Very unique stone work with the field stones and cut stones merging together with the top framing. Really draws you in.

Well done. Whats the plan on painting the window wood work?

I hope that soon I can send some photos of the process. My aims when I put these photos is inspiring others. Most of these photos are buildings alf constructed for see how is made: materials, etc...
I pur these big buildings only to mostrate how far you can reach with these material. But these metod is very sutiable for make higly detailed little structures: a garden entrance, a little corner, a column, etc...
LAte I post photos of houses made in balsa wood and Das pronto. We can use a wide variety of materials for make structures.
best whises
