Your buldigs are great. Nice to see all of them in gallery. I can't wait for your article about roof tiles. I always wondered how to make them.
Now I'am planning to built my first cork building. I used plaster for buildings, but when I saw your factory I decidetd that I must try this method.

Wow! That factory is great (the one with the StuG).!

How are the buildings made? What materials do you use?

regards,
Steen

Incredibly detailed buildings. Much better than some of the commercial stuff I've seen out there. Perhaps you could share some tips and the type of materials used with poor building-challenged dummies like myself who has only managed to build a tent so far.

If you click on blockhaus profile.... you will see all his posts on how he constructed these. Either under Forum Posts, or Topics Started.
Hope that helps

Very beautiful buildings, blockhaus. i wish I had your incredible talent.

By the way, have you done a Russian farmhouse? If you have, can you show a pic of it? Can you do one? You see, I need to refer to it for the construction of my Nashorn dio.

Very good builds. Excellent!

Thanks mates for your nice words.
In previous post I ws expalined how is made most of these buildings, but if you need additional explanations I ´m happy of do it. I´m a overleeming work charge and scarce time for do it.I´m not a professional modelbuilder but make these models for friends, magazine articles and some diorama accesories companies. I whish strongly make also an ( or many) articles for Armorama but is impossible now.In general my tecniques was used for other good modelers that have here articles writen In digital diamonds section . But in modelling construction not all is only tecnique we need also good documentation and pay attention to detail: architectural ornamentation, proportions, etc I try every time that I found a interesting page about this make a link here I tink that this is very usseful for people worried about make good house models for is dioramas.
Angela: yes I maded some structures about russian wooden houses:


This is a typical grannary with stable in frist floor, granary upper floor. you can see how is build in a previuos messaje

this is in plastic

this is a corner of one church taken from previous link. Is a combiantion of plastic in upper part with cork and cardboard in lower part

his is also made in plastic.window is a typical ornamnet tipical of these houses


this is made in balsa. first I made a cardboard structure and glue strips of balsa. windows are made in plastic
