Hello and Merry Christmas everybody!
This is perhaps not a real model building thing but who cares

I thought you could perhaps like it anyway.
Ladies and Gentlemen....My Gingerbread Castle! :-)




And last a wip shot:

Cheers Andreas

Thanks for looking!
It would perhaps stand against the gingerbread dragon I will try to build next year, but the Sherman....
It will probably be eaten when the rest of the christmas decorations are taken down..yummy!!

sweet, I think it needs some more weathering though, maybe one or two washes with dark oil colour :-)

Frank: There might come a Santa at Christmas Eve if the inhabitants in the castle have been nice!
Simon: The snow on the ground is cotton wool. The snow on the house is egg white, icing sugar and a little bit of lemon juice mixed together. Put it in a small plastic bag where you´ve made a small hole and squeze it onto the house.
Making gingerbread houses is a quite common tradition in Sweden, just in case someone thought it was my idea...
Cheers Andreas

Dear Andreas
Nice piece of work you have
especially the weathering on the roof. Nice toouch look like Nimix water:-)
Do you have workbench sorry kitchen pictures :-)
No Mister Ginger ??
Nice snow but if you want to stick to eatable ingredients you should try a mix of 50-50 salt and sugar give a really nice touch
Happy X-Mas and New YEar 2006

Nice Job Andreas, very nice. Its heart warming to see a young man like yourself to taking the time to create something as special as a gingerbread house. So many of us get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life that we forget what special ingredients go into making a holiday with the family a truely rememerable one. My hat is off to you sir.
