You have made some nice progress since your last post. Looking good, I really like the roof-you must have gone through a lot of stirs.

That's a great looking facade. What are you going to do to it to finish it?

Thanks - the best shot of all of them is the back side one. It really shows off how you build the structure.

Very well done. The top row of windows is great, very uniform and I love the bottom sill.

Carlos,

Once again a work of art. The stonework is excellent. I think I need to go to Starbucks for roofing material

Awesome! I have a question about the stonework : do you engrave it or cut every stone and stick it to the surface?

Thanks for your nice words,

this model is made doing first a cardboard structure and stick in it bits of cork. Every bit is sanded before glued it in the structure.
for ducht nates: this door is inspired in one that exists in Valkenburg

That looks great. What material/technique did you use for the stone behind the cork/"brick", where the outer layer has kinda degraded away. Is that also cork? Kinda looks like a puddy type substance

Hello Chris
this tower has been manufactured this way:

first I made the cardboard structure, like you can see in the picture that shows the part of behind.

to represent the stones it cuts rectangles of cork of different measures, it sands them to give them the stone texture and it glues them to the cardboard structure.

the round stones of the part superior left are made with putty epoxi of two components. I made small balls and I squashed them against the cardboard.

The tiles made them with sticks of removing the coffee

Apply to the whole construction a spackle layer to fill the spaces among the cork to simulate the cement.

I applied a layer of painting of latex base (those used in the schools so that the small children paint) to seal the cork to be able to paint later with aerograf

I hope this explanation helps
CArlos
