is dry I flatened the most prominent stones with a hammer.
hope that the explanation will be clear...

Gracias Pablo por tus amables palabras
Thanks Pablo for your nice words

Thanks Carlos I'm going to try it out

So far I like it, I have to remind myself that this is 1/72. Once the roof is done I believe it will really shine.

I really like the way you're not a one trick cork poney and that you always try new tricks with your buildings -your new building ideas are tops!

Always great to see your latest works carlos. Inspiational as always.

Thanks friends for you nice words, soon I will present other photos with more finished with a layer of shawdiust and white glue.
cheers
Carlos
