Carlos,

Very well done, I really enjoy seeing your work. Despite the photos, all have some exception detail. The third building, I think I have seen that one previously, was that used in a diorama or is that one being sold by someone now? What did you use for flowers in the flower boxes?

Exceptional work

Jay

I've seen these buildings before but I didn't know that they are yours. Still waiting for a step by step article about the cork buildings

The third building, I think I have seen that one previously, was that used in a diorama or is that one being sold by someone now?

The first time I ever heard Carlos´s name being mentioned was along with this model. It was with a small SBS on Doc´s Dios, on how to cast plaster. This was given as an example of what was possible with the the casting method. Needless to say, I was very inspired and have never forgotten the name or the building!
its always a pleasure to see your work Carlos ... new or old.

Frank,

That would not surprise me if that is where I saw that one before.

Thanks

Wonderful stuff....

two things can make or break such models :

The model itself and....

The way it is painted....

Both things have superbly been done, making them wonderful objects in almost any diorama.

I always love to see your creations, so please keep them coming....perhaps I can even drag you into writing a new article on how to make em ?
