Hola Carlos
Looks like the real deal there! How difficult is it to texture the different surfaces? ie. The roof compared to the walls...
Also you mentioned brickwork- did you mean the walls? Are they yet to be patterned or are the actually to be stone?
Cheers
Brad

Hello, thanks for your nice words
I will try expalin what metod I used for this house

this texture is easy to make. the walls are made with plastic of 3mm of tickness.first I sanded with sandpaper of the I number 5, later with the tip of a cutter it rasps all the plastic and with a scriber it marks all the wood.
The roof made it like in the reality:I put a series of ribbons of plastic and later a second series that you/they cover the union among them. To get the texture it treats the ribbons of plastic as the walls: first it sands them and later it rasps them with the cutter. It depends of like use the cutter you will get a texture but or less deep.also sand all the borders of the ribbons and apply small bites in the borders so that they were not so right and they lost the aspect of ribbon of plastic.
the bricks of the chimney are pieces of plastic of 2X6 mm glued to the structure. after gluing all the pieces I have applied a generous layer of solvent universal this dilutes the borders and he/she gives him an aspect of very interesting old brick.

cheers

Carlos
