Nice work, but I'm confused. Are the figures going to be inside the farmhouse or outdoors?

All figures going outdoors. they stand there just for example. The house will be without figures. May be only a cat

Yes. The roof will be detachable. If someone wants to see inside, its not a problem, but they also can see interior through the windows. Not all but almost everything.

Wow, that's some nice work Priit. Are you going to distress the outside walls though? It looks a bit to 'clean' I think. Looking forward to the next update.

Did you cut the notches in the dowels with your Xacto knife, or did you use a jig and drill or dremel?

I use all of them for that
A clock is from Eduard photoetched kit.

Excuse my little poor english. I can read but writing isnt my strongest side.

Very nice work on the house, inside and out.

Those round wooden dowels that you built the house walls with, where did you get them from?

The Eduard cuckoo clock, can you give us the number of the set it comes in?

Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Wood I get from local woodstore. They sell it in various diameters: 6,8,10,12 to 50 millimeters.
Cuckoo clock was in Eduard set called 1/35 KITCHEN ACCESSORIES for DIORAMAS #36185

What kind of skills to you mean?
I'm noobie in model building. I build models only 2 years and in this time I finished only 3 models and one little dio. My skills are very small in this time. But i'll learn and practise, I promise

Not wishing to be too critical as I couldn't do any better, but log cabins usually, or always, have some kind of caulking or tar, sometimes turf or sod, stuffed between the rows of logs to further water-proof and keep out drafts. I could never do a log cabin as I'm too lazy to cut all the notches. I would probably buy a set of 'Lincoln Logs' instead . A Russian (or Ukrainian) company called Bastion 35 has some very nice all wood kits of various buildings, bridges, etc., but are a little on the expensive side, and as far as I know, are only available from the company. PS; you can actually download their catalogue and construct you own from their designs and construction methods.
