Hello all,

This is just incredible!!
I've used before some cork, but I didn't imagine that this kind of project is also possible. Thank you very much for ideas, I'll try this as soon as posible.
I saw that you have replied so many questions, I don't want to bore you but I have a question, too: Your sealer Gesso, I don't know what is it. Is it acrylic or what? Instead of it what can I use? Can I use enamel or acrylic paints for sealing?

Holy Moley Batman...... that is unbelieveable......
I gots ta gets dis cork stuff........ :-) :-) :-)

Hey Alguhan, feel free ask what you want
Diluted putty ( around 50%) is a good option. Also some paints for craftship is also a good.I hope see you work here soon

Best whises

Breathtaking

I guess I have to drink more wine. Each time I open a bottle of wine, I will have more cork for building.

Cheers

OK I quit.. "Q"

O.K. Carlos, thanks a lot. I'll be back with my cork production soon

Carlos, that is trully astonishing. The level of detail and realisim in the three story factory building, with the high overhead bridgeing corridor.... incredible. What really makes it so amazing is the fact that each brick is individualy cut and glued........ . How long did this building take you. I know I would loose my (already limited) sanity trying to attempt something on this scale..

Very impressed
Henk

I'm with Red4...I'm done, that's it, no more! LOL For me, that is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen, really amazing work! *sniff* *sniff*
Tito, hand me a tissue! :-)

Jeeze that's amazing,

i need some cork to.

I wish that cork is all that is needed to create this great factory. I could buy two truck loads of cork... and still not get these great results.

Getting the cork... is the easy part.

My hat is off... to you.
Jim

Incredible is the word! I ... am ... speechless ...

I've got so many questions ... I don't know where to begin.

Is there a site that gives step by step details on how this was done?

Hi blockhaus,

I have a question. It seems that inside the factory, everything is black...

Do you paint the inside black, is it the photo perspective, do you do details inside?

I'm wondering if you did inside work...

Thanks,and by the way ... your "Dio" is F.... incredible !!!

Es sorprendente cuando tecnicas como las tuyas y las de Miguel Jimenez se juntan. Cuanto tiempo les costo terminarlo?

Awesome!
Is it 1:35?

Thanks all for your attention,
These photos is only to demostrate that is possible with is material. These work was published in some magazines around the world.For all interested in tecniques I put a post about how made a brick wall in a previous post. Inside building is hollow I work and entire year in these factory, but big push was made in a week in summer: childrens in the pool,wife with my sister and I lonely at home with my cork, glue and cutter:-) make this jobs is the same that when you start learn write: at first you need help for every letter but afther, you can write fast and easy...is the same. brick afther brick you see how the wall grows and these vision give you forces for see finished work... this and you friend inquiring by phone how time needs you for finishing product :-)
feel free ask all questions about how made is, but first, lease see my previous post a image worth 1000 words
